I am 50 yrs old and have this disgusting creepy wrinklied skin on the inside of my arms where the elbow bends. I am thin and lift weights on a regular basis. Haven't lost any weight. Is there any tightening procedure that might work on this area? Could this issue be caused from lack of iron?
Answer: Crepey skin on the inside of arms Crepey skin is just side effect of aging that has no real treatment. It is due to genetics, weight loss, and sun damage. Some people, when they lose subcutaneous fat with age, will develop crepey skin on their arms. This is not associated with massive weight loss, only the predictable loss of fat under the skin which starts in the fourth and fifth decades of life.

Answer: Wrinkeled skin of inner arm with brachoplasty or arm tuck Excess skin of the upper arm or wrinkles can be removed and arms tightened with an arm tuck or brachiplasty that hides the scar under the arm.

Answer: Excess arm skin and treatments In the case of a athletic thin woman such as yourself, the most likely reason for your wrinkled skin is natural aging processes in which the consistency and volume of fat below your skin changes, losing its support to the overlying skin and thus leading to wrinkles. Your skin also loses its elasticity with aging, sun damage and genetic influences, preventing the natural recoil to compensate for loss of subcutaneous fat. There are many non-invasive means to tighten the skin such as microneedling, radio-frequency skin treatments, skin peels, etc. Depending on the amount and distribution of wrinkling, a formal arm lift (brachioplasty) may be best. I would suggest consulting with a plastic surgeon for further guidance. Thanks!

Answer: Wrinkled Skin on the Inside of Arm There are many reasons for crepey skin underneath the arms. This may be a function of aging, weight loss, natural skin tone, etc. The treatment options for this type of skin range along the spectrum of plastic surgical care. Options include laser therapy, skin peels, radiofrequency tightening and surgical skin removal and tightening. The most definitive treatment is surgical intervention, but it does come at the cost of a scar, generally hidden on the inner portion of the arm/elbow. The results are generally very good and appreciated by the patients. It's critical that you seek the advice of a surgeon who is certified by the American Board of plastic surgery and has extensive experience in body contouring.I wish you the best, Dr. Gabbay.
