Brachioplasty (Arm Surgery)

Arm Surgery (Brachioplasty)

Introduction
Brachioplasty improves the appearance of the arms by removing excess skin and fat between the armpit and the elbow.

Types of Brachioplasty
Simple Brachioplasty: For younger patients with minimal inner arm laxity, performed under local anesthesia with nearly invisible scars.

Extended Axillary and Thoracic Brachioplasty: For older patients with “pendulous arms,” extending to the thoracic and submammary areas, using a T-shaped incision with internal scars.

Recovery
The recovery process generally ranges from 14 to 21 days. The scar is located on the inner side of the arm.
