Stretching of the skin of the upper arms

Upper arm skin tightening is performed to improve the aesthetic appearance of the upper arm area, to remove excess skin and fatty layer.

Upper arm plastic surgery is performed to remove sagging tissue and skin from the upper arm that results from weight changes, low skin elasticity, aging, or heredity, and the condition cannot be corrected by exercise. The most effective way to beautify the contours of the upper arms and armpits, to give the hands an aesthetic look and a youthful contour is plastic correction.

During upper arm plastic surgery, excess hanging skin in the upper arm area is reduced, the main supporting tissue is tightened and smoothed while forming the shape of the upper arm, and excess fat accumulated in the upper arm is removed. The incisions are made in such a way that they are as little noticeable as possible, and the scar remains on the inside so that it is not visible. When correcting the upper arm, the scar can be seen by turning the arms to the sides or raising them up.

The skin is removed together with the subcutaneous tissue, for contouring - the excess fat is suctioned. The incisions are quite long - from the elbow to the armpit, and in the armpit.

How is the operation performed?

Upper arm skin tightening is performed under general anesthesia and lasts 2-3 hours. During the operation, excess loose skin is removed. Incisions are usually made along the limb in an effort to minimize the post-operative scar.

The incision is made in the inner-dorsal area of ​​the upper arm. The postoperative scar is only noticeable when the arm is raised or bent to the side. During the operation, the excess of hanging skin in the upper arms is reduced, the main supporting tissue is tightened and smoothed while forming the shape of the upper arm, and the excess fatty tissue accumulated in the upper arm is removed. After the operation, patients are happy with the reduction of excess skin on the hands, increased self-confidence, the ability to wear short-sleeved clothes and be satisfied with it.

Skin tightening surgery can be combined with liposuction. Since fat cells do not grow back in the suctioned areas, even as the patient gains weight, new fat accumulates evenly throughout the body.

Postoperative care and healing

• A smoother, firmer contour of the hands is noticeable immediately after the operations;
• A small, thin scar will remain at the site of the incision, which begins to fade after 8-12 weeks after the operation and then becomes very little visible;
• Post-operative scars should be protected from direct sunlight for at least half a year. The results of a brachioplasty are long-lasting, but they largely depend on the patient's lifestyle, diet and physical activity;
• You need to be careful during the healing period - two weeks after the operation, you should not smoke, as smoking negatively affects blood circulation, which may impair wound healing;
• It is necessary to avoid physical exertion, active leisure time, not to do sports;
• Surgery is risky in patients with diabetes and other co-morbidities - there is a greater risk of poorer healing;
• After the operation, a special compression garment must be worn for 6-8 weeks, and bandages must be applied every 2-3 days;
• Threads, if non-dissolving ones are used, are removed after 2 weeks;
• After the operation, to achieve the maximum result, an individual course of lymphatic drainage massage is recommended.
