Loose skin by bicep after significant weight loss. What will help? (Photos)

Question

Hello, I’m in my 30s and after significant weight loss have loose skin on my lower bicep. I’ve already done Morpheus 8 5 times which helped the shape but didn’t address the crepe skin or texture. In fact the crepe skin might be worse. I am thinking of doing sofwave but would love to hear other suggestions.

You might wish to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist injection expert. I have personally been using HA skinboosters and HA bioremodeling agents, such as Skinvive, for crepey skin on the upper arms, upper thighs, abdomen and chest for many years with gratifying results. Optimal results typically require a series of treatments. Hope this helps and best of luck.

The reason it’s called an elbow crease is because the skin creases in that area in every single individual. If you didn’t have the extra skin when your arm was straight, you would not be able to straighten it. But when you’ve bend the elbow, you will always see extra skin folding. I’m sure that it’s somewhat more noticeable to you since you’ve lost the weight, but you don’t necessarily have to do anything about it. However, if it bothers you so much so, you can have Renuvion tissue tightening in the area of the hole upper arm in order to create a better outcome. I hope this helps and good luck from Leonard Grossman MD organic Plastic Surgery in New York City.
