Answer: Arm lift arm reduction brachioplasty arm lift expert arm lift revision brachioplasty revision re-do arm lift arm lift Hello Lati77, thank you for your question regarding an extreme amount of skin after your arm lift and tummy tuck and how you can treat these areas. Thank you for your history and your pictures. Congratulations on your weight loss. Amazing accomplishment! Great job! Regarding your arms, you will need an arm lift, arm reduction, or brachioplasty revision. During your revision, you absolutely must have arm liposuction. Arm liposuction will remove your remaining excess arm fat. You can have the arm skin removed during that same surgery or even at a later surgery (for the best results). Also, your arm lift scar needs to be revised. The new arm lift incision should be made about 1 mm above your current arm lift incision and extend to your elbow. Using this arm lift technique of arm liposuction and surgical resection of excess arm skin and fat, your waddle of excess arm skin and fat should be permanently eliminated. There is no need to wait one year after your arm lift surgery. I suggest waiting at least two or three months from your original arm lift surgery before a second arm surgery is planned. However, waiting an entire year has no benefit. Therefore, I vote for revision arm surgery to include arm liposuction. I hope I have answered your question regarding an extreme amount of skin and fat left over after an arm lift and tummy tuck. Good luck.

Answer: Still an extreme amount of skin after arm lift and tummy tuck. How can I treat this? Congrats on your weight loss! Generally speaking-it's best to arrive at ideal weight prior to body contouring procedures. Based on your photos it appears that you would would benefit from a revision arm lift to remove the additional excess skin. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS
