Paciente femenina en la etapa temprana de sus 50 con pérdida de peso significativa. Se realizó braquioplastia extendida y torsoplastia para firmeza y contorno superior.

Description

Female patient in her early 50s from the United States, with a history of massive weight loss (190 lb), stable for over a year. She presented with significant skin laxity in the arms, abdomen, flanks, and back. Her primary goal was to reshape and define the upper body after her transformation, with an emphasis on contouring and symmetry.

An extended brachioplasty was performed to address excess skin along the upper arms and into the lateral chest wall. Simultaneously, a torsoplasty was performed to remove redundant tissue and enhance the upper body contour, particularly around the axillary folds and the back. The results show notable improvement in skin tightness, silhouette refinement, and enhanced upper body proportions. Skin quality was rated as fair due to laxity, and the surgical outcome is progressing favorably.

This case is published with the patient’s express authorization for informational and educational purposes.

Paciente femenina en la etapa temprana de sus 50 años, originaria de Estados Unidos, con antecedentes de pérdida masiva de peso (190 lb), mantenida estable durante más de un año. Se presentó con laxitud cutánea severa en brazos, abdomen, flancos y espalda. Su objetivo principal fue redefinir su figura tras la transformación, priorizando la armonía del contorno superior.

Se realizó una braquioplastia extendida para eliminar el exceso de piel en brazos y parte lateral del tórax, acompañada de una torsoplastia que permitió mejorar el contorno de la espalda y la zona axilar. Los resultados muestran una mejora significativa en la firmeza cutánea y en la proporción estética del torso. La calidad de la piel fue calificada como regular debido a la laxitud, y la evolución quirúrgica es favorable.
