상완성형술 Brachioplasty

[INTRODUCTION] Over recent years, body contouring procedures in postbariatric patients have been in exponentially growing demand resulting in high complication rates rendering a variety of ciphers in the literature. [OBJECTIVE] The purpose…

[INTRODUCTION] Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare, potentially fatal, infective complication that can occur after surgery. Diagnosis is still difficult and mainly based on clinical data. Only a prompt pharmacological and surgical therapy …

[BACKGROUND] Current brachioplasty techniques include excisional surgery alone or in combination with liposuction. These techniques are associated with poor outcomes, such as residual contour deformities and unfavorable scarring. [OBJECTIV…

Upper arm contouring is based on the location and amount of excess skin and fat. The short-scar brachioplasty addresses minimal to moderate skin laxity and lipodystrophy in the proximal arm in patients with appropriate skin tone and quality…

[BACKGROUND AND AIM] Persistent postsurgical pain (PPP) has been reported by patients following various surgeries. Body contouring procedures are being performed more frequently, but no data are available regarding the effects of these proc…

[BACKGROUND] Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is an effective approach for the treatment of morbid obesity. Surgically induced massive weight loss provokes skin deformities that can be addressed with plastic surgery. However, there is …

[UNLABELLED] Brachial ptosis is one of the consequences of massive weight loss. At an early stage, brachial ptosis can be corrected by liposuction, dermolipectomy and liposuction, or minibrachioplasty while the most advanced stage requires …

[BACKGROUND] Brachioplasty frequently offers functional benefits but results in poor aesthetic scars and a relatively high complication rate. The authors describe the complications and risk factors inherent in liposuction-assisted medial br…

[BACKGROUND] The ability to study population-level outcomes of outpatient cosmetic procedures has been limited by a lack of longitudinal data. This study aimed to describe the rates of adverse events in patients who underwent an isolated co…

[BACKGROUND] The literature has witnessed an evolution in brachioplasty technique since the procedure was introduced by Thorek in 1930. Aesthetic refinements in brachioplasty have been increasingly described in the literature, and this has …

This article contrasts the ideal appearance of the female upper arm, axilla, and upper midlateral chest with the sagging and/or oversized deformity. The constellation of postbrachioplasty aesthetic deformity is introduced. These aesthetic s…

[BACKGROUND] As the obese population increases in Korea, the number of patients who are trying to lose weight has been increasing steadily. In these patients, skin laxity and deformation of the body contour occurs, which could possibly be c…

[BACKGROUND] The impact of massive weight loss (MWL) on body contouring procedures and outcomes has not been firmly established in the literature. [OBJECTIVE] The authors investigate the correlations between MWL status, the method of achie…

[BACKGROUND] Popularity of arm-contouring procedures, once coveted by the massive weight loss population, has grown among society at large. The technique has evolved with the goal of producing a predictable and thin scar in a location that …

[BACKGROUND] The purpose of this study was to examine the incidence and predictors of surgical and medical morbidity following body contouring procedures. [METHODS] The authors reviewed the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Qu…

The evolution of barbed suture technologies and their application in the field of plastic surgery is now in its third decade. Much has been learned along the way. Initial excitement was often followed by disappointment as we learned more ab…

[LEARNING OBJECTIVES] After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. List patient selection factors for body lift surgery. 2. Describe operative approaches for brachioplasty, upper body lift, abdominoplasty, lower body l…

[BACKGROUNDS AND AIMS] Due to growing interest into body contouring has abdominoplasty become one of the most common aesthetic operations. New techniques have appeared to reduce the relatively high incidence of complications in abdominplast…
