Brachioplasty Surgery
During treatment, an incision is made that typically runs from the elbow to the armpit. Excess skin, fat, and tissue is then removed. Although some scarring will always be visible, the surgeon will place the scar in the most inconspicuous location, which is on the inner arm toward the back. 手术后, the upper arms are wrapped or placed into a compression sleeve to help reduce the postoperative swelling.
An additional procedure that may be recommended by your surgeon is 抽脂术 of the upper arms and armpits. For some patients with good skin quality, 抽脂术 alone may meet their needs. This procedure can be used to decrease the bulk of excess fat along the lower border of the upper arm. 安排一个 virtual consultation with our surgeons to discuss the best treatment options for you.
