I Have Developed Sagging Upper Arms Due to Rapid Weight Loss,please Tell Me How to Fix It. i want non invasive method please advice.
One of the most frustrating outcomes of Body Contouring Surgery Following Weight Loss is the re-stretching of the skin, especially to the Upper Arms or Inner Thighs. The degree of stretching is due to many factors: age, genetics, amount of skin/fat removed during surgery. Some patients need a second operation to achieve their goals.
I recommend that you have a consultation with your Plastic Surgeon to explore the options that are available. I do not recommend any Laser Skin Tightening/Velashape treatments or any other non-surgical treatment based upon the information you provided in your question.
I will be getting an Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) in around 6 months. I want my arms to have a nice toned look like they used to have. Should I start weight training again before the surgery, or wait until after the procedure and the skin is tightened? Which one will get me the best, toned look?
A focused upper arm/shoulder exercise program combined with your Brachioplasty Surgery will give you the best contour. Your action plan should consist of:
1. Personal trainer who will help you isolate and develop the Deltoids/Biceps/Triceps muscles of the upper arm and shoulder. This will improve your "deep volume."
2. Brachioplasty Surgery (combined skin resection and SMARTLIPO MPX or Erchonia LIPOLaser Liposuction sculpting of the fatty tissue)
3. Laser Skin tightening/Velashape to improve the tone and stretchmarks of the skin.
Good Luck with your surgery!
I had a Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) done in early 2009. The surgeon and I agreed a revision would be a good idea to remove the remaining excess hanging skin. He has suggested doing this in his office with local anesthesia...I will be awake. Yikes..
Is it routine to do such a procedure in an office (not a surgery center) with only a local? I think if I see him cutting my arm flesh off I'll pass out! Has anyone removed excess skin all the way along the length of both arms in an office with just a local? Thanks for your input!
Scar Revision following Brachioplasty (Body Contouring Surgery) is a common procedure performed under local anesthesia in an office setting. However, Contour Revision combined with Scar Revision may require a return to the operating room with a greater level of anesthesia depending on the extent of the revision that you require.
Prior to revision of any Body Contouring Surgery site, it is important to compare, with your Plastic Surgeon, your pre-operative photos with your most recent post-operative photos. If your main goal is improvement in the appearance of the scar, and you only wish to have a portion of the scar revised, then an in office procedure is the most economical way to proceed. However, if you are unhappy with the shape of your arm (contour) as well as the look of the scar, then you may need a return visit to the operating room to achieve an optimum outcome.
A frank conversation with your Plastic Surgeon is the best way to proceed.
Good Luck!
