I use to be 250lbs lost a total of 100lbs in past 10yrs by exercising & dieting. I didn’t like to wear short sleeves dress because of my loose skin. The doctor remove 1 lbs from each arm and I still have wobbly arms. I cry every morning and night when I see myself in the mirrors & this nasty scar – I think I would of saved my money and stay the same since not much different after the surgery, what can be done? Can the doctor fix this? I was expecting a thin scar. Please help!
Thick scars are very common after brachiplasty. Aside from my patients using silicone gell such as Biocornium (no disclosures) I offer a deep Erbium YAG treatment as well as injection of kenalog to improve the scars. If that is unsuccessful, I suggest scar revision with surgery.
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!
Improving arm contours and aesthetics is a common concern of patients. Often there is a question of whether liposuction or brachioplasty (arm lift) will be the best choice. Of course, the best way to determine the procedure that will provide the result you are hoping to achieve is through a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. With the world wide web, patients are now frequently seeking opinions and consultations from surgeons from different areas of the country and are often willing to travel to seek out care, therefore plastic surgeons are often asked to give opinions based on history and photographs, and certainly this is done frequently on this site. From your information and photos, I would say that an arm lift (which I often combine with simultaneous liposuction) will be the procedure that will achieve the best result. Unless there is very good skin tone and excess fat is the sole problem in the arm, lipo is often not the best procedure for this particular area. Arm lifts often require an extended length of scar and like all procedures, the healing is largely dependent on the patient's natural healing ability. The incision is placed in an area of the arm that is least notable and is typically well tolerated by the patient as a trade-off for a significant improvement in arm contour.
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!
In the majority of revisions that I do for the brachioplasty procedure the office setting is most appropriate . This is mainly because there are typically those areas of the scar which didnt heal well that require only minor revisions, or there are areas of skin that have some assymetry or redundancy that may allow for excision under local anesthesia
