Get rid of sugging and loose skin under the arm after an Arm Lift Surgery.
How it works
In the brachinoplasty, the loose skin is removed in the arm area through a section that is hidden in the armpit area. In cases where there is great relaxation, the incision may extend along the inner surface of the arm from the armpit to the elbow. The length of the incision will depend on the degree of excess skin. This surgery gives an excellent result in the shape of the arm, leaving a scar that will take about twelve (12) months to weaken.
Why Choose the Brachioplasty Intervention?
Brachinoplasty is performed to treat the relaxation and fall of the skin seen in the arms. This relaxation can occur due to weight loss usually over 15-20 kg due to age or end due to decreased skin tightening after liposuction in the area.
PRE-TREATMENT PREPARATION
A complete medical history should be taken before each surgery. As a precautionary measure, doctors without prescription or herbal products / drugs should not be taken before surgery and for 3 days afterwards. Also, strict non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as salospir, ibuprofen (Nurofen), diclofenac and any other anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy should always be avoided, always with the treating physician. It would also be very helpful to bring a list of any prescription medicines you receive for your preoperative control..
If you are a smoker try to quit smoking at least six weeks before and after a surgery, as this will dramatically reduce the chance of post-operative complications.

Technique
Open Brow Lift
This classic technique involves removing the excess skin behind the hairline when it is pulled up. Although this technique has excellent results, it is considered obsolete as it has a longer recovery and recovery time and leaves a big scar that is still hidden inside the hair. Certainly, there are still specific indications of its use, which will be discussed with Mr. Benetato during your session.
Endoscopic Brow Lift
Endoscopic Forehead Recovery is also the state-of-the-art technique. Small holes are used on the skin ("keyhole surgery") behind the hair line, through which a surgery is performed with the help of an endoscope. The area of the forehead is raised and retained with special sutures while the skin and underlying hanging tissues heal.

Recovery
Your wound will be checked on the second and fifth postoperative day and again next week, month, quarter, semester, and year after your intervention by Konstantinos Benetatos. There will be no extra charge for any monitoring associated with your surgery.
Although the results of the surgery will be immediately apparent, you will still see further improvement in the area in the first three months.
People differ in recovery time and this depends on the area being treated, however, the recovery interval given to patients is from ten to fourteen (10-14) days. Most patients feel comfortable from the first week and have a feeling of mild anxiety rather than pain. Patients usually feel able to walk a good distance within three days, and swim mildly in three weeks while vigorous exercise (aerobic exercise, etc.) should be avoided for three weeks. Finally sports requiring physical contact should be avoided for eight weeks.
Patients should avoid driving until they are completely relieved of pain and restraint so they are perfectly able to make a sudden movement, such as direct braking, without hindrance and without pain. This is suggested for patients to secure their coverage by their insurance company. It may take up to three weeks to fully recover.

Possible Complications
Brachinoplasty is a routine surgery that is crowned with absolute success for the overwhelming majority of patients. However, as with any surgery, it is very important to understand that there is a possibility of complications. Any complications that may arise are listed below.
Low degree of asymmetry. Although the same procedure will be performed on both sides, the effects of the intervention may be slightly different on both sides. The quality of scars varies among patients. There may be a hypoaesthesia in the area that usually subsides after the first few weeks. Their appearance is usually very light, however in some cases it may be heavier.
General Risks of Brachioplasty
Ρespiratory tract infections and thrombosis in the foot or lung (DVT or PE). Although it is rare to appear, it is important to avoid it by not smoking, not being overweight and as long as possible after the surgery.
