Answer: Delays in wound healing.
It is not unusual to have some delays with the healing of your brachioplasty. You should talk to your PS about instructions to take care of these wounds and perhaps be seen. With good wound care they will heal better and faster. Best wishes, Dr. Aldo.

Answer: Wound Dehiscence After Brachioplasty?
Thank you for the question and pictures. The incision line opening that you demonstrate does occur occasionally with arm lifting surgery. These areas generally go on to heal with local wound care and without sequelae. In other words, you should do well with nothing more than some protective dressings. Your plastic surgeon will guide you.
Best wishes.
