Although significant innovations in brachioplasty occurred in the 1970s, it remains an unpopular procedure. Current brachioplasty techniques are somewhat unpredictable and are commonly associated with significant untoward results. Recent an…

A new brachioplasty technique is proposed, designed to correct ptosis without excision. It is based on rolling a de-epithelialised flap around from behind and sliding it underneath the anterior margin of the incision of the arm, recreating …

Body contouring for patients who have experienced massive weight loss requires multiple and extensive operations. A one-stage operative procedure was performed on 10 patients who have been followed for at least 18 months postoperatively. Co…

Body contour surgery for the patient who has experienced massive weight loss requires extensive and multiple operations. Any means of reducing the number of such procedures while obtaining optimal results would be most beneficial to both su…

Body contouring surgery is a routine procedure used to improve the aesthetic aspect of the trunk and may be performed in one or more surgical stages. It may involve the abdomen, breasts, flanks, lumbar area, buttocks, trochanter, upper arms…

Brachioplasty can be a satisfactory means of removing excess fat and skin from the upper extremity after moderate to massive weight loss. However, patients must be well informed preoperatively of the scars that are to be expected. The proce…

This practical review critically evaluates the evidence behind the widespread use of postoperative compression therapy intended to improve surgical outcomes, such as reduced edema, ecchymosis, pain, and seroma formation. A literature search…

[BACKGROUND] Aesthetic procedures are among the most common surgeries performed by plastic surgeons. The prevalence of persistent pain remains unknown and underappreciated in the plastic surgery literature. [OBJECTIVES] The purpose of this…

[BACKGROUND] Brachioplasty in the post-bariatric patient deserves special attention since a not negligible number of wound complications is reported in the literature. In this study, the authors present unique risk factors for wound dehisce…

The intercostobrachial nerve (ICBN) originates from the second intercostal nerve's lateral cutaneous branch, while the median nerve (MN) typically arises from the brachial plexus's lateral and medial roots. The medial cutaneous nerve of the…

[INTRODUCTION] The need of iterative surgeries, the proximity of two anatomical areas, the combination of an aesthetic surgery with a surgery covered by health insurance are the reasons which motivated the authors to provide a simultaneous …

[UNLABELLED] Postbariatric surgery, either by itself or in association with other procedures, tries to correct physical defects and body deformities. Because of the intrinsic complexity of massive weight loss (MWL) patients, more than a sin…

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…

[BACKGROUND] The escalating trend in obesity is having major impact on health and the economy. As a result of NHS policies to reduce obesity, the number of patients losing weight following bariatric surgery is increasing rapidly. In additio…

[BACKGROUND] From Nov 2001 to Mar 2006, 176 patients underwent body contouring plastic surgery after prior biliopancreatic diversion (BPD). Weight loss had varied from 30-100 kg. The plastic surgery targeted the arms (24 patients), breast (…

[BACKGROUND] Obesity and its associated medical morbidities carry substantial health risk. While massive weight loss allows improvement in health status and lifestyle, physical sequelae due to symptomatic skin redundancy still require treat…

Plastic surgery includes both reconstructive and aesthetic procedures, with residency programs designed to provide comprehensive training. However, practical experience in aesthetic surgeries is often limited because these procedures are no…

[INTRODUCTION] The lateral tension upper body lift (Zip-Shark) is mainly used in patients after massive weight loss, predominantly as a second or third stage in a body contouring plan. This technique is a surgical procedure aimed at removin…

[BACKGROUND] A wide variety of brachioplasty approaches and modifications have been described to make the procedure safer and more appealing to patients and surgeons alike. There is, however, no consensus on the most appropriate surgical ap…
