Abstract The rise in obesity awareness, self-image obsession, and advances in weight loss techniques have led to a significant increase in weight loss patients and postbariatric surgeries. And because of the exponential increase in the number of brachioplasty procedures through the last two decades, there is an emerging necessity for more refinement of the technique to achieve maximum patient satisfaction. The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare medial and posteromedial scar placement in brachioplasty surgery on two equal groups of patients. The study was composed of a comparison of the clinical outcome of both techniques as an objective part of the study and a custom-made patient` satisfaction survey to be a subjective part of the study. conclusion After interpretation of the outcome and patients’ satisfaction survey, we concluded that the placement of the scar has no significant impact on the clinical outcome of the surgery in terms of complications and quality of the scar, but it has a significant impact on patients’ satisfaction which was in favor of posteromedial scar placement. |
