Abstract: The Constriction Arm Band Deformity in Brachioplasty Patients: Characterization and Incidence Using a Prospective Registry
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION: Global demand for postmassive weight loss (MWL) body contouring surgery is increasing. Recent literature has cited an especially dramatic increase in brachioplasty in the United States, from 338 procedures in 2000 to 17,099 in 2015. New challenges are emerging, some without clear solutions. Here we describe our series of arm band deformities not yet been described in the literature.

BACKGROUND As the obese population increases in Korea, the number of patients who are trying to lose weight has been increasing steadily. In these patients, skin laxity and deformation of the body contour occurs, which could possibly be corrected by various body contouring surgeries.

متن کاملAmniotic Band Syndrome with the Involvement of Trunk: A Case Report
Amniotic Band Syndrome is a sporadic congenital disorder that may result in constriction bands, amputation and multiple craniofacial, visceral and body wall defects. Its incidence is estimated at approximately 1:5000 to 1:10,000 pregnancies. Band formation most frequently affects the distal segments, including the hand. We report a case of constriction amniotic bands involving the trunk.
متن کاملSERI Surgical Scaffold as an Adjunct to Conventional Brachioplasty
SUMMARY Although the popularity of longitudinal brachioplasty has grown tremendously in recent years, dealing with the unpredictable scar remains a challenge for the surgeon and the patient. The scar often heals slowly and widens over time, perpetuated by the effects of gravity, body movements, and the thin nature of the superficial fascial system (SFS) of the arm. Scar widening may correlate w...
