Also have loss of volume
Although tightening of arms (arm lift) is more frequently performed, tightening of forearm skin can be done in the same fasion. Scar can be placed on the back of the forearm or within medial aspect of the arm, close to the body. However, due to significant number of superficial nerves in the forearm, this is procedure that should be done by someone familiar with forearm/hand anatomy. This can be further combined with fat grafting and liposuction, as needed. Hope this helps.
Dear Rithmil,Thank you for your question. I understand your concerns about the changes in your forearm skin following weight loss. The good news is, there are permanent solutions available to improve the appearance of your forearms.Crepey, loose skin on the forearms is often a consequence of significant weight loss. This issue can be successfully addressed with a forearm reduction procedure, which I've performed multiple times. Similar to a brachioplasty (or arm lift), this surgery removes excess skin and fat from the forearms, which can help improve their overall contour and appearance.If necessary, this procedure can be performed alongside a brachioplasty to provide a more balanced and comprehensive upper body rejuvenation. For the loss of volume you mentioned, fat grafting may be a suitable option, where we transfer fat from another part of your body to restore volume to your forearms.It's important to have an in-person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss these options in detail. They can perform a physical examination, review your medical history, and help you decide on the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific needs and aesthetic goals.I hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.Sincerely,Dr. Katzen
