Der ästhetische Oberarm: Zur Anatomie und Klassifikation des lipodysmorphen Oberarmes

SUMMARY: 1. The muscular atrophy leads across the Fascia brachialis and retinacula cutis to substantial sagging of the upper arm. 2. The posterior deep fat compartment sags together with the Fascia brachialis over the triceps muscle. 3. The lipedema manifestation is often ignored when planning surgery of the upper arm. 4. The anatomical structures are important therapeutic options.
