How is brachioplasty performed?
Brachioplasty is performed under general anesthesia. The procedure involves making an incision within the armpit and/or along the inner side of the upper arm, followed by the removal of excess skin and fat tissue. The results are immediately visible, with full effect achieved once swelling and bruising subside.
Recovery after brachioplasty?
After surgery, patients can expect mild pain, swelling, and bruising that reduce over several weeks. Stitches are removed between the 10th and 14th day. Recovery involves wearing a special compression garment and limiting physical activity for 4-6 weeks.
Risks after brachioplasty?
As with any operation, there are risks of an allergic reaction to anesthesia, bleeding and infection, but they are minimized when they are performed in a completely sterile room and when the procedure is performed strictly according to the protocol by an experienced surgeon.
