Brachioplasty
Brachioplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at improving the shape of the upper limbs by rejuvenating and tightening the skin on the arms. Sagging skin on the arms can be due to significant weight loss, heredity or the passage of time, leading to a loss of elasticity. By opting for brachioplasty, you can achieve a more youthful, firm and smooth arm contour, improving your appearance and self-confidence.

What should be done before surgery?
After taking a complete medical history, photographs of the area are taken and the indication of the surgical technique is determined. In general, it is recommended to stop smoking 4 weeks before and 2 weeks after the operation, thus reducing the chances of complications. Use of aspirin, anticoagulants and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen should be avoided preoperatively.
What happens during surgery?
The techniques of liposuction and elliptical removal of skin and subcutaneous tissue are combined. The length of the incision will depend on the degree of excess skin.
Anesthesia: General anesthesia
Duration: 2-3 hours
Stay: Up to 1 day
What happens after surgery?
After the operation, gauze is applied to the wound for about 2 weeks. It is necessary to wear compression garments for 4-6 weeks for the best healing. Exercise and weight lifting are allowed approximately 4 weeks after surgery. The scars will improve continuously and their final form will be seen in 9-12 months, but without completely disappearing. The final result of the operation is evaluated after six months, where even minor discomforts can be corrected with local anesthesia.
What are potential complications?
Possible complications, as in any surgery, exist but are limited in incidence. Some possible complications are: bleeding - hematoma, inflammation, opening of the wound, visible scar
