Background: Massive weight loss generates body deformities.Therefore, the demand for body contouring surgery isincreasing steadily. The aim of this study is to evaluate the useof liposuction-assisted brachioplasty technique in achievingbetter arm contouring and to describe the complications andpatient satisfaction through the analysis of functional and aestheticcriteria of medial scar versus posterior scar brachioplasty.Methods: A total of 14 patients were recruited during2015 at Tanta University Hospital and were randomized into2 groups Group A: (7 patients) underwent medial scar techniqueand Group B: (7 patients) underwent posterior scar technique.Results: The study included 14 female patients in whichthe posterior scar technique had an average operative time of90 minutes which is shorter than medial scar technique whichhad an average operative time of 118 minutes with lowercomplication rate with posterior scar technique but more armreduction with medial scar technique.Conclusion: Brachioplasty operation is a good method totreat patients with arm obesity or post massive weight lossskin ptosis. Medial scar technique showed significant morereduction in arm circumference than posterior scar technique.However posterior scar technique demonstrated significantlyshorter operative time, better scar quality and more patientsatisfaction with less incidence of complications than medialscar technique.
