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.

Arm Lift, Breast Lift and Hernia Repair All at Once?

I had gastric bypass 4 years ago and lost 200 pounds. I have extra skin on my arms I would like removed and I also would like a Breast lift or Breast implants. Last year, I had emergency bowel obstruction surgery and got a large hernia as a result. I want to get all three procedures done at one time: Arm lift, Breast lift, and hernia repair. Is that possible?

A: combining cosmetic procedures with hernia repair can be done safely depending on the patients health..

Combining procedures can often be done safely depending on the complexity of the procedures, the health of the patient and the risk factors for complications. Each patient must have a thorough evaluation prior to having longer operations that have a large elective or cosmetic component. It is best to have your surgeons and your medical doctor review your specific situation and health issues to evaluate whether you are a good candidate.
