I'm 27 years old and had loose/sagged upper arms and had been hiding them forever. I desperately want to get rid of them. Will Thermage treatment remove the "bat wings"? How much reduction can one probably get from Thermage treatment? By the look of my upper arms, is the skin too loose for Thermage or arm lift is the only solution? I'm worried bout the scar though. Minimal Incision Brachioplasty or Traditional Brachioplasty?
