I am 45 with loose skin on the forearms and I am so confused. I have seen 4 plastic surgeons 2 tell me that there is nothing that can be done because of the nerves in my forearms, but the other 2 says they can do it. The 2 surgeons that told me it can't be done said that they would consider it malpractice. Can it be done without it messing up my hands? They said that it would mess up the nerves and I wouldn't be able to use my hands. Need the truth please!!

Answer: Forearm lift Forearm lift is not done that frequently if ever. Therefore you will get many opposing opinions. The question is the scar better than the present look of the forearm? can this be done safely without interfering with hand function. Is this a risk you are willing to take?As a plastic surgeon I can think of very creative methods to do such surgery. But is it worth the risk? Because in the forearm and hand function is more important than aesthetics.
