Levantamento de Braços

O que é a cirurgia de Levantamento de braços?

 

A cirurgia de Levantamento de braços, formalmente conhecida como braquioplastia, é um procedimento que tem como objetivo apertar e tonificar a parte superior dos braços, removendo o excesso de pele na parte superior dos braços. Restaurando também um contorno jovem à parte superior dos braços.

 

Porque é que o Levantamento de braços é realizado?

 

A remoção da pele flácida dos braços é a principal razão para a cirurgia de Levantamento de braços. A flacidez da pele pode ser causada por uma variedade de razões: idade avançada, uma dieta pobre em proteínas, estilo de vida sedentário, exposição excessiva à luz solar e perda súbita de peso. Embora a Braquioplastia trate de uma área relativamente pequena do corpo, o procedimento pode melhorar a aparência completa. Com braços mais finos, toda a figura pode parecer visivelmente mais esbelta e mais jovem.

 

Quais são as condições para a cirurgia de Levantamento de braços?

 

Um Levantamento de braços é recomendado para os seguintes pacientes:

 

  • Os pacientes que não têm condições médicas que possam prejudicar a cicatrização ou aumentar o risco da cirurgia.
  • Os pacientes que podem ser submetidos a anestesia com segurança.
  • Os pacientes que têm excesso de pele na parte superior dos braços.

 

 

Além disso, a cirurgia de elevação do braço é recomendada para pacientes com Índice de Massa Corporal, IMC, inferior a 30, uma vez que os resultados da cirurgia serão alterados com a perda ou ganho de peso.

 

Quais são os tipos de cirurgia de elevação do braço?

 

Existem 3 tipos de cirurgia de elevação do braço normalmente realizados:

Mini-Elevação de braço:

Envolve a realização de uma única incisão curva localizada inteiramente sob a axila e é ideal para pacientes com graus ligeiros de flacidez da pele e excesso de gordura na parte superior dos braços.

 

Elevador de braço standard:

 

Remove totalmente o excesso de pele e de gordura nos braços. A incisão é efectuada na parte inferior do braço, a cicatriz não é visível quando vista de frente e de trás.

 

Levantamento de braços alargado:

 

A incisão estende-se desde o cotovelo até à parte superior do braço, ao longo da axila e ao longo da parede torácica lateral. Envolve a remoção do excesso de pele e gordura da parte superior do braço, axila e perto do peito. É aplicado a pacientes com flacidez excessiva do braço.

 

Quais são os factores a ter em conta antes da cirurgia de elevação do braço?

 

Antes da cirurgia de elevação do braço:

  • Os doentes devem estar no hospital um dia antes da cirurgia para efectuarem os testes pré-operatórios.
  • Os doentes devem parar de fumar e de consumir álcool pelo menos 2 semanas antes da cirurgia para reduzir o risco de coágulo sanguíneo.
  • Os doentes devem evitar medicamentos que contenham aspirina ou ibuprofeno (Advil, Motrin IB, outros) durante duas semanas antes e depois da cirurgia. Estes medicamentos podem aumentar o risco de hemorragia interna. Os doentes devem confirmar cada medicamento e suplemento que pretendem tomar com o seu coordenador de doentes.

 

 

Além disso, o corpo do paciente será examinado e medido, e o cirurgião poderá mandar tirar fotografias para que o paciente possa comparar a aparência antes e depois da cirurgia de levantamento de braço.

 

Como é realizado o Levantamento de braços?

 

Há uma variedade de técnicas diferentes utilizadas pelos cirurgiões plásticos. Antes da operação, os braços são abertos e é feito um planeamento e desenhos detalhados. Apenas é marcado o excesso de pele, cuja remoção proporcionará um aperto adequado e não distorcerá o contorno do braço.

A incisão apropriada é feita de acordo com a cirurgia de levantamento de braços que está a ser efectuada.

 

Durante o procedimento, o excesso de pele é removido utilizando uma dissecção suave, de modo a não danificar os vasos e nervos do braço. Dependendo do procedimento, o excesso de pele e gordura pode também ser removido perto das axilas e da zona do peito.

 

Na maioria dos casos, são colocados drenos para remover os fluidos que se podem acumular sob a pele. A cirurgia padrão de levantamento de braços demora, em média, 2 horas, mas pode demorar até 5 horas, dependendo da complexidade do caso. No final da cirurgia, são colocadas ligaduras para criar pressão perto da área do braço e para controlar a inflamação.

 

Quais são os factores a ter em conta após a cirurgia de elevação do braço?

 

Pode demorar várias semanas a meses para que o inchaço e as nódoas negras desapareçam e até 12 meses para que as cicatrizes fiquem planas e mais claras, mas as cicatrizes não desaparecerão totalmente. Os pacientes são aconselhados a:

  • Usar uma cinta de braço especial que será fornecida durante três semanas para reduzir o inchaço.
  • Restringir movimentos e exercícios extenuantes com o braço durante pelo menos 6 semanas.
  • Proteger a pele do sol e usar regularmente protetor solar.

 

Em média, o doente pode regressar ao trabalho 10 dias após a cirurgia.

