Brachioplasty. Arm Contouring.



 
When examining art throughout time, artists have traditionally had difficulty obtaining correct proportions of the upper extremity and hand in drawings, paintings, and sculpture.

Michelangelo’s painting on the Sistine Chapel ceiling shows excellent proportion's of the depiction of God and Adam's hands. However, one can easily ascertain how obtaining these proportions can be quite difficult.

Nonetheless to the Plastic & Reconstructive surgeon, obtaining the correct proportion in an "arm tuck" or brachioplasty can be quite challenging as well. Crucial to obtaining an optimal result is to avoid any pinching or constriction along the contour of the arm. Even more challenging is to gradually transition this contour into the "armpit" or axillae. Often liposuction is used in conjunction with the brachioplasty to adequately taper the contour.
