Aesthetics of the arm (arm lengthening)
The sagging of the skin on the arm generally begins to appear after a certain age. When the arms are kept parallel to the ground, the excess skin containing soft fatty tissue that hangs down is far from youthful looking.
After the procedure, you may notice a tighter arm even through clothing.
Before the surgery
In particular, chronic diseases and anticoagulants, drugs and smoking are questioned. People who need to apply this method should generally have completed arm development and body development in the middle age group. Draw in front of the mirror while your hands are parallel to the ground.
Operation
The surgery can be performed under local, sedative or general anesthesia. It is a short and effective intervention that takes about half an hour depending on the drawings. Although there are no scars left, local anesthesia may be preferred for people who do not have excess skin. Thanks to the local anesthesia applied before the procedure, there is no pain in the early postoperative period. If there is excess skin, even some skin should be surgically removed, after this procedure, a flat white scar remains in the area of the arm that touches the body, extending from the elbow to the armpit. No postoperative pain is expected, a brace is worn.
