Brachioplasty

Who is a Candidate for Brachioplasty? With age and possible weight changes, many people develop excess skin and loose tissue under their upper arms (“bat wings”). This can be socially embarrassing and make fitting clothes difficult. Brachioplasty surgery is for otherwise healthy individuals looking to improve the contour of their upper arms and who are willing to accept the resulting surgical scar.

Planned Results: Improved contour and appearance of the upper arms.

Procedure Description: Brachioplasty is completed under general anaesthetic as a day surgery. You will require an adult to drive you home and stay with you overnight. Private nursing care can be arranged through U Cosmetic if necessary.

Incisions will be marked out along the inside surface of your upper arm up into your axilla (armpit). The excess skin and tissue will be excised and the incisions will be closed with dissolving, internal stitches. Liposuction may need to be completed at the same time in order to achieve optimal results.

Recuperation and Healing: You can expect some discomfort, swelling and bruising. You will be sent home with prescription medications to keep you comfortable. You will be required to wear a special garment following the surgery for 4 weeks and this will be provided by U Cosmetic. Kelocote scar gel is recommended to optimize scar healing and protecting the scars from the sun is extremely important. You are encouraged to return to your usual daily activities as soon as possible, Avoid any activities that increase your blood pressure for 48 hours and avoid heavy lifting or arm workouts for 4 weeks following the surgery.

Notes: Liposuction often improves the results of the surgery. All potential complications of the surgery will be discussed with you at your consultation.
