It is the operation that treats the relaxation in the arms (arms). Sagging is due to either large weight loss or age.
In any case the impact on the patient is significant as he feels bad when raising his arms for simple movements such as greeting someone from a distance, or avoids clothes without long sleeves.
This problem is treated with brachioplasty, which removes excess skin. It is combined with liposuction in cases where we also have fat in the area and want a more shapely arm.
Technique: The doctor will assess the problem and suggest the best solution for your problem. The necessary tests will be done and the pre-operative photos will be taken.
Depending on the size of the problem, the operation can be done with local anesthesia and with intoxication or with general anesthesia. Rarely does the patient need to stay in the hospital for more than a few hours.
Depending on the size and extent of the problem, the incision will be extended to the elbow or limited to the armpit in a Y shape. Absorbable sutures are placed and the arms are bandaged or a special corset-sleeve is placed for 15 days. The result is spectacular with a significant improvement in the appearance of the arms and immediate and long-term satisfaction of the patient.
