The Brachioplasty Procedure and Pre-Operative Care

1. Detailed Consultation

Before proceeding with brachioplasty surgery, a comprehensive assessment is performed. Your surgeon evaluates the amount of excess fat, the degree of skin laxity, muscle tone, and your overall health.

Step-by-Step Brachioplasty Procedure

2. Pre-Surgical Markings

Precise markings ensure that arm fat surgery and arm reduction achieve balanced and symmetrical results.

3. Administration of Anaesthesia

Depending on the case, general or local anaesthesia is used to ensure comfort during arm tuck and flabby arm surgery.

4. Strategic Incision Placement

During arm surgery, incisions are typically made along the inner arm to keep scars discreet. The length depends on the extent of excess skin.

5. Fat Removal (If Needed)

When stubborn fat is present, liposuction is used in conjunction with bat wing surgery.

6. Removal of Excess Skin

This is the defining stage of Brachioplasty. Loose skin is removed to restore firmness.

7. Tightening of Supportive Tissues

Internal sutures reshape the underlying structure during brachioplasty surgery.

8. Closing the Skin

Fine sutures are used, and the arms are wrapped to minimise swelling.

9. Recovery Monitoring

Patients recover in a monitored environment after arm reduction or arm fat surgery.

To prepare for Brachioplasty or arm tuck, follow these steps:
