Lifting de brazos

¿Qué es la cirugía de lifting de brazos?

 La cirugía de lifting de brazos, formalmente conocida como braquioplastia, es un procedimiento que tiene como objetivo tensar y tonificar la parte superior de los brazos mediante la eliminación del exceso de piel en la parte superior de los brazos. De este modo, se restaura el contorno juvenil de la parte superior de los brazos.

 

¿Por qué se realiza el lifting de brazos?

 La eliminación de la piel flácida de los brazos es la razón principal de la cirugía de lifting de brazos. La flacidez de la piel puede deberse a diversas razones: edad avanzada, dieta baja en proteínas, sedentarismo, exposición excesiva a la luz solar y pérdida repentina de peso. Aunque la braquioplastia se dirige a una zona relativamente pequeña del cuerpo, el procedimiento puede mejorar el aspecto completo. Con unos brazos más delgados, toda la figura puede parecer notablemente más esbelta y joven.

 

¿Cuáles son las condiciones para someterse a una cirugía de lifting de brazos?

 El lifting de brazos se recomienda a los siguientes pacientes:

  • Los pacientes que no tienen condiciones médicas que pueden perjudicar la curación o aumentaría el riesgo de la cirugía.
  • Los pacientes que pueden ir con seguridad bajo anestesia.
  • Los pacientes que tienen exceso de piel en la parte superior de los brazos.

 

Además, la cirugía de lifting de brazos se recomienda a pacientes con un índice de masa corporal (IMC) inferior a 30, ya que los resultados de la cirugía cambiarán con la pérdida o el aumento de peso.

 

¿Cuáles son los tipos de cirugía de lifting de brazos?

 Existen 3 tipos de cirugía de lifting de brazos:

 

Mini Lifting de Brazos:

 Consiste en realizar una única incisión curvada situada completamente debajo de la axila y es ideal para pacientes con grados leves de laxitud de la piel y exceso de grasa en la parte superior de los brazos.

 

Lifting de brazos estándar:

 Elimina por completo el exceso de piel y grasa de los brazos. La incisión se hace debajo del brazo, la cicatriz no es visible cuando se ve desde el frente y la espalda.

 

Lifting de brazos extendido:

La incisión se extiende desde el codo hasta la parte superior del brazo a lo largo de la axila y a lo largo de la pared torácica lateral. Implica la eliminación del exceso de piel y grasa de la parte superior del brazo, la axila y cerca del pecho. Se aplica a pacientes con flacidez excesiva de los brazos.

 

¿Qué hay que tener en cuenta antes del lifting de brazos?

Antes de la cirugía de Lifting de Brazos:

  • Los pacientes deben acudir al hospital un día antes de la intervención para que se les realicen las pruebas preoperatorias.
  • Los pacientes deben dejar de fumar y de consumir alcohol al menos 2 semanas antes de la intervención para aliviar el riesgo de coágulos de sangre.
  • Los pacientes deben evitar los medicamentos que contengan aspirina o ibuprofeno (Advil, Motrin IB, otros) durante dos semanas antes y después de la cirugía. Estos medicamentos pueden aumentar el riesgo de hemorragia interna. Los pacientes deben confirmar cada medicamento y suplemento que deseen tomar con su Coordinador de Pacientes.

 

También se examinará y medirá el cuerpo del paciente, y es posible que el cirujano tome fotografías para que el paciente pueda comparar el aspecto antes y después de la cirugía de lifting de brazos.

 

¿Cómo se realiza el lifting de brazos?

Los cirujanos plásticos utilizan diferentes técnicas. Antes de la operación, se extienden los brazos y se realiza una planificación y dibujos detallados. Sólo se marca el exceso de piel cuya eliminación proporcionará un tensado adecuado y no distorsionará el contorno del brazo.

Se realiza la incisión adecuada en función de la cirugía de lifting de brazos que se vaya a realizar.

 

Durante la intervención, el exceso de piel se elimina mediante una disección suave, para no dañar los vasos y nervios del brazo. Dependiendo de la intervención, también puede eliminarse el exceso de piel y grasa cerca de las axilas y la zona del pecho.

 

En la mayoría de los casos, se colocan drenajes para eliminar los líquidos que puedan acumularse bajo la piel. La cirugía estándar de lifting de brazos dura una media de dos horas, pero puede durar hasta cinco dependiendo de la complejidad del caso. Al final de la cirugía, se colocan vendas para crear presión cerca de la zona del brazo y para controlar la inflamación.

 

¿Qué hay que tener en cuenta tras la cirugía de lifting de brazos?

La inflamación y los hematomas pueden tardar de varias semanas a meses en desaparecer y las cicatrices pueden tardar hasta 12 meses en aplanarse y aclararse, pero las cicatrices no desaparecerán por completo. Se aconseja a los pacientes que:

  • Llevar una férula especial para el brazo que se le proporcionará durante tres semanas para reducir la hinchazón.
  • Restringir los movimientos y ejercicios extenuantes del brazo durante al menos seis semanas.
  • Proteger la piel del sol y utilizar regularmente crema de protección solar.

 

Por término medio, el paciente puede volver al trabajo 10 días después de la intervención.

 

¿Cuáles son los riesgos de la cirugía de lifting de brazos?

 Los riesgos de la cirugía de lifting de brazos son, entre otros, los siguientes:

  • Hinchazón
  • Moratones
  • Hemorragia
  • Infección
  • Dehiscencia de la herida
  • Acumulación de líquido en el lugar de la herida
  • Hematoma, que es una hemorragia bajo la piel
  • Riesgos asociados a la anestesia
  • Entumecimiento en el lugar de la incisión

Otro posible riesgo de la cirugía de lifting de brazos es que el paciente no quede satisfecho con los resultados. En este caso, es posible realizar una cirugía de revisión.

Laoise Breslin reviewed Surgery

I have recently returned from having surgery in turkey which I booked through booking surgery. The process from start to finish has been phenomenal and still on going as my coordinator is still happy to help with any questions I have post op. My co ordinator was Robert Campell, he’s truly been fantastic, at the beginning he was great at responding to my worries and always making me feel at ease, and even now post op with anything I need, I never have to wait long for a response from him. Truly lovely person. I have to say all the coordinators are brilliant and happy to help with questions. Booking surgery as a whole has been brilliant, the social media groups, the support etc, they have everything from transfers, which is brilliant as they help so much with the airport when returning back home, the translators in the hospitals, they were fantastic, nothing was ever too much. What I really love about booking surgery is that you can take a companion with you who can share your room with you. This is an absolute game changer from other companies and I truly hope this remains in place. When booking loads of info is given re the surgeons and the hospitals. I was so happy with my surgeon and hospital, surgeon was fantastic, professional and respectful, the hospital was so modern, hotel like. I highly highly recommend booking surgery and I will definitely be using them in the not so distance future again. Thank you for everything

Carlos Costa reviewed Amazing job from Nora! - Booking Surgery

Booking Surgery exceeded all my expectations! I recently had veneers done by Nora, and the results are simply incredible. Not only did Nora do an amazing job, but she also provided exceptional care throughout the entire process. From the moment I arrived, the team at Booking Surgery made me feel welcome and comfortable. They even arranged for my transportation from the airport and provided accommodation in a nearby hotel, which made my experience hassle-free. The reception staff were friendly and efficient, ensuring I had everything I needed during my stay. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience at Booking Surgery. If you're considering any dental procedures, I highly recommend Nora and the team here!

Laura reviewed Medistanbul Hospital

I have just had surgery at Medistanbul with Dr Yalcin. I had 360fdl and breast uplift. The experience from start to finish has been outstanding. Interpretators Lily, Morgan, Naz and Frank where quick to solve any issues that I came across and were super friendly. I personally never had any issues with the food at the hospital. I just never had much of an appetite after surgery but gave things a try. All in all a wonderful experience to be had and I would definitely recommend ☺️

Rose Curley reviewed First of all a big thank you to Bruce…

First of all a big thank you to Bruce Who arranged everything from start to finish. I arrived at the airport where I was greeted by Denis who’s a lovely friendly driver who gave us water and signed us into WiFi. From the moment we arrived at yasam hospital the care was great. My partner and I were shown to our room which had enough room for us both and a hospital bed for my partner. The room was very clean and we had our own walk in shower room with toilet. I met the translator who spoke good English and between him and the staff it ran smoothly and.i had all my test done there and then. On the day of my op I was greeted nicely by Dr Nebil who is amazing by the way with the translater and made sure I understood everything that he suggested which was great very pleased with my result. After the op I was brought back up the care of the nurses r great and I wouldn’t change any of them. They got me up walking as soon as they could and there were very attentive to me . They check on you all of the time and were quick to jump on if something went wrong. Dr Nebil phoned on a Sunday checking that everything is ok that’s great commitment to his patients. I would definitely book with him again if I had any more work to be done . When it was time to leave they arranged wheelchair assistance for me and everything went well . My first experience was excellent and if I had to come back I would have my boobs doing only with dr nebil. Thanks to everyone and I mean everyone thank you so much for looking after me whilst I was in your care . Much love Rosaleen xx

D reviewed Great surgery booking team!

We booked my husbands rhinoplasty surgery with bookingsurgery.com and could not be happier with the service. The team picked us up from the airport took us to the hospital hotel and had someone from the team 24/7. The team was super attentive and reassuring. Made sure all our needs and wishes were met. They are super friendly and kind I would definitely recommend them to all my friends and family. Thank you to all the bookingsurgery.com team and hospital staff at Ozel Tekirdag Yasam Hastanesi for all your hardwork and help.

Charlotte reviewed Gastric sleeve

Went for a gastric sleeve last week, the care I got was amazing, nothing was ever to much, interpreters were amazing, the nurses would come in and check on you ask if you need anything if you needed pain relief or wanted to ask something they would come straight away, the room was so big, cleaners came in every morning was very clean, surgeon came to check on you after surgery, my coordinator Bruce was amazing if I had any questions he was happy to help, responded very quickly, would definitely recommend booking surgery.
