Brachioplasty – Patient 104

A woman in her early 60’s who has lost 65 lbs after at lap band procedure and is bothered by the appearance of her arms. She is shown before and again, 1 year after a bilateral brachioplasty. She had a posterior scar placement combined with power assisted liposuction of each arm. The posterior incision seems to allow for better tightening of the upper arm skin in patients with significant weight loss, but is visible from behind. The brachioplasty scars typically will continue to improve for 3 years. She is pleased with her early result, and can wear more clothing styles now.
