    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Arm ptosis (drooping) is a common aesthetic concern.
    • Existing brachioplasty techniques often involve significant skin excision and scarring.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a new brachioplasty technique for correcting arm ptosis.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of this flap-based approach without skin excision.

    Main Methods:

    • A deepithelialized flap is rolled from the posterior arm.
    • The flap is advanced and slid under the anterior arm skin.
    • The technique aims to restore arm roundness and improve consistency.

    Main Results:

    • The technique was applied to 12 patients with follow-up from 8 months to 4 years.

  • No postoperative edema was observed.
  • One patient experienced transient hyperesthesia for 2 months.

    • Conclusions:

    • This flap-based brachioplasty technique offers a potential solution for arm ptosis correction without excision.
    • Patient selection is crucial, emphasizing awareness of potential scar sequelae and healing complications.