 

Quais são os riscos do levantamento de braços?

 

Os riscos envolvidos na cirurgia de elevação do braço incluem, mas não estão limitados a:

 

  • Inchaço
  • Hematomas
  • Hemorragia
  • Infeção
  • Deiscência da ferida
  • Acumulação de fluidos no local da ferida
  • Hematoma, que é uma hemorragia sob a pele
  • Riscos associados à anestesia
  • Dormência no local da incisão

Outro risco possível da cirurgia de levantamento de braços é o facto de o doente poder não ficar satisfeito com os resultados. Nesta situação, é possível efetuar uma cirurgia de revisão.

Tal reviewed Neck lift Dr Emre

Disclaimer: Only just had this done, so it may need to be updated once I have healed fully. Nurses; they were one of the best parts about my stay. All the nurses (especially female) were amazing. I had 1 nurse (blonde, maybe head nurse, night shift) she was so great and really looked after me and spoke good enough English. They checked on me almost every 3 hours, gave me so many IVs and made sure I was really ok. Clean: I didn’t notice anything being unclean or unkept. It was all clean to a good standard- better than the uk. Surgeon: I had two consultations with him. He spoke good enough English also. He did an amazing job. My scars aren’t even visible really and I have just had it done. My jawline is snatched and so well defined. He did set expectations around my surgery so I’m going to wait to see the full result. I only wished he would’ve been there when I woke up to explain what happened during surgery. Results : it’s been 5 days, but my jawline is so very defined and the skin is completely gone. So happy right now with it but i know it will drop Things that could’ve been better: probs just the surgeon explaining what happened to me in surgery lol and i think the medical sheets (advice post op) it’s confusing and contradicting- etc one page said take brown tape off in a week the other page said 3 weeks. One page said wear head compress for a month one said 3 months- it needs to be rewritten. Other than that, no complaints. for the price, surgery and experience I’d go with them, they really did take care of everything for me.

Gema Somacarrera reviewed Incredible Company

I would like to write a very sincere review about Booking Surgery.com After being botched 2 years ago by another company in Izmir I couldn't take any chances of this happening again. I had a extended tummy tuck and breast uplift 2 years ago but unfortunatelly i had serious complications due to malpractice. I was leff in a hotel the day after surgery with little or no care at all. After doing a lot of research I came across Booking Surgery. The first thing that attracted me was that they offer full hospital stay. I was recomended to contact David Tucker and within a few hours of me contacting him he got in touch. David listened to my story and everything I went through previously, he was very compasionate and promised Booking Surgery will do their best to find me the best surgeon to perform the corrective surgery I need it. After several communications and assestments I chose Dr Emin based in excellent results, references and meeting him personally as I travelled to meet him before making my final decision. I travel to Turkey on the 5th January 2025 and as soon as I arrived at the hospital I was greeted my Jake, their translator and taken to my hospital room. I had all my pre-op test straight away plus, scan, ultra sounds and mamograms to look for any internal damage from previous surgery. The next morning Dr Emin came with his team for the assesment and markings ready for surgery. I knew it was going to be a very complicated surgery and didn't have high expectations at all. I put my trust in Dr Emin and hoped for the best. When I woke up after 10 hours in surgery I was told by Dr Emin that it was a very sucessful outcome and that he was extremely happy with the results. Even though I was unable to see anything I was already so happy. I was able to see the results the next day, I couldn't believe the incredible work Dr Emin had done, just over the mon. I will never be able to thank such an amazing surgeon enough for the incredible work he performed on me. My stay at the hospital was outstanding, Dr Emin came to see me and check my wounds every day, the head nurse Secil was so efficient and made sure I was well look after, she will check on me all the time. All the staff from cleaners, translators, nurses were outstanding. The love, care and attention I have recieved from everyone at Booking Surgery has been incredible. I am now back home and it has been 10 days since my operation. I feel amazing and I have just seen my whole body, i could cry. Perfection and i am so tinny and the shape is incredible. I am so in love with the work in my breast after losing my niple and tissue on my right breast 2 years ago. Dr Emin managed to reconstruct my breast and now matches the other breast. I don't know how to express so much gratitude. Dr Emin is GOD, he will never know how much he has already improve my mental health and how much my life and confidence will change. Please do not hesitate to book with this amazing company, they work with high end surgeons, not ordinary ones. David Turker my cordinator made a big part to make this a success so please do not hesitate to contact him for your initial assesment. Can't wait to fully recover and return for my thighs lift. Thank you with all my heart Booking Surgery and everyone involved ♥️

Stuart Jamieson reviewed Gastric sleave

The whole experience was very good when I arrived i started to panic but the staff settled me down. Rooms were very very good compared to what the nhs offer as well as tv with netflix.

Emily reviewed Experience was great

Experience was great. Whenever I asked for anything like pain killers, anti sickness etc I received it within minutes. All the staff were lovely and couldn’t do anything more to help me. Bruce was my co-ordinator he went above and beyond to settle my mind and my family’s mind with us being in 2 different countries. Thank you.

Kayley leask reviewed After I was so worried about travelling…
