Before and After: Arm Lift on a Patient with Type IV Stage II Lipoedema
Our patient had Type IV Stage II lipoedema and underwent an arm lift (Brachioplasty) under Mr Karri. Not only can you see the dramatically different look of her arms following the lift, but Mr Karri also took great care to ensure that the scars were not readily noticeable with the patient's arms down by her side, as seen in the second photograph.
