2. Brachioplasty with axillary and thoracic extension: it is carried out in older patients, where a “pendulum-type arm” is identified and said flaccidity extends towards the thoracic and submammary areas. In this second case, the surgery is performed through a T incision and the scar is located in the inner area of ​​the arm.

Postoperatory
