This type of surgery helps to improve the aesthetics of the arms, intended for those cases in which there is excess flaccidity, leading to smoother and more beautiful arms. It is also employed in cases where significant weight has been lost and the skin of the arm has become loose.
With this procedure,excess skin is removed from the inner area of the arms, leaving a small scar in the axillary region that is barely visible. The procedure can last between an hour and a half to two hours, requiring general anesthesia and one night of hospitalization.
The results are well-defined arms, without hanging flaps or surplus skin.
The postoperative period is not very bothersome, and social and work life can be resumed ten days after the procedure, as long as the activity to be performed so allows.
