I am doing saline packing on the small wound but is there anything else to speed the healing? Also why are the compression garments worn for 6 wks plus. Thanks in advance
Unfortunately it is not too uncommon to have some small areas with delayed healing after a brachioplasty. The skin quality in this area is unique. It will take several weeks to heal but it will heal well. A scar revision may or may not be necessary depending upon the result at 6 months to one year.
What is a brachioplasty? Somebody was talking about it on this site, and I don't know what it means.
Brachioplasty is the term used to describe an arm lift. The procedure is used when one develops loose skin in the upper arms, sometimes also referred to as "bat wings". From El Paso, Las Cruces, New Mexico.
I gather that the incision for a brachioplasty can be on the inner arm or the back of the arm. If the latter, is the scar dead centre down the back of the arm or more to the side where the inner arm meets the back of the arm
There is much controversy over the best place to put an arm lift scar. The two best positions are in the back of the arms and the other is in the inner portion of the arm (bicipital groove). In the back of the arms the patient will not see the scars, but anyone behind you will. In the inner portion of the arms no one will see the scars unless you raise your arms outwards.
