Arm Lift for Sagging Skin on Forearms? Will an arm lift help the sagging skin on the forearms or is that another procedure? Also, what is the average cost in metro Phoenix?

A: Arm lift

Hello,

An arm lift or brachioplasty is usually designed to contour the laxity of the upper arm from the elbow to the arm pit but it can also help the forearm area. This can be accomplished in two ways: The first is extending the incision onto the forearm which is not as desireable. More commonly I shoft the closure of the upper arm incision so that some of the forearm laxity is corrected with the traditional arm lift procedure.

All the best,

How can I eliminate excess skin in my arms? I had lipo Sept. 09, and this was performed to remove slight wings under my arms. I am 5'6" and weigh 118 lb., but the result was less than desirable. I now have very loose and wrinkled skin that is very embarrassing, and cannot wear anything that reveals my arms. I can pull the skin up on my arm toward my armpit and gather about two or three inches, and my arm is literally thinner at the upper portion than at the lower portion. Is there any procedure that can fix this? Please help!

A: Arm skin laxity after lipo

Hello,

Lipousuction is designed to remove fat and does not result in skin or soft-tissue tightening. If you have excess laxity following liposuction that laxity will need to be corrected by a tightening or lift procedure. There are a number of different arm lift procedures. Discuss your options with your plastic surgeon. Ask lots of questions and make sure to look at the before and after photos of previous arm lift procedures the plastic surgeon has performed.
