Brachioplasty in Iran

2. Brachioplasty Procedure in Iran

Brachioplasty surgery starts with use of either intravenous sedation and general anesthesia. Next, depending on the amount of skin and fat to be removed, the incisions are made on the inside of the arm or on the back of the arm. The incisions may also extend from the underarm (axilla) to just above the elbow. If necessary, liposuction can come as the next step to remove excess fat that has built up in the arm. At last, your surgeon will stich to wounds closed.

• Removing the excess fat inside your arm tissue

Brachioplasty Techniques

Standard incision Brachioplasty

Here, incisions are generally made on the inside of the arm or on the back of the arm, depending on your surgeon’s preference. In a standard Brachioplasty, the incisions do not extend into other parts such as the lower arms.

Extensive Brachioplasty

An “extended Brachioplasty” is a type of arm lift that is extended to the lateral chest and breasts. The procedure can also include the lower parts of the arm. This technique can be more inclusive than a standard Brachioplasty; making it a better choice for those with sagging skin in their chest and breasts. The procedure can also help prevent the lateralization of the breasts (breast mounds that have fallen out of their desired position).

Am I a good candidate for Brachioplasty?

To see if you are a good Brachioplasty candidate you need to meet certain requirements. Under the following conditions you generally prove fit for a Brachioplasty surgery:

• Unwanted fat in the arm area
• Your skin has gone saggy and loose in the arm area
• You are near your ideal BMI
• Expecting realistic results
• Staying in good physical health without heart disease, and lung or kidney problems
• Being ready to follow a certain lifestyle and following some instruction during your Brachioplasty recovery

On the other hand, you might not be a Brachioplasty fit candidate in the following cases:

• Unrealistic expectation from your Brachioplasty results
• Being from your ideal BMI
• Diabetes
• Lack of patience for the preparation and recovery period
• Health conditions such as heart disease, and lung or kidney problems

Preparing for Brachioplasty

As a surgical operation comes with risk, it is recommended that you follow a certain lifestyle before your procedure to pass a safest surgery. This can also help you gain best results out of your procedure. The following list gives you an overall view of the instructions that you should follow before having you Brachioplasty:

• Keep a healthy diet, full of mineral and necessary vitamins for at least 1 month prior to your treatment
• Getting enough hydration is important month before the procedure
• Try to be near your BMI by the time of your surgery
• Avoid smoking and drinking for a minimum of 2 weeks
• To help improve scarring, it is recommended that you stay away from prolonged sun exposure for two pre-op weeks

Arm Lift options

If you are thinking about the alternative procedures that you might take instead of a Brachioplasty, then look at the following list.

• Surgical:

Arm Liposuction

An arm liposuction can help reduce the excess fat pockets accumulated inside your arm tissue. By doing this, the procedure can create a better-looking profile in your arms. Your surgeon may also combine liposuction with an arm lift to bring both skin tightening and fat removal at the same time.

Upper body lift

This procedure is an inclusive choice to treat loose skin on your chest, upper back, breasts, arms, and also your belly. If necessary, the surgery can also remove extra fat pockets from the tissues. Combining upper body lift and Brachioplasty is also a good choice if you have loose skin elsewhere. These parts may include your chest, back, and even your belly.

• Non-surgical:

Laser skin tightening

Laser skin tightening is a minimally invasive that usually works by heating the skin, which stimulates the collagen production. This will, in turn, create a tighter and more rejuvenated skin profile.

Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive alternative that works by inserting small sterilized needles into the skin. This makes small wounds that cause your body to produce more collagen and elastin. As collagen is a repairing agent, it can help improve typical signs of ageing. Micronnedling may also be perfomed on upper and lower arm area.

Thermage

Thermage is a nonsurgical alternative that uses radiofrequency (RF) to help tighten and smooth skin. The main mechanism used in Thermage is by promoting new collagen production. RF waves produce heat into the skin that treats outer skin and then extends inward. The procedure may also target the arm area.

VASER Liposelection

VASERlipo® is a non-invasive body contouring choice that utilizes ultrasound energy to reduce fat accumulated in tissues. During the procedure, the ultrasound energy targets the fat cells to destroy them. Next, the fat pockets are removed from the body using a gentle suction process. This leaves surrounding tissues intact, while creating a thinner and better-looking contour in the area. This procedure can bring great results with less pain and less downtime than liposuction.

Lipodissolve

Lipodissolve or mesotherapy uses injections of medications that can melt away the localized fat deposits. phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate are two regular types of meds used in this procedure.

Massage therapy

Messaging can also be a non-surgical remedy that can be of help in improving the profile of your arm skin. However, messaging can only create subtle improvement and is thus not a solution for people who have much saggy skin in their arms.

Arm sculpting

CoolSculpting for the upper arms is a noninvasive fat reduction alternative that involves no incisions. It works by cooling subcutaneous fat to the point that the fat cells are destroyed. The fat pockets can then be absorbed by the body and consequently removed. It is important to note that this procedure does not create tightening effect on the arms.
