Upper arm bracelet
Bandages on the upper arm are particularly common in combination with the elbow, since joints suffer particularly from many sports activities and computer work. In addition to overloading, incorrect weight-bearing can also lead to problems. This can lead to inflammation and injuries.
A typical clinical picture is tennis elbow, in which the tendon attachment tissue is diseased.To heal such injuries, a bandage is placed around the upper arm and elbow. However, there are also injuries in the shoulder area that lead the doctor to recommend that you wear a bandage. The bandage has a joint-relieving, protective and supporting function. The bandage sits relatively tight, yet adapts comfortably to the movements of the body. Thus, the upper arm support is not only used during the healing process, but also to prevent possible injuries due to overstrain, especially in sports.
Upper arm lift
In an upper arm lift, tissue is removed from the underside of the upper arm, which is particularly visible when lifting the arm. In the vernacular, it is also called angle arm. These can be caused by flaccid connective tissue or occur after a severe weight loss.
With an upper arm lift, the sagging tissue is removed and the upper arm gains in contour. This operation is an aesthetic plastic surgery procedure that has no relevance for the health of the body. Before the procedure, the surgeon marks where the incisions are to be made on the inner side of the upper arm and the armpit.
Now the operation is performed either under general or local anesthesia. A simple skin removal is often performed, leaving barely visible scars. In this case, the cosmetic scars are located in the inner part of the upper arm, the goal is to produce scars that are as inconspicuous as possible.
It is also possible that, in addition to skin removal, excess fat is also removed. Furthermore, it is also possible to tighten the upper arm only by means of fat removal. During the operation, a drainage is placed, through which wound water can drain off. The operation usually lasts only one to two hours, after which the patient stays in the clinic for a short time for observation, but can return home quite quickly, only with a bandage around the upper arms.
