How to Correct Poor Mini Arm Lift Results? I had a mini arm lift and now have a web between the chest and upper arm! Not only was the procedure ineffective, the skin pulls between the side of the chest wall and arm to create a web when the arm is raised. It is also uncomfortable as it pulls. Can this be corrected with a full brachioplasty? If not, what can be done to correct this?

A: Mini Brachioplasty vs Full Brachioplasty

Different options are available for you. Either a scar contracture release can be performed like a z plasty or the surgery can be converted to a full brachioplasty which will improve the results of the skin tightening in the arm even more.

Hope that helps.

Good luck.

Arm Lift Recovery I'm thinking about an arm lift and just wondering what to expect. What's the recovery like after the arm lift? What can I expect in terms of downtime and scarring?

A: Arm Lift Recovery

This is a very satifying surgery and has a short recovery for the gains you get. Most of my patients need about 2-3 days of recovery and are back at work as long as it is a desk job at about 3-5 days.

Arm movement at the shoulder is restricted for the first 4 weeks. After that there are no restrictions.

Good luck.

	“Please Help - Horrible Brachioplasty...” Hello; I am very depressed and in despair.... I had what was supposed to be a limited incision brachioplasty. I have never been heavy, but had large upper arms. At any rate, this doctor took too much skin to the extent I now have webbing and restriction of arm movement due to the fact he took so much skin. He then did 4 revisions to attempt to correct what he did, which made things worse... more
	“Almost Five Years out and Scars Are...” I know many people have a wonderful result with this surgery, but I am one of the ones who developed thick, itchy, raised and bumpy hypertrophic scars.

	“Brachioplasty Did Wonders for...” I had a brachioplasty a few months ago with an axillary incision only. My brachioplasty has done wonders for my self esteem! I now feel completely comfortable wearing tank tops and sleeveless dresses, the only issue I have is with the way my scar is healing. At least it is in my armpit so no one can see it unless I raise my arms. I would recommend this procedure to anyone concerned with the... more
