Ultrasound-guided Upper Arm Lift

Arm Lift, commonly known as Brachioplasty, is a cosmetic surgical treatment used to enhance the look of the underside of your upper arms.

Brachioplasty is a form of body shaping surgery. This sort of surgery is frequently performed following weight-loss surgery. Most people who have undergone weight-loss surgery are interested in body-reshaping surgery.

Ultrasound is required for the pre-stage process, and it may also be utilized to help in the diagnosis and treatment of post-Brachioplasty, in which injury to the medial brachial and medial antebrachial nerves may occur after the procedure, resulting in significant discomfort.

It is strongly suggested to use a high-frequency Mini Linear Transducer to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of medial brachial and medial antebrachial nerve injury caused by arm lifts.

The Mini Linear Handheld WiFi Ultrasound Scanner MLCD for example allows for visibility of local anaesthetic distribution and, if necessary, repeated injections throughout the medial brachial and medial antebrachial nerves to ensure proper local anaesthetic spread and increase block success.

All plastic surgery patients receiving surgery under complete intravenous anaesthetic are given an ultrasound screening. Scans are scheduled before surgery, the day following surgery, and about a week afterwards.

Despite excellent intentions, even in the most skilled hands, blind (injections conducted without imaging) injections are not 100% correct, with accuracy in some joints as low as 30-40%. With ultrasound guidance, the accuracy of virtually every joint injection surpasses 90% and, in many cases, approaches 100%. Furthermore, the gadget features a largely software-based foundation.

The ultrasound-guided injection can visually confirm successful injection, decreasing patient anxiety and the risk of medial nerve injury.
