Well, I still want to lose that 20, so I joined the gym on Sunday and plan to lift weights and do cardio. I'm 28, 5'1, and 160lbs. I plan to get to 140 and stay there. Anyway, here are two pics of my arms. I am still not happy with them after surgery and I was wondering if I lost 20 lbs and lifted weights as I lost, if I could tone these arms or if I'm going to need surgery again? It was a rough surgery and I really don't want to have to go through it again.

Answer: Weight loss after arm lift Hi Tessa - Congratulations for the weight loss and your commitment to further improvement! It's hard to say what the effect of anticipated exercise and weight loss will be. You may gain some further laxity or the arm may just "shrink" proportionately with the weight los and exercise. I think that your best course is to go for the weight loss and see what will happen to your arms. In general, I wouldn't consider revision for brachioplasty for at least a year after the operation. Best wishes!

Answer: Brachioplasty It would be my recommendation to continue to loose the weight and see how things look. I suspect you will be fine. The most that could be needed would possibly be a small bit of liposuction. I usually encourage all of my patients who have some sort of body contouring procedure to try to drop their weight some after the surgery. This typically exentuates the result and just makes things even better. Good luck.
