[The posteromedial brachioplasty.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Brachial dermolipectomy, which has been performed for several decades, became more frequent again with the advent of bariatric surgery. However, brachioplasty still raises the problem of its scars, necessary mostly in the longitudinal axis. Most of the described techniques are with a medial scar. The author's purpose is to show, with a five years follow-up, the reasons of its choice of a postero-medial scar: ease of installation of both arms in the same operative field, the better scar quality than in the medial localization and finally because it is comparatively the least visible under several incidences: not only an...

Intralesional Cryosurgery for the Treatment of Hypertrophic Scars and Keloids Following Aesthetic Surgery: The Results of a Prospective Observational StudyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of this technology in the treatment of such scars and to assess the reduction of dissatisfaction. Eleven scars (on 11 patients) were treated by intralesional cryosurgery, following breast surgery, otoplasty, face-lifting, and brachioplasty. Each patient scored the concern from the scar and the scar deformity (scale from 1 to 5) prior and following treatment (higher score represents least satisfaction and a severe deformity). The follow-up period was between 3 months and 8 years. The results demonstrated a significant reduction in concern and deformity scores compared with be...

L brachioplasty correction of excess tissue of the upper arm, axilla, and lateral chest.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Following massive weight loss, patients evolve severe arm deformity, extending through the axilla and on to the chest. The L brachioplasty was developed to treat the entire deformity through the excision of two unequal ellipses at right angles in the form of an "L." More than 50 patients have been treated since 2002 with esthetic reshaping of the upper arm, leaving inconspicuous scars and only minor complications. There have been eight scar revisions, including two Z-plasties for contracture. The rationale and results compare favorably with contemporary techniques. L brachioplasty is our procedure of choice for the pat...

Brachioplasty in the massive weight loss patient.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The arm deformity encountered in most patients who have had massive weight loss is severe. The excess crosses the axilla as an extension of the posterior axillary fold. Surgical treatment requires crossing the axilla with the excision. The authors describe a surgical technique that they have found to be powerful and effective. The position of the final scar is on the posterior aspect of the arm and is more hidden when the person is animating. PMID: 18061808 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Clinics in Plastic Surgery)

Brachioplasty After Massive Weight Loss: A Simple Algorithm for Surgical PlaneEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract??After massive weight loss, patients experience a severe skin laxity of the arms with or without associated fat deposits. More than 20 years elapsed after the first aesthetic brachioplasty in 1954 before this problem was addressed with significant technical innovation. The current brachioplasty techniques are somewhat unpredictable and commonly associated with significant untoward results and complications including misplaced, widened, or hypertrophic scars as well as contour deformities resulting from overcorrection centrally and underresection. The authors define preoperative marking that permits reduction of ov...

'Fish-incision' brachioplasty.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We describe a surgical approach using careful mathematical measurements of the deformity that allows the preoperative marking of the incision in the shape of a fish. This incision is specially designed to offset the problems routinely faced in brachioplasty. Mathematical measurements, anatomic marking and conduct of the operation have been described in detail. The 'fish-incision' brachioplasty provides a usable, simple method that is easy to follow and optimises aesthetic results.

Body contouring following massive weight loss resulting from bariatric surgery.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A sharp increase in bariatric surgery has resulted in spike in the population of patients seeking body-contouring procedures. Skin and soft tissue redundancy of the trunk, buttocks, breasts, upper arms, and thighs following massive weight loss is unsightly and results in medical problems such as musculoskeletal strain from increased tissue weight, intertrigo or functional limitation with walking, maintaining adequate hygiene, bowel and bladder habits and sexual activity. These elements compound the inherent psychosocial issues related to massive weight loss. Using time-tested plastic surgical techniques, several operat...
