Brachioplasty

Brachioplasty is a cosmetic procedure that aims to improve the image of the upper extremities by removing sagging and excess skin from the arm area.

It is often chosen by people who have lost significant weight or are experiencing normal sagging due to age.

Medical Evaluation & Consultation Meeting

Your first step is a friendly and detailed discussion with your plastic surgeon. Dr. Georgios Papadimitriou will assess the arm area, review your medical history, and provide detailed information about the procedure, potential risks, and expected results.

If you are considered a suitable candidate, the surgery will be scheduled.

Additional tests (e.g., blood tests or cardiological evaluations) may be required, and a review of the medications or supplements you are taking will be conducted.

Preoperative Instructions

Avoid medications such as aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs.Stop smoking at least 2-4 weeks before the surgery.Organize your recovery to ensure sufficient rest.

Realistic Expectations

Brachioplasty provides a firmer and more harmonious appearance to the arms, but it cannot prevent future aging or potential weight fluctuations. Collaboration with the surgeon and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are crucial for optimal results.
