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!
Hello Kristy: As best I can tell from your photos I suspect you would do best with an arm lift; you can get a nice shape and I usually find that shape will trump the scar for most people. But by all means, seek expert opinion from consults with board - certified plastic surgeons familiar with this surgery. In recent years, I have become a bigger fan of brachioplasty and not found the scarring to be as bad as most patients anticipate, particularly with good placement of the scar. The shape and scar do take a long time to optimize; so be patient. Best of luck

Liposuction of arms will only remove fullness of arms. However excess skin will need arm lift for its removal. However a permanent arm scar, which only worsens with time is a price to pay for armlift. If you are willing to accept this trade off, do an arm lift.
If scar is not acceptable, then have a liposuction for some but not all improvement.
I am doing saline packing on the small wound but is there anything else to speed the healing? Also why are the compression garments worn for 6 wks plus. Thanks in advance
Patience is the key. You are doing right things. Juat give it more time. It is not unusual for minor wound seperation to take 4-6 weeks to heal completely.
