I am 69 years old and in very good shape. I look about 50. I have had other cosmetic work through the years. While I knew going into the procedure that a full arm lift is better than a mini one, I didn't want to deal with the long scar and wanted just the hidden armpit one. My only concern was crepey upper arms anyway, not the sagging aspect. My surgeon who is excellent said that any hanging skin wouldn't be affected much but that the crepiness would be gone. I'm sorry to say that that didn't occur. So I would tell people considering an arm lift to skip the mini and go for the full arm lift if you don't mind the scars or mind years waiting for them to fade.

I had a mini arm lift with the scar just in the arm pit area but I didn't have as much loose skin as you did. IMO, you were not a good candidate for this surgery. Even with the very little loose skin I had, I wish I had the vertical incisions too. My Dr. warned me ahead of time that I would have a perfect result with the vertical cuts too but I was afraid of the scars. BTW, my arm pit scars are almost gone and it has only been 6 weeks. My Dr. wanted to do about 4 inches down vertically. I am so mad I didn't take her advise and do it.
