I have stretch marks all over my upper arms from weight gain. I've noticed that if I pull on the skin that they become less noticeable. I'm open to getting a mini arm lift but not a full one. Is a mini arm lift enough to reduce the appearance of my stretch marks?
After weight loss, I have loose skin, but its only on the inside of my arm the last 2 inches or so above my elbow. Certainly dont want to do a full arm let, but wasnt sure if a short scar lift is possible in this area?
Hello Everyone! I hope you're feeling wonderful. I recently lost 117 pounds and currently weigh 205 pounds. My arms right now is my biggest insecurity. I was wondering if an arm lift is recommended for my size. I am also 5'6. I really need some help. As you can see in the picture, the shirt is a size small but it makes my arm look horrible. I also wanted to know if the scar is really bad? Any advice is appreciated! Thank you so much! Be safe!
Hello, Hypothetically speaking, what happens if you have larger arms and have lipo and skin removal to the upper arm which then becomes smaller than your forearm? Would a plastic surgeon realize this could be a possibility as theyre performing lipo & brachioplasty to your arms or would it be a surprise once Im healed and notice my forearm circumference is larger than my upper arms? Would I need to then come back for forearm lipo and lift? Ive read on this website that forearms are not a popular body region for lifts/lipo. What can be done for the forearms?
I had arm Lipo with Renuvion in November 2023. I am very happy with the results except for this small area of loose skin where my upper arm meets my armpit. Would I be a candidate for a mini arm lift or is there another procedure to remove this small portion of loose skin? It is there when I raise my arms above my head, and the attached pictures are of me flexing and not flexing.
I had bilateral arm lift 1 yr ago. Both slimmer with right noticeably larger and saggier. Smaller bat wings. Opinions vary from live with it to redo it entirely but include lipo. Is there a lesser surgery or will I remain unsatisfied? I find myself once again hiding my arm which defeats the purpose of the first surgery. Would any nonsurgical options be of value or just dumping money? Cryo, lipo, Bodytite, shapewear ,injections? Routinely exercise and eat well per recommendations,
I had a MMO 1/14/25. Recovery was easy with minimal issues other than spitting sutures. I rejected almost all, including thicker deep sutures. Before rejecting, they would get infected looking spots that I could lightly press on, and they would open with puss coming out. I'd clean them up, and within a few hours, the Stitch would come out, and it would clear up. I kept a good eye on all of my incisions, so I was able to catch it quick because some of them would just open up on their own and I would have a big hole. I cleaned it up and put a steri strip over it so it was still getting air and everything but being held together so it wouldn't open further. At one point under one of my breasts, they weren't opening/draining, but were really warm, red, and inflamed with puss underneath the skin, so I had to request antibiotics. Now to my questions with ext brachioplasty. Since HS affects the armpit, I am more concerned about stitches rejecting, and infection. Can an ext brachioplasty be performed without dissolvable sutures? Can it be done with glue and tape? I have seen a few with staples but not often, and they've said it was painful with staples, so I don't really want that. I've also seen a few with plastic Clips over the incision but I don't know what they were called or where I saw those, so I don't know what to ask for that. I am not sure if regular sutures would reduce the issue of spitting, or if I could avoid sutures all together?
Hi! I have larger arms, which doesnt bother me as much as them folding over when theyre resting by my side. Even when Ive been on the smaller side (size 12), I had this issue in high school. Im wondering if lipo with rejuvion would work or if I need a full arm lift? Again, not really self-conscious about my arms being bigger, just the hang near the armpit that creases.
I had arm lift 5 weeks ago and arms were reduced only 3cm or one inch. After six hours of surgery, I found out only 3 days ago that he did lipo and if caused my arms to swell so he couldn't take more tissue. He thinks I reacted to the infiltration fluid used for lipo. I was never told this after surgery - only three days ago. He offered a revision. Is this a plausible story or is something else wrong.
