Answer: Arm lift Based on your pictures it looks like you can benefit from an arm lift, but I don't think all stretch marks will be removed . Always see a board certified PSbest of luck

Answer: Arm lift brachioplasty remove stretch marks post op scars stretch mark removals weight loss plastic surgery Thank you for your questions regarding the arm lift or brachioplasty. In your case, from your picture, the arm lift will remove some of your stretch marks. However, I do not think an arm lift will remove all your stretch marks. You should reassess your arms once your weight is lost. I imagine once you lose five more stone that you will have a significant amount of excess arm skin and fat. If this is the case, I would probably suggest an arm lift. During the arm lift procedure, arm liposuction is performed and an incision is made from the armpit to the elbow. The procedure takes about three hours. The arm lift is done under general anesthesia. If you have a desk job, you should plan to take off to work two weeks from work. If your job entails more significant physical activity, you should plan to take off three to four weeks from work. I hope that I have answered your questions regarding arm stretch marks and the arm lift or brachioplasty procedure. If you have any more questions, please contact my office

Answer: Stretch marks... I appreciate your concern.I think most of the strech marks will be removed, but you should tell your surgeon this is a priority to decide on a posterior or anterior brachioplasty approach. The remaining stretch marks can be treated with a combination of Sculptra and microneedling.Good luck! Dr. ALDO

Answer: Arm Lift Hello, Thanks for sharing your pics. Arm lift involves removal of skin from medial arm to posterior arm so it can address only the stretch marks in this region. Though the stretch marks in other areas may improve after surgery it may require some non invasive modality for collagen induction. Consult a Board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Brachioplasty and stretch mark removal I don't think you will remove all of the stretch marks but even the remaining ones look better with the arm lift. The scar will take at least a year to mature.
