Brachioplasty

What is Brachioplasty?

Brachioplasty is a reconstructive surgery technique that removes the pocket from the inner side of the arm.

A large weight loss can cause a flap on the inside of the arm that is uncomfortable, causes exaggerated sweating and discomfort in the armpit and even choosers. In addition it can suppose a psychological scourge for the patient, by the great visibility of this zone in certain seasons of the year. Brachioplasty can be very convenient in these cases.

Why have brachioplasty surgery with us?

Brachioplasty is a safe and simple procedure, although its main challenge is to leave a scar that is as inconspicuous as possible. The deformity after a major obesity can be noticeable, and is a challenge for the plastic surgeon. A wide excision can leave a long scar, which can also become stagnant over time due to tension.
It requires thorough technical knowledge and experience to allow for stress-free surgery that promotes perfect healing. Dr. Ramón Canet, collaborator of Clinicas Obésitas, is a specialist with enormous experience and great technical training, as well as human quality.
