Liposuction-Assisted Short-Scar Brachioplasty: Technical Highlights

Area of Science:

• Plastic Surgery
• Aesthetic Surgery

Background:

• Upper arm contouring addresses excess skin and fat.
• Short-scar brachioplasty is suitable for minimal to moderate skin laxity and lipodystrophy.

Purpose of the Study:

• To highlight technical refinements for short-scar medial liposuction-assisted brachioplasty.
• To maximize aesthetic results while minimizing incision length.

Main Methods:

• Focuses on the senior author's (R.J.R.) refined approach.
• Incorporates medial liposuction-assisted brachioplasty.
• Details patient examination, preoperative assessment, and surgical pearls.

Main Results:

• Achieves optimal outcomes with reduced incision length.
• Demonstrates a simple and safe surgical approach.
• Reports high patient and surgeon satisfaction.

Conclusions:

• The refined short-scar brachioplasty technique is effective for upper arm contouring.
• This method balances aesthetic improvement with minimal scarring.
• The approach offers high satisfaction for both patients and surgeons.
