Arm Lift/Brachioplasty #50470

This is a brachioplasty case for a 60-year-old woman, performed by Dr. Emily Wirtz using an avulsion technique. With avulsion brachioplasty, excess skin along the inner upper arm is removed by separating it from the underlying tissue in a way that allows preservation of deep structures. The after photo is taken at one month post-op. You can see the arm's contour has changed noticeably at this early stage, with the scar visible near the axillary region as it continues to mature. Healing at one month is still ongoing, so the scar's final appearance will continue to change over time. Shown with the patient's written consent.
