If there is local fat as well as skin slackening then it is necessary to remove skin and fat from the upper arm, making an incision from the elbow to the armpit. The incisions limited only to area of the armpit are, in most cases, ineffective and are indicated only in very small slackening near the armpit.<\/p>\n

All sutures after a brachioplasty surgery are absorbable. There are no drainage tubes used. Immediately after surgery, the patient wears a compressive garment from the elbow up to the armpit for 3 weeks.<\/p>\n
