Four Month Arm Lift Update
$9,600
These 4 months have flown by. I can now do everything I did before the arm lift. It's so nice not to have flabby arms. Dr. Jugenburg did a great job with the incision which is healing nicely. The scar is still very red so I cover it with full cover F/X makeup ( available at Shoppers) . No more pain at all. Vey happy that I had them done.

The cover makeups really works! Will the scars ever totally heal? My next door neighbor had the same thing done and has a couple of long thin scars that don't seem to go away. She used scar cream to help heal them, but I am going to tell her about the cover makeup!
For sure...the tattoo cover make-up is really great. Make sure it's waterproof cover up b/c it doesn't get on your clothes as much. It's a trial by error to find what works the best. I suggest going to Sephora...they are the experts & can help find the right shade.
Thanks!
So glad you shared...... your arms look wonderful. I too am 61 and had an arm lift 3 months ago and can say our scars are on par with each other. Makeup indeed does help and I use over the counter Revlon Color Stay makeup foundation and spread a very thin layer onto the scar. I don't always do this but if I am going into the sun and I need SPF protection then this is what I do. However I wonder how the public perceives the scars. Part of me doesn't care because my arms are a thousand times better without the previous droopy and crapey skin. NO one has commented one way or another, what has been your response, and how do people / strangers react when you tell them your story? PS..... I would appreciate a picture that is taken more directly in a well lit area. It is very hard to see your great results in the shadows of trees......

Just over 2 months since arm lift
Really happy with how my arms look & feel now. I still have red scars but I cover them with a full cover waterproof makeup by Make up Forever from Sephora. They also have a make up to cover tattoo's which I tried a sample of & really liked. Both come in many shades to match your skin. I finally feel ok with wearing sleeveless tops. It was well worth having the surgery. I will post pic's later.
