Is it possible to fix the problems with this arm lift and get a better result? (Photos)

Dany33
I still have sagging arm skin. I was really surprised that more had not been taken off. It also left me with a round "poof" at the edge of both of my elbows. It swells up and becomes painful during exercise. At my post op appointments I asked my surgeon about it and they said it would go down with time. It never did. Is this the best result or can either of these issues be fixed? Will I need to redo the entire arm lift or are there alternatives?
