| BRACHIOPLASTY (SURGICAL ‘ARM-LIFT’)-
TOTALLY UNDER LOCAL ANAESTHESIA |
| |
|
| |
|
Introduction: BRACHIOPLASTY/ARM-LIFT is a surgical procedure on the arms to remove excess and loose skin, tighten the skin on the arms and give a smooth contoured shape. Excessive weight loss and ageing are the common factors which cause the arms muscles and skin to become loose. A surgical Arm-Lift is a major surgery performed to correct these changes. We at VITAL CLINIC are doing this surgery by the safest ‘TUMESCENT TECHNIQUE’.

| TUMESCENT TECHNIQUE: There is exceptional patient safety when BRACHIOPLASTY (SURGICAL ‘ARM-LIFT’) is performed by tumescent technique used in liposuction, totally under local anaesthesia and without sedation. Tumescent Technique makes the procedure virtually bloodless and carries a very high safety profile. Patients are awake, well oriented, conversing throughout the procedure and are absolutely free from pain in the postoperative period. Patients are discharged from the clinic after an hour of surgery. |

Patients have negligible blood loss during surgery, little or nil postoperative pain, and early healing. They are back to their normal activities within a week. TUMESCENT TECHNIQUE introduces a new dimension in patient safety. |
