I Don't Need an Arm Lift, I Simply Need It Pulled and Tucked Up, Possible? I don't need an arm lift. My skin is simply going south due to gravity. If I could have a tuckup in my armpit it would solve my problem. Is this possible?

A: Arm Lift Options

In selected patients with mild loose skin in the most upper part of the arm, a lift into the arm pit can be considered. But in most patients, a full arm lift is better. You should discuss this with a Board Certified plastic surgeon

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: Arm lifts and tucks work best when the arm skin has lost its elasticity.

It is impossible to know the quality and elasticity of your upper arm skin with these photos. If you have good elasticity liposuction or coolsculpting (1-3 treatment sessions) may be all that you would neeed. If your skin does not contract after these procedures a smal skin excision may be necessary to removethe excess skin.
