It is one of the body sculpting procedures that shape and contour the human body. People undergo this plastic surgery procedure when their skin in the arm area becomes loose due to natural aging or as a result of weight loss, especially desired by women after the age of 60. Brachioplasty is often performed in combination with liposuction.

In the case of non-absorbable sutures, they will be removed 10 to 14 days after the operation.Possible postoperative complications after Brachioplasty
