摘要

Abstract Background Upper arm aesthetics often suffer from aging effects such as skin laxity and sagging due to collagen and elastin depletion. Fat loss, obesity, and weight fluctuations further exacerbate these issues. Existing classification systems for upper arm excess are complex and have practical limitations. Objectives The aim of this study was to develop a more concise and clearer classification of upper arm excess that can guide surgical interventions effectively and assess clinical outcomes. Methods Patients undergoing upper arm rejuvenation surgery from January 2020 to January 2023 were categorized as mild, moderate, or severe. Mild cases underwent suction-assisted liposuction (SAL), moderate cases underwent radiofrequency-assisted liposuction combined with SAL, and severe cases underwent brachioplasty combined with SAL. Arm circumferences and BODY-Q questionnaires were collected pre- and postoperatively. Results The study included 50 female patients, aged 21 to 49 years. The average follow-up time was 7.5 [2.2] months. Arm circumference reduction rates were 6.8% in mild cases, 15.1% in moderate cases, and 17.3% in severe cases. Regarding the BODY-Q questionnaire for upper arms, the average score increased by 0.9 for mild, 2.1 for moderate, and 2.9 for severe cases. Complications were minimal, including 1 seroma and 2 cases of scar widening. Conclusions The revised classification system for upper arm excess proved effective in guiding surgical decisions. Selecting the surgical approach based on severity resulted in satisfactory outcomes based on BODY-Q scores. This system offers a concise, objective, and practical tool for plastic surgeons.
