Answer: Arm lift candidate Thank you for your question. With age and/or weight changes, the upper arms can hold a lot of excess fatty tissue and develop skin laxity. An arm lift procedure helps to contour the upper arms by reducing excess skin and fat. The incisions can be hidden in the armpit for those with a moderate degree of laxity or along the vertical length of the upper and inner arm for those with more skin excess. If you lost more weight and continue to have developing concerns with the upper arms, then you can consider a second arm lift.The results are extremely satisfying. I would recommend that you visit with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss your options in more detail.

Answer: Secondary arm lift surgery
If you healed well from your first procedure and simply lost more weight and the skin is now loose again, then you are likely a good candidate for another arm lift. Make sure that your diet is normal and that you have normal protein levels. The secondary arm lift should have similar results, if not better.
