I am considering having brachioplasty and have seen two surgeons about the procedure. One surgeon recommended liposuction with the brachioplasty; the other surgeon never performs liposuction with brachioplasty because of the high level of trauma. Can someone please advise on why liposuction would not be performed and will my results be as effective?
It is impossible to give any recommendations for treatment without a physical exam. But limited liposuctioning can be performed safely at the time of a brachioplasty. Liposuction may increase the risk of a fluid collection. Hence, if and when I perform liposuction with an arm lift, I will place drains to prevent a seroma. Another option is to perform secondary delayed liposuctioning after the arm lift to fine tune your results. So both of your docs are not wrong with their answers. Each are making recommendations based on their comfort level and experience. Hope this helps.
