Arm lifting (brachioplasty)

Weight loss and weight loss in some cases is associated with a loss of skin firmness. The shoulder area is particularly vulnerable, where excess flabby skin is often visible. The arms also lose firmness due to changes in skin quality with age. In some, women accumulate excess fat in the shoulder area, in which case we can combine the procedure with liposuction to make the effect even better.

Shoulder plastics are performed under general anesthesia, and involve the removal of unnecessary skin from the shoulder area, resulting in firming of the area over time. To avoid the formation of a hematoma, drains are left under the skin at the site of the incisions after the procedure. They are removed, and the dressing is changed, during a follow-up visit to the clinic 2-3 days after the procedure.

Swelling and bruising may persist for several weeks after the procedure. During this time, sudden movements and physical exertion should be avoided.

FAQ

Answers to frequently asked questions about a variety of treatments and procedures.

How to make an appointment at Dr Szczyt Clinic?

You can schedule a visit by calling 22 654 90 60 or via the website under Consultation appointments.

How do you choose the right treatment at Dr Szczyt Clinic?

The best way to choose the right treatment at a plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine clinic is to start with a consultation with a specialist. During the visit, the doctor will conduct a detailed medical interview, familiarize themselves with the patient's expectations, and assess their health and the specific nature of the aesthetic problem. Based on this information, they will advise on which treatments will be appropriate to achieve the desired results. The consultation also allows you to discuss the available options, their potential effects, and any possible risks, which makes it easier to make an informed decision.

What are the risks associated with plastic surgery procedures?

Every plastic surgery procedure, like any medical intervention, involves certain risks. The most common complications include infections, bleeding, reactions to anesthesia, and scarring. Less common complications include blood clots, pulmonary embolism, and sensory disturbances in the operated area. Proper preparation of the patient, careful qualification for the procedure, and the experience and professionalism of the medical team significantly minimize these risks. It is also important to follow the doctor's recommendations in the postoperative period, which allows for a faster and safer recovery.

Are aesthetic medicine procedures painful?

Aesthetic medicine treatments are usually minimally invasive and involve minimal discomfort. Most of them, such as injections or laser therapy, are performed using local anesthetics, which significantly reduces discomfort. Patients may experience slight pricking, burning, or tightness of the skin, but these symptoms usually disappear quickly after the procedure. If necessary, the doctor will always select appropriate pain relief methods to ensure maximum comfort for patients.
