What Would be Best - An Arm Lift or Tuck?

I'm 28 years old. I've suffered with bat wings my whole life. I can never wear anything sleeveless and am extremely paranoid about my arms. I've come to the decision that surgery is the only option for me. Based on my photos is it the best option and will the scarring be worse than the bat wings? I'm desperate for help!

A: Surgical Options

Fortunately for you, you are very young and your skin may be able to retract well if you combine liposuction and a limited brachioplasty (arm lift with a minor incision in the armpit). I would have to examine you in person to determine the best plan of action for you, but from your pictures you have provided, I believe that may be a suitable option to address your upper- arm bat wings.

I have included a link below that may be of interest to you. Best of luck.

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: Eliminating Excess Skin

Excess skin in the arms is a common result for patients that have the liposuction procedure on their arms. Liposuction solely will remove the fat in the area, but it just depends on your skin quality and the way that it retracts. Some patient’s skin does not shrink back into place and this causes them to be unhappy with their results.

You should consult a board certified plastic surgeon to see if you are a candidate for a limited brachioplasty or a full brachioplasty. Limited brachioplasty involves a smaller incision in your armpit area, a full brachioplasty will have that same armpit incision but it will extend down to your elbow.
