The procedure:
Step one – The initial consultation and physical exam to customize your procedure.
Step two – General anesthesia or intravenous sedation.
Step three – Depending on the pattern and location of the loose skin, the incisions will vary.
Generally there are three incision patterns:
– Inner arm incision (armpit to elbow)
– Back of arm incision (below armpit along back of the arm to elbow)
– Minimal incision (across the armpit)
Step four – Internal sutures are used to fix, tighten and reshape the underlying supportive
tissue in place.
Step five – Incisions are sutured shut and removed within one to two weeks of the procedure.
Compression garments may be applied to contain swelling and shape.
