Accumulation of fat and skin flaccidity in the Arm

It is called brachial deformity or brachial adiposity. It is accentuated when the patient opens her arms and waves (fat / flabby “bye-bye”), causing an anti-aesthetic formation.

What technique is used for this type of case?

The operation consists of removing a segment of skin with more fat from the back of the arm. This operation can be done with local anesthesia. There will always be a linear scar on the back of the arm, which extends from the armpit to the elbow. In some cases there is the possibility of liposuction with a small removal of the skin, with a less apparent and smaller scar.
