Thank you for your questions regarding forearm skin wrinkling which is justbeginning to show. Forearm skin wrinkling is not an uncommon problem. Typically,this is due to aging skin and sun exposure. Conservative treatments includeThermage. If the skin wrinkling becomes severe, you may need a forearmreduction. During a forearm reduction, excess forearm skin is directly excised.When considering a forearm reduction, please seek an experienced,board-certified plastic surgeon with years of experience. I hope that I haveanswered your question, if you have any more questions regarding forearmreduction, please call my office.Sincerely,Dr. Katzen
Most likely, you will find non-surgical treatments are the way to go for the forearm area. Treatments such as Sculptra and lasers can be useful. Not many surgeons offer operations for this area. Best wishes. Dr. Aldo
Hello!!Thanks for the question and provided information as well. Without pictures it is hard to give you a recommendation. I recommend you to make an appointment with a board plastic surgeon for a good evaluation and to talk about your goals.Good luck :)
For a long time, we had very little to offer in improving forearm skin laxity and sun damage changes. Standard brachioplasty procedures are designed to address the upper arms only. However, newer laser procedures can be very beneficial. These may include BBL (broad band light) which can reduce hyperpigmentation, and induce collagen production to improve skin health.
We do perform a forearm lift, this is an incision from your inner part of your forearm up to your wrist . It is a separate procedure from the arm lift .And usually it gives you a good result.Take care and best wishes.

Dear SpaceSushi93 Thanks for your question. Time to return to work is depending on the type and intensity of work you do. Usually the wounds need 2-3 weeks to heal ( close and seal) and potentially after that you may go back to work providing you were your compression garment for more support....
You seem to be healing well, arms take bit longer for swelling to go down you just have to be patient and wait a few months continue to follow up with your PS.
Thank you for your question regarding the possibility of performing arm lifts under local anesthesia in an office setting. There are five different types of arm lifts: the mini arm lift or crescent lift, modified incision, modified longitudinal incision, longitudinal incision, and an incision...
Thank you for reaching out and providing your history along with photos of your arms. From what you've shared, I recommend starting with a conservative approach. Given your age and skin condition, more invasive treatments like an arm lift or reduction seem premature. Chemical peels, especially...
