    Abstract

    Brachial dermo-lipectomy, which has been performed for several decades, became more frequent again with the advent of bariatric surgery. However, brachioplasty still raises the problem of its scars, necessary mostly in the longitudinal axis. Most of the described techniques are with a medial scar. The author's purpose is to show, with a five years follow-up, the reasons of its choice of a postero-medial scar: ease of installation of both arms in the same operative field, the better scar quality than in the medial localization and finally because it is comparatively the least visible under several incidences: not only anterior and posterior in abduction but also posterior in adduction.
