Are the scars visible after an arm lift?
Unfortunately, the scars are visible after an arm lift because the scar extends from the armpit to the elbow. The scar is placed along the inside surface of the arm so it is not noticeable when your arms are resting at your sides. Although the improvement can be dramatic in the right patient, I always counsel my patients that if they will not accept noticeable scars, they probably should not consider an arm lift.
