What is the best way to minimize scarring from a brachioplasty? (Photo)
AvaFernSep 15, 2014
I am 30 yo, 145 lbs, & 5’3. As a result of repetitive weight loss/gain, I now have wings. I have addressed my other skin issues, however I'm conflicted regarding a brachioplasty. The idea is for people to not realize that I was once fat and with either wings or the scar to my elbow, that is exactly what they will immediately see. In your experience, is there any way (laser scar therapy, type/ location of incision, etc) that the scar can be made almost invisible following surgery? Thank-you!
