Duplicate Patient Information
The patient is first given comprehensive information about the objec­tives and risks ofthe procedure on the day of the first cons ultation. A written record is kept of this. One day before the surgical procedure, the patient is again given com­prehensive information on two separate occasions: once by the surgeon and once by the surgical resident. All the risks are set down in writing at this time.
Preliminary Examinations
Current preoperative rou tine laboratory examinations, ECG, chest X-ray, clinical examination.

Surgical Planning
The procedure is carried out under tumescent local anesthesia or under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. On the day before the operation, the surgeon discusses in detail with the patient which changes he or she wants and how the surgeon can achieve this. The patient must be warned about unrealistic expectations and must be fully informed about postoperative behavior, in particular about how to care for the scar.

Preliminary Marking of Incision Lines (Fig. 8.5)
Before the operation, the areas of surplus skin are marked with the patient standing with his/her arms slightly abducted and bent at the elbow joint to 70°. Optimum preoperative marking is extremely impor­tant for brachioplasty. The surgeon must take his/her time and position the incision in such a way that it cannot be seen either from the front or the back when the patient’s upper arm is hanging down. In order to do this, the surgeon holds the surplus skin together between the thumb and index finger of his/her left hand and marks the outer resection bor-

der with a pen. In general, markings are made for the upper longitudi­nal incision about two finger widths above the sulcus bicipitalis media­lis. The exact course of the lower incision is only defined during the operation. To achieve a symmetrical result, however , the incision is marked approximately before the operation.
If appropriate, the spindlelike resection in the axilla can be extended in an axillary direction by Z-plasty or a vertical ellipse.
In all aesthetic resections of cutaneous/fatty flaps in the head, neck, or body the final resection is carried out in stages in order to ensure that neither too much nor too little is removed, as in both these cases the result would be unsatisfactory . The skill of the aesthetic surgeon is to have a feeling for the tissue, to be able to think in three dimensions, andtobeabletofulfillthepatient’swisheswitharigorousexplanation of the procedure. An aesthetic surgeon can only be successful in the long term if he or she does this.

Mang’s Fish-Mouth Technique (Fig. 8.6)
In appro p riate cases, i.e., when the folds of skin do not extend a long way into the elbow region, a variation of the incision, without extension beyond the cranial third of the upper arm, can be successful. With this incision, not only vertical tightening in the upper arm area is achieved, but also tangential tightening in the axilla. The advantage of this inci­sion is that the scar is barely visible, and skin folds in the axilla and upper third of the upper arm can be eliminated very effectively. The scar can hardly be seen at all when sleeveless clothes are worn.
Positioning, Disinfection
The patient’s arms are abducted by 90° before the operation. Care should be taken to position them correctly so that there is no pressure or traction in order avoid damaging the brachial plexus. Disinfection with Cutasept® is carried out to the edges and to the breast region.
Tumescence (Fig. 8.7)
Tumescence is then performed without blurring the marked borders. App roximately 200 ml of tumescence solution without the addition of triamcinolone acetonide is injected manually per side (0.9% NaCl, 500 ml, 1% prilocaine 250 mg = 25 ml, epinephrine 0.5 mg, 8.4% NaHCO35mEq).
Tumescence is carried out in the layer where dissection will lat er be done, i.e., on the fascia of the upper arm, so that the skin/fat flap is separated from the fascia by the injection itself. During tumescence, the surgeon can feel the thickness of the flap and can therefore carry out dissection quickly and with almost no bleeding. The tumescence also predetermines the level of dissection, so that no deeper vessels or nerves are damaged.

Incision (Fig. 8.8)
The incision starts at the marked line above the sulcus bicipitalis medi­alis. The incision made with a size 15 scalpel should be wedge-shaped (30°), so that when the wound is closed later (equilateral triangle with the deepest point on the upper arm fascia), an inverted scar is not produced.

A t the same time, the assistant can carry out hemostasis with bipolar tweezers. As a result of thetumescenceinfiltration,thesurgicalareaisclearlyvisibleandnot covered with blood. This enables dissection from the fascia of the upper arm to be carried out quickly. The surgeon can do this with either scissors or a scalpel.
Incision of the Dissected Dermofat Flap in Stages (Fig. 8.11)
Once the skin/fat flap along the fascia of the upper arm has been dis­sected to deep within the marked resection border, Backhaus clamps are attached to both ends and rotated gently in a cranial direction. Resection of surplus fatty tissue, in particular at the cranial and caudal incision borders, is carried out approp riatel y. Incision of the dermofat flap at marked sites is then done while monitoring the tension. When doing this, it is important that the incisions are made under slight tension stage by stage in line with the cranial incision line to prevent toolittleskinfrombeingexcised,resultinginanunsatisfactoryresult, or too much skin being excised, resulting in the scar being placed under too much tension (risk of hypotrophic scarring).
