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?
Of course you don't "want" a full arm lift but it is rarely the case that you won't need one for the best results. With no photos we can't say but if the skin is lax anywhere near the elbow, nothing short will affect this area even though your fingers might be able to do it.
I had lipo Sept. 09, and this was performed to remove slight wings under my arms. I am 5'6" and weigh 118 lb., but the result was less than desirable. I now have very loose and wrinkled skin that is very embarrassing, and cannot wear anything that reveals my arms. I can pull the skin up on my arm toward my armpit and gather about two or three inches, and my arm is literally thinner at the upper portion than at the lower portion. Is there any procedure that can fix this? Please help!
It is hard to determine the specific surgical procedure that would be best for you without an exam, but it sounds like you are a candidate for brachioplasty (arm lifting) surgery to address the loose skin in your upper arms. Liposuction removes the excess fat, but does not address skin laxity and can make the skin appear looser if there is not enough skin elasticity to retract around the treated areas.
Incision length and pattern vary based on the amount and location of excess skin to be removed, as well as the judgment of your surgeon. Incisions are generally placed on the inside of the arm or on the back of the arm and may extend from the underarm (axilla) to just above the elbow. If additional fat is to be reduced during your arm lift, it will be excised at that time.
