Complications associated with brachioplasty: a literature review.

CONCLUSIONS: Brachioplasty is a safe surgical procedure. All the brachioplasty techniques showed positive outcomes, in term of patients' satisfaction and clinical results. Nevertheless, minor complications occurred in a high percentage of patients, regardless the performed surgical procedure. Patients should be informed about the possible formation of hypertrophic scars and nerve injuries.
