The
Procedure |
-
Anesthesia is usually a very light general and the
procedure takes about two hours.
-
There
may be no incisions if Liposuction alone is all that is
needed.
-
Otherwise the incision may be completely concealed within
the Armpit, or down the inside of the Arm in an
inconspicuous location for a variable length depending on
how much skin and where the excess is.
-
Results may be obtained from Liposuction alone if the skin
has good elasticity.
-
If
there is excess skin, then incisions are needed to lift
the skin, tighten the Arms, remove the excess fat, and
tighten the Arm ligaments to provide extra internal
support.
-
Drains
are used for two days. These are soft and comfortable and
removed without pain.
-
Dressings and a light compression garment is used for
several days.
-
This
can be combined with other Plastic Surgical procedures.
