Can Fillers Be Injected in the Fold of the Arm?

Question

Can fat, Juvederm or some other filler be injected into the fold of the arm? I have very loose crepey skin there and I'd like to try and gain some volume.  I'm only 40 and my arms look they're from a 55-year-old.

Hi Ann,
Fillers will not help as you would need far too much.
Accent XL has been used in our office over the past 2 years with nice results.  It is a series of radiofrequency treatments that feels like a warm massage.
Good luck and be well.

There has been a report of injecting a hyaluronic acid similar to Juvederm, in the skin of the arm with improvement. One possible side effect is that the fold of the arm has such thin skin, that the filler might be visible as lumps.

I would discourage you from contemplating fillers for the arm. It would be unlikely to achieve a satsifactory result and would require extensive amounts of product. The results would be temporary.

Farbod Esmailian, MD · Answer

Fillers in the arm would requires lots and lots of product, way too much.  It is not reasonable or financially feasible and unlikely to produce a result that you or your plastic surgeon would be happy with.

	Remove the loose skin is what is generally done to help smoothen and tighten the arms.

Injecting fillers in the arms fold will probably not last long enough and is not cost effective plus the material may cause some lumpiness
Thermage and Fraxel laser treatments may be better choices for arms to get some tightening, although multiple treatments maybe necessary.
Thermage new body tips have improved and we are seeing better results than the previous body tips.
