A: Your arm lift procedure does look a little better near your at the upper part, but certainly not adequate. I have no idea what kind of arm lift was done to you, but my approach would be to perform a liposuction with Renuvion. The Renuvion may need to be circumferential. It is an internal radio-frequency probe that heats to 85 C. degrees, shrinking skin. The liposuction, of course, removes excess fat, and and the Renuvion tightens the remaining skin. This should work for you. If you still want more tightening after 6-9 months, a brachioplasty may be needed. The latter will disrupt your tattoo and leave a scar in the inner part of your arm. There should be no suture marks if done properly, just a straight line from the elbow to the armpit, and it will get the most tightening of any procedure. Most people want to avoid the scar, however. The lipo/Renuvion option should work.

A: This "slope" is called ectropion. t There are no non-surgical options. This is usually from some sort of surgery or an injury. The best result would be a surgery called a canthopexy, which is reattaching the tendon created where the upper and lower eyelids come together and attach to the bone. This must be performed by someone who specializes in such eyelid surgery, like a plastic surgeon or ophthalmic plastic surgeon. After examination, it may be determined that you need a small skin graft from the upper eyelid to the deficient skin in your lower eyelid. This should be taken care of soon because eventually you will probably get chronic dry eyes and even could get corneal damage due to the dryness. Good luck. Don't seek short-term solutions to this problem.
