How is a dog ear revision performed?

Asked By:jennavereb in Winston Salem, NC

I was wondering how a dog ear revision is performed? Is it extending the incision (cutting) so it will be longer than it is presently? At this point, mine is approximately an inch above my elbow. I had a brachioplasty and the incision is longer than I was told it would be. I have what I believe is dog ears right above my elbows. Does that mean I will need a longer incision to go to the elbow or beyond? Or is there another form of revision? Thank you Jennavereb
