Brachioplasty (arm lift)
Brachioplasty is a plastic surgical procedure aimed at removing excess skin and fat deposits in the upper arm area. The procedure is most often performed after significant weight loss or as a result of age-related changes, when the skin loses its tone and begins to sag. Surgery helps restore an aesthetically pleasing appearance of the arms, making them firmer and more proportionate.
When is brachioplasty indicated?
- Sagging skin in the upper arm area caused by age-related changes.
- After rapid or significant weight loss, when the skin has lost elasticity.
- Presence of excess fat tissue that does not respond to exercise.
- Physical or aesthetic discomfort caused by loose skin on the arms.
- Desire to improve the contour and appearance of the upper arms.
How is the procedure performed?
- Consultation with a surgeon – examination is performed and the surgical technique is selected.
- Anesthesia – general or local anesthesia is used, depending on the scope of surgery.
- Removal of excess skin and fat – the surgeon makes an incision along the inner surface of the arm.
- Formation of an aesthetic contour – the skin is tightened and underlying tissues are fixed.
- Suturing and rehabilitation – cosmetic sutures are applied and the patient wears compression garments.
Types of brachioplasty
- Classic brachioplasty – an incision is made along the inner surface of the arm.
- Mini-brachioplasty – suitable for patients with a small amount of excess skin.
- Combined lift – brachioplasty combined with liposuction.
- Endoscopic brachioplasty – a minimally invasive technique using small incisions.
Advantages of brachioplasty in Belarus
