Arm Lift which is also known as Brachioplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure to
improve the appearance of the under portion of your upper arms.

Brachioplasty is a type of body-contouring surgery. This type of surgery is often
done after weight-loss surgery. Most people who have had weight-loss surgery are
interested in surgery that reshapes the body.

 Ultrasound is needed in the pre-stage procedure and also it may be used as an aid
in the diagnosis and treatment of post-Brachioplasty, in which Injury to the medial
brachial and the medial antebrachial nerves may occur after the procedure and may
lead to severe pain.

## Which Ultrasound Scanner is the best to be used with Brachioplasty?

It is strongly advised to utilize a high-frequency Mini Linear Transducer to help
in the identification and treatment of post-arm lift damage to the medial brachial
and medial antebrachial nerves.

For instance, the [Color Mini Linear Wireless Ultrasound Scanner SIFULTRAS-3.53](https://sifsof.com/product/color-linear-wireless-ultrasound-scanner-sifultras-3-53/)
guidance enables for visibility of the distribution of local anaesthetic and, if
necessary, repeated injections throughout the medial brachial and medial antebrachial
nerves to guarantee the appropriate spread of local anaesthetic, increasing block
success.

Ultrasound screening is offered to all plastic surgery patients undergoing surgery
under total intravenous anaesthesia. Scans are scheduled before surgery, the day
after surgery, and approximately 1 week after surgery. SIFULTRAS-3.53 Color Wireless
Ultrasound Scanner 10-12-14 MHz is used to image the deep veins of both lower extremities

Ultrasound (US)-guided injection can visually validate successful injection, reducing
patient anxiety and the risk of medial nerve damage.
