A brachioplasty may cause postoperative hemorrhages and accumulations of wound exudates ("seroma"). Light swellings of the hands, tearing of the sutures, somatosensory disorders, feelings of tightness, aesthetically unpleasant scars, thromboses, embolisms, and in very rare cases infections may also occur. Moreover, lesions of the nerves and vessels cannot be safely excluded.

After the surgery, you should wear a special upper arm compression sleeve night and day for 6 weeks. During this time, sports activities, sauna, and intensive UV exposure are strictly forbidden.

The costs for an upper arm lift may vary depending on the extent of the procedure and will be agreed upon in advance. The price is inclusive of all services, such as the consultation, the surgery, the anesthesia, the medications, the hospitalization, the follow-up controls, and all potential corrective surgical procedures.
