Ideal candidates for brachioplasty are those who have experienced significant weight loss or have sagging arms due to aging. They should maintain a stable weight and be in good physical health. The evaluation of a certified cosmetic surgeon is essential to determine the suitability for brachioplasty.
Brachioplasty does not specifically focus on correcting stretch marks, as its main goal is to address skin sagging in the arms. While removing excess skin during this procedure can have a positive side effect in reducing the appearance of stretch marks in the treated area, it does not eliminate existing stretch marks or directly address skin texture.
Yes, brachioplasty surgery leaves a scar that is located on the inner part of the arm, where it is barely visible. However, it is important to note that the extent of the scar will depend on the amount of skin removed during the procedure.
The medications are analgesics and antibiotics.
The risks and potential complications associated with brachioplasty include bleeding, hematoma, seroma, healing difficulties, risk of infection, potential damage to nearby nerves, pain, and temporary alterations in sensitivity.
