Abstract:
Objective:To put forward a self-created aesthetic concept of " Five narrow and one low" and to evaluate the clinical effect of contouring the upper arm and its surrounding area under this concept.Methods:From January 2020 to January 2023, 55 female patients, aged 20 to 50 (mean age 33.0±6.4) years, had their upper arms and surrounding area contours shaped according to the concept of " five narrow and one low" in Changsha My Like Medical Cosmetology Hospital. Liposuction was performed in the upper arm, scapular area, accessory breast area, and armpit area under local swelling combined with sedation and anesthesia. After liposuction in the medial upper arm, bipolar radiofrequency Body Tite compression was performed. Multiple botulinum toxin injections were performed postoperatively in the bilateral traperius muscles. The maximum circumference and sag distance of upper arm of both sides before and after surgery were measured. Patients′ satisfaction was assessed by satisfaction questionnaire.Results:The patients were followed up for 1-6 months after operation, and the liposuction (minimum-maximum) of 55 cases was (1 200±383) ml. The maximum circumference of the left upper arm was (32.85±4.98) cm before surgery and (27.03±3.13) cm after surgery. The maximum circumference of the left upper arm was reduced by (18.65±2.79) %. The maximum circumferential diameter of the right upper arm was (33.3±5.3) cm before surgery and (27.23±3.30) cm after surgery. The maximum circumferential diameter of the right upper arm was reduced by (18.42±2.84) %. The maximum sag distance of the upper arm was (7.12±2.08) cm before surgery and (4.04±1.22) cm after surgery. The maximum sag distance of the upper arm was reduced by (43.22±4.08) %. All the follow-up patients believed that the aesthetic effect of " five narrow and one low" was achieved, the satisfaction score was 4.62±0.51, and no serious complications occurred.Conclusions:The application of the aesthetic concept of " Five narrow and on low" in the contour shaping of the upper arm and the surrounding aera can achieve a better uniform, smooth and smooth surgical effect.
