    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Aesthetic Surgery
    • Body Contouring

    Background:

    • Arm obesity and ptosis are common aesthetic concerns.
    • Existing surgical techniques may have limitations in scar appearance or effectiveness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel surgical technique for correcting arm obesity and/or ptosis.
    • To describe the steps involved in the advancement flap and T-shaped closure.
    • To outline post-operative care for scar management.

    Main Methods:

    • A lower quadrangular advancement flap is raised.
    • The upper wound margin is slid downward.
    • Excess flap tissue is excised, followed by a T-shaped closure.
    • Continuous use of a compressive elastic bandage for 3 months is recommended.

    Main Results:

    • The described technique effectively addresses excess arm skin and fat.
    • The T-shaped closure aims for aesthetically acceptable scarring.
    • Post-operative bandaging aids in scar maturation and prevents hypertrophy.

    Conclusions:

    • This surgical approach offers a viable solution for arm contouring.
    • Proper surgical technique and post-operative care are crucial for optimal outcomes.
    • The method aims to improve patient satisfaction by correcting aesthetic deformities of the arms.
