Extremities

To the extent that our body mature and ages, diverse changes are presented of gradual form in the tissues.? One of them is the loss of the elasticity of the skin in arms and legs, as well as the deposit of fat and decrease in the firmness of the muscle.

When the problem is found in the presence of fat in these zones, a procedure that helps us to return the prior appearance is the liposuction of arms and thighs.? Now well, once the problem stirs up itself for laxity of the skin in this zone, the best is to carry out a brachioplasty to eliminate the excessive skin and fat.

The procedure is carried out in upper extremity: marking previously the excessive skin with a line that runs to all the way long of the arm, from the elbow to the axila; and in lower extremity: just under the gluteal region on the thigh.? Once the skin and fat are extracted, Dr. Cárdenas will place drainages and sutures that will adjust the skin and the tissues under.

Finally a compressive dressing is placed on the zone in which has been operated.
