Professor Ben Miranda perfoms brachioplasty or arm lift cosmetic surgery in London and Essex. Brachioplasty is a cosmetic surgery operation that removes the excess or loose skin on the upper arms that often affects patients who have lost a significant amount of weight; in more extensive cases it may be beneficial to combine a brachioplasty with liposuction to cosmetically improve the arm contour further and the scar may extend from the armpit, along the inner arm down to the elbow. ollowing your surgery you may need to wear a well fitted compression garment to help maintain your post-operative shape while you are healing.
You can return to light exerd cosmetic surgery may include infection, bleeding, wound breakdown (higherd risk if you have a BMI>28 and smoke), scarring (hypertrophic / keloid / stretched scar), nerve damage (this can result in altered sensation), asymmetry or a cosmetic surgery outcome that is not what you had expected and a requirement for further surgery.
