I do have "bat wings," (Picture 1), but I think that's normal for a woman nearing 40, so I don't mind too much. My concern is the wrinkly texture of my stretch marks when my arms are at my sides (Picture 2). This makes me ashamed to wear anything sleeveless. I love to dance I'm longing to wear all the strappy numbers everyone else wears in dance competitions! The long scar from a normal arm lift seems like too much of a tradeoff, so would a mini arm lift solve my problem?

Answer: Arm lift Thanks for your question. An in-person consult will be needed to best determine the optimal procedure, but looking at your pictures I do not think that an arm lift incision limited to your arm pit region (mini) will give you the result that you want. These incisions can be placed towards the lower/inner as pect of the arm to make them as discrete as possible.

Answer: An arm lift could help you I think an arm lift could help you because it will tighten your skin. Although you are not a typical candidate for an arm lift, it will remove your stretch marks and give you tightened skin. The problem is that you will end up with a rather significant scar. Talk to your plastic surgeon to decide if it is the right procedure for you. The upper arms are often impacted by the aging process and may hold onto deposits of fat long after weight has been lost elsewhere on the body. If diet and exercise just aren’t cutting it, and you have a desire for arms that look toned and more attractive, then you’re in the right place. During this body contouring procedure, your plastic surgeon will trim away excess, hanging skin and remove stubborn deposits of fat. Then will pull your skin taut so that it conforms to the new contours of your arm. You will emerge from surgery looking firmer, fitter, and more youthful, with arms that better complement the rest of your figure.
