Is It Possible to Get Rid of These Indents ( As I Refer to Them As E's) in my Arms with out a Arm Lift?

Hi can good lipo do the trick or is having a scar my only option? Also I was born with these indentations; however ironically the skin around that area is fairly tight. Also I was heavier in the past and lost weight; however my arms (well the indents/rolls have seemed to become more defined not in a good way :/ Ive searched this site endlessly and have not come across anyone with arms like mine. Thanks for your time in advance!

Arm lift - dealing with creases

Since you are trying to avoid an armlift, discuss with with plastic surgeon, liposuction and perhaps even the option of ultrasonic liposuction or laser liposuction.

Unfortunately, the problems you're having are associated not only with excess fatty tissue, but also skin laxity. Any significant alternative to an arm lift does not exist, and an arm lift is the only surgical technique that will eliminate... more

Arm Lift

You need a good examination to determine the best approach. You may benifit from liposuction and a T type of incision for arm lift or modified arm lift.

Indents in my Arms

These indents are related to tightness in the arm skin, not so much excess fat. I think that liposuction is likely to accentuate what bothers you in that the skin above the indentation will be looser than it is now. The solution to this would be an arm lift. Only an in person exam could tell, but it may be possible to do with less than the usual length of incision. Thanks for your question, and for the attached photos. Best wishes.
