Arm Lift After Weight Loss
Case 1 - Arm Lift
This 47 year old woman had undergone massive weight loss but was still having trouble with her arms fitting into her sleeves. When sleeveless, she was self-conscious about the way her arm skin would sway when her arms moved. An arm lift done from the back of the arm, yielded these results. Her clothes now fit better and due to the position of her scar, she is no longer self-conscious when going sleeveless.
Case 2 - Arm Lift
As a 62 year old woman, this patient was worried that her skin was poor quality and that an arm lift would not make much difference. Despite these reservations she proceeded with the surgery which she feels was very successful.
Case 3 - Arm Lift
This 54 year old woman was dissatisfied with her arms after her massive weight loss and underwent an arm lift to remove the excess skin. Despite the fact that she has long scars on her arms she feels the scar is difficult to see and is more than offset by her dramatic improvement.
