Thank you for reaching out with your question about whether an arm lift, or brachioplasty, can address arm creases or banding, and for providing your history and pictures. Yes, an arm lift or brachioplasty is indeed capable of eliminating or significantly reducing arm creases or banding. Current understanding suggests that these arm creases are often congenital in nature. It might be insightful to examine your baby pictures to see if these arm bands were present when you were an infant. Regardless of their origin, arm bands can be effectively resected during a brachioplasty procedure. The surgical approach to removing these bands may vary. They can be addressed directly or through techniques like a V to Y advancement flap or Z-plasty. Arm banding is actually more common than many people realize. A closer look at infants, whether in person or in photos, often reveals the presence of these arm bands in many babies. I hope this information has clarified your query regarding the effectiveness of an arm lift or brachioplasty in treating arm creases or banding. Wishing you the best of luck with your decision and potential procedure.
