A modest but significant correction in arm skin excess can be obtained with a brachioplasty that confines the scar to the armpit
when excess skin extends to the elbow, the excision must also extend to the elbow. These scars frequently thicken because of the tension of the closure, and we recommend silicone dressings to minimize scar hypertrophy.
Body contour procedures after major weight-loss require creativity, and customization to the patient's specific needs. In this case, we included a dermoilipectomy of the lateral chest to complete the improvement obtained with the brachioplasty.
