“…Medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve injury has a reported incidence of 0.5 percent dur- ing upper arm contouring. [3][4][5] It penetrates the deep fascia approximately 14.5 cm proximal to the medial epicondyle with two to seven branches, well within the area of brachioplasty skin excisions. 6,7 Upper arm contouring was first mentioned by Thorek in 1930, and the literature commonly credits aesthetic brachioplasty to Correa Iturraspe and Fernandez in 1954.…”

Há também complicações tardias: alterações no esvaziamento gástrico com repercussão sistêmica, complicações metabólicas como deficiência de cálcio, tiamina, folato, ferro, vitamina B12 e anemia(3,7,8,22,23,24).Algumas dessas complicações, especialmente as hérnias incisionais, foram reduzidas com o advento de técnicas videolaparoscópicas.A cirurgia plástica e o paciente após perda ponderal maciça A perda ponderal maciça ocasiona excesso de pele e dobras cutâneas, o que para o paciente é fonte de desconforto físico para se adequar a localizada resultando em lipodistrofias de variados graus(95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105,106). O tratamento nestes casos envolve técnicas de lipoaspiração e ressecções cutâneas.…”
