A woman's sagging skin is the first to betray her age, especially if, due to a decrease in tone, sagging skin appears on her arms in the area above the elbow. This area of the hand is rarely subjected to regular physical activity, and therefore the muscles here are weak. In addition, tissue ptosis and accumulation of body fat occur with age, and as a result, a woman complains to a plastic surgeon about unaesthetically sagging skin on her hands. Similar problems may occur in young women with elastic skin, but who & nbsp; after intensive diets dramatically lost weight. Depending on the quality of the skin and the characteristics of the patient, the doctor selects a corrective technique to correct sagging skin on the hands.
The reasons why sagging skin appears on the hands
Among the traditionally known causes that accelerate the appearance of sagging skin and contribute to the development of sagging skin on the hands, excessive insolation, insufficient water intake, smoking, poor nutrition, exposure to harmful environmental factors (regular weathering, temperature changes, improperly selected care products) are always mentioned. for skin).
Sagging skin on the hands is facilitated by sudden weight loss, genetic characteristics of the body, hormonal disorders and some other diseases, due to which muscle tone decreases, dry and flabby skin develops. In addition, with age, muscles weaken more and more, especially triceps, which do not receive regular sufficient load, but fat begins to accumulate in this area. As a result of a decrease in muscle tone, sagging skin appears on the hands.
Methods that correct sagging skin on the hands
If the skin on the arms is still quite elastic, then it is quite possible to get rid of sagging skin on the arms with the help of a special set of exercises to strengthen the triceps and other muscles of the arms, back, and chest. A good effect gives a massage of the shoulder area, as well as laser resurfacing of the inner surface of the hands. With the help of a laser, you can not only remove small sagging skin, but also increase its elasticity by stimulating collagen production, and at the same time remove age spots.
In case of flabby skin, significantly sagging skin on the hands, more serious methods of plastic surgery of the hands will be required to correct their shape.
Brachioplasty – removal of excessively sagging skin on the arms in the shoulder area. Excess fat and excess skin are excised through a vertical incision on the inside of the shoulder. After the operation, it is necessary to wear a bandage, then compression underwear for about a month. The stitches will become pale, but their traces will not completely disappear. The operation does not solve the problem of flabby skin, does not give the hands a beautiful shape, it is carried out only up to a certain volume.
Liposuction – removal of excess fat in the back and side of the shoulder. Indicated for sufficiently elastic skin. Through small incisions in the skin, adipose tissue is destroyed by ultrasound, and then it is sucked off with the help of a vacuum. The recovery period after liposuction is about 3 weeks.
Liposculpture – hand shaping operation using the patient's own fat. Adipose tissue can be used after liposuction in the shoulder area or taken from other areas. Fat cells are processed and injected under the patient's skin in places where it is planned to create a smooth bend, add volume, and slightly change the shape. Due to lipofilling, flabby skin looks much younger and more elastic, hands are smoothed and take on a youthful shape.
The methods of correction of flabby skin and sagging skin of the hands can be combined with each other and with other cosmetic procedures that strengthen the effect of plastic surgery of the hands.
