Brachioplasty Before & After Case 56

This patient is a very pleasant woman in her mid 50's who had lost a significant amount of weight. She was bothered by the 'bat wing' appearance of her arm skin, and requested a brachioplasty (arm lift) procedure. Because of the amount of skin excess, with extension onto her torso, I performed with surgery with a 'z-plasty' in the axilla to avoid scar tethering. (Please excuse the differences in photo technique - these were before I decided on my standardization.) She was extremely happy with the results of the surgery, and now feels comfortable wearing sleeveless dresses.
