I am 30 yrs old,124 pds/size 2-4 but my arms seem super flabby and out of proportion with my body. I was obese when I was a child and ever since it seems I have carried excess weight on my arms. I was a size 6-8 until a few months ago and thought that was the problem but now I am starting to believe it is excess skin. I am making an appointment for an augmentation after I have a baby (I am not yet pregnant) and wanted to fix this problem as well but was curious which procedure is needed? Thanks!
Based on the photos, the best solution is an arm lift procedure. Liposuction could make the problem worse by creating more loose skin. Please seek consultation by a surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and look at pictures so that you are comfortable with the location and the visibility of the scar!
Good luck!
I gather that the incision for a brachioplasty can be on the inner arm or the back of the arm. If the latter, is the scar dead centre down the back of the arm or more to the side where the inner arm meets the back of the arm
The usual position of scars after a brachioplasty is on the inner aspect of the arm. The other position is where the inner aspect meets the back of the arm (posterio-medial). Both scars tend to spread but I have found that the scarring on the medial aspect of the arm is usually more prominent. My patients prefer the posterio-medial scar because it is not in their direct line of vision.
