Being a Lymphedema therapist my concern moving forward with making a decision for upper arm skin reduction would be developing Lymphedema post surgery, what are the chances of that happening?

Answer: Lymphedema after brachioplasty Although swelling may be present for several months post bracioplasty, lymphedema is rare. One of the major concerns with this procedure is the ultimate scar, which can,many times, be of poor quality. It s instructive to look at scar results in a number of patients to determine your tolerance. Best of luck.

Answer: Lymphedema after brachioplasty is rare Although swelling in the arms (including the hands) is common for the first few weeks after surgery, it's rare for it to last longer than a month or two, and I have personally never seen a patient develop permanent Lymphedema after brachioplasty.
