I'm embarrassed by the fact that I'll be having an arm lift and am trying to think of an excuse I can use to explain the scars. Can anyone think of any other kind of surgery that would cause such scars or another way of explaining them?

Answer: Arm Lift Scar There is no procedure yet that will make a scar disappear completely. However, there are treatments to make a scar less noticeable. These include: Surgical Scar Revision: This is a method of removing a scar and rejoining the normal skin. Wide scars can often be made thinner. Long scars can be made shorter. Using broken-line incisions can make scars harder to notice. Sometimes, a surgeon can hide a scar by redirecting it into a wrinkle or a hairline. Dermabrasion: A surgeon uses an electrical dermabrasion machine to remove the top layers of skin. This process gives the skin a smoother surface. Dermabrasion is used for treating acne scars, pockmarks, some surgical scars, or minor irregularities. Laser Scar Revision: Another method of improving scars is laser scar revision. High-energy light is used to treat damaged skin. Different lasers are available for treating a variety of scars. For example, a pulsed dye laser uses yellow light to remove scar redness and to flatten raised scars (hypertrophic scars or keloids). Hope this help's!!!!

Answer: Excuse for Brachioplasty or arm lift surgery No one should be embarrassed to have cosmetic surgery. Brachioplasty surgery is one of the most popular surgeries in the United States. Currently, it is one of the most common surgeries performed especially in the era of weight-loss surgery. There is nothing to be embarrassed about to have the surgery performed. In fact, there are some congenital deformities or conditions.leading to excess skin which require the skin to be removed surgically due to irritation, itching and pain. Unfortunately, insurance does not cover some of these debilitating conditions. Brachioplasty may require a full incision on the arm or a small incision in the axilla or alternatively a newer technique called SmartLipo which requires no incision and uses a laser to remove fat and most importantly to tighten the skin with no incision is a very popular and effective technique with new technology. I have found this to be extremely effective in my patients which would have otherwise would have had an unsightly incision on their arm. Best of luck in your endeavors.
