Hi, my skin was damaged after gaining and loosing about 140lb 10 years. I have stretch marks down my upper arms and the skin is loose, causing it to ripple when I flex my arms. Please let me know if you think an arm lift would help improve the appearnace of my upper arms, specifically: would it remove the loose skin present and any of the stretch marks? Thanks.
Thank you for the question and pictures.
You should be very proud of your significant weight loss; unfortunately, patients who have lost this much weight tend to have “loose skin” that is a constant reminder of where they have been.
I think you may be an excellent candidate for arm lifting surgery. Arm lifting is an great procedure to improve the contour of the arms and remove redundant skin and adipose tissue; the downside is a relatively high rate of unsatisfactory scarring and the need for revisionary surgery.
It may behoove you to visit with well experienced board certified plastic surgeons.
Best wishes.
Two weeks ago, I had Tummy Tuck, Arm Lift, Back Rolls Lift, with over 72 inches of stitches. Everything looks great. Swelling was unnoticeable, no pain, no infection, no odor. I have oozing on my right arm. There are 12 inches of stitches in that area. About 1 1/2 section on each end, there is a steady ooze. I apply a sanitary napkin on my arm every 12 hours. What else can I do to stop it? It's been 2 weeks and I will get my last 3 drains out tomorrow.
Congratulations on having undergone the arm lifting surgery.

Drainage from the incision line may be related to lymphatic fluid drainage or maybe sign of infection. Either way, your plastic surgeon will be able to diagnose and treat you after examination.

Iam 19 yrs old & I went through a growth spurt a couple of yrs ago. I have stretchmarks under my arms, or the "bat wing" area & on lower my sides. Iam thinking of getting surgical excision, to remove them, would that be any help?
Thank you for the question.
