“Brachioplasty did wonders for self-estreem but left bad scar”
Arm lift: Worth it
Cost: $4,500
Pain: Mild
Pain: Mild
Arm lift satisfaction: Good
I had a brachioplasty a few months ago with an axillary incision only. My brachioplasty has done wonders for my self esteem! I now feel completely comfortable wearing tank tops and sleeveless dresses, the only issue I have is with the way my scar is healing. At least it is in my armpit so no one can see it unless I raise my arms. I would recommend this procedure to anyone concerned with the appearance of their arms!
I now have a hypertrophic, very thick and raised incision. I have had a series of kenelog injections to help the apperance of the scar but so far nothing has helped.

For the scar, get some organic wheat germ oil and rub on the scar very aggressively morning and night. You will be amazed at the results. Also, if you can find a practitioner with a cold laser, it will deactivate the scar and help with healing. Hope this helps!
