Brachioplasty or arm surgery

What is brachioplasty or arm lifting?
It is the technique used to remove excess skin hanging from the top of the rod.

Most patients have this condition when they have a rapid weight reduction, or lack of elasticity because of the weight variation for a long time.

Many times, this excess skin is the natural result of age and develops over time, such as wrinkles.

How is arm surgery?
As a first step of surgery, an incision is made in the upper part of the branch. The location and length of this incision vary according to the amount of skin that needs to be removed.

If you have excess fat on the arms, and flaccidity, you can choose to combine brachioplasty with a liposuction of arms, to achieve better results.

How is the recovery of a brachioplasty?
After the surgery, the bandages will be placed and the pain medications will be prescribed to relieve the discomfort during the first days of the postoperative period.

The scar left by this surgery is often minimal, but it is impossible to reassert everything on the edge without leaving a scar. However, it is very possible that time becomes less visible.

Most patients feel that the advantages of brachioplasty are so many that they outweigh the scars it leaves.

Minilifting is a good option when the patient needs a shorter treatment

The minilifting procedure is very similar to lifting, removing excess skin and fat to create a more pleasant and firm look to the arms. However, the difference is that in the minilifitng the incision is much smaller. In some cases, only a small scar is left near the armpits, where it is less visible.

It is usually the option for patients who have lost a weight of weight, with diet and exercises, but who has not achieved a solution in the gym.

Cases of massive weight loss, as in the case of bariatric surgery patients, will require traditional brachioplasty.
