Sagging is always a source of discomfort to any woman, even men. It occurs mainly when the skin has some excess in relation to the content it involves. This often occurs after pregnancy or weight loss. It can also occur over the years, with thinning of the skin and loss of elasticity.
Because the skin on the arm is very thin, especially on the inside, the sagging of the arms often occurs with age or after weight loss. The excess of skin in the place causes the movement to occur a pendulum movement, the famous? Sign of the goodbye? ? feared by women.
Often the excess and sagging skin accompanies a local fat accumulation. The correction by plastic surgery aims to remove excess skin and / or fat.
Brachioplasty or dermolipectomy of the arm is plastic surgery that removes a skin spindle where there is excess. If small, rare cases indeed, the spindle can be done only in the armpit. However, in most cases, the excess skin affects the arm to the elbow, and more skin must be removed and the scar becomes larger, extending almost to the elbow.
Liposuction may be associated with dermolipectomy of the arms where fat is accumulating. Firstly, liposuction is performed, so that after the removal of fat the skin becomes even more sagging. In the same surgery, the skin is removed afterwards.
The surgery is usually done with local anesthesia and sedation, with same-day discharge. Recovery is not usually painful. Lymphatic drainage and ultrasound are important postoperatively. It is common for the scar to be reddened for almost a year and may widen a little. Since plastic surgery is the exchange of a shape for a scar, I believe that brachyplasty is well indicated in cases where the sagging is intense and generates a great inconvenience to the patient, to the point of being worth this exchange.
