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!
Your surgeon can best advise you, but from your pictures it appears you will need an arm lift (Brachioplasty). Developing somegood upper body musculature will also help.
Congratulations on the weight loss!
I know it depends greatly on the individual, but could you give me an idea of which Arm Lift scar position is favoured by most women, inner arm incision or incision at the junction of the inner and posterior aspects of the arm? I read that the skin on the back of the arm is tougher than inner arm skin and the scar may be pulled more centrally to the back of the arm. Is that a frequent complication? Thank you.
You are correct, the scar will depend upon the patient - by their anatomy, and not their preference. For really loose skin (usually following significant weight loss) the large amount of excess skin will require a scar along the inner upper arm that goes from the elbow to the armpit. For lesser amounts of skin, a scar entirely in the armpit (mini-lift) may be enough. Additionally, liposuction may reduce the excess fat. For even lesser problems, liposuction alone may improve the upper arm.
