Fluctuations in weight and reduced elasticity caused by aging are the main cause of "skin relaxation" in the upper arms.
Skin relaxation in the upper arm, is impossible to tighten substantially without surgery. Brachioplasty is the surgical procedure which removes dermo subcutaneous tissue that has sagged. The choice in different types of incisions depends on the severity of the excess skin. The goal is always reduce the number of incisions, and to keep the anatomy of the arm fully functional and as uniformly shaped as possible.
In most cases, the well-hidden classic inverted T incision is enough to achieve the aesthetic result. In others, the bottom part of the T must descend below the middle of the arm. In any case, this procedure requires special postoperative care to ensure the incision remains as inconspicuous thin line.
Dr. Elena Tzamantaki chooses to combine surgical tightening techniques including the Renuvion by Apyx, during the surgery, which allows her to minimize incisions. The Renuvion uses Plasma technology with helium gas causing spectacular tissue shrinkage at the time of surgery. In many cases, Dr. Tzamantaki uses only a horizontal incision which is extremely well hidden inside the axillary cavity.
Brachioplasty is a challenging operation for the plastic surgeon. The combination of surgical techniques including Vaser Lipo and Renuvion take advantage of the world’s top cutting-edge Technologies to yield excellent postoperative results. Incisions are reduced to a minimum and shape is maintained as it should. The firmness and restoration of elasticity in the following months after surgery with the use of Renuvion is spectacular as it continues to force the body to produce new collagen and elastin. The result of this regeneration is completed in 9 months. The result of using two leading edge machines at the time of surgery dramatically changes and the result.
