Can arm lifts correct the large size of my upper arms?
Excess in upper arm size (excluding muscle size) may be due to excess skin, excess fat, or a combination of both. Selection of the best procedure in each case is determined by examination of the cause. When there is lots of excess skin with minimal fat deposits, removal of a strip of that skin is performed on the inner aspect of the upper arms. Every effort is made to attempt to hide the scar on the inside of the arm. In some cases involving both skin excess and fat excess, it is often recommended that the patient have syringe liposuction performed prior to excess skin removal. This permits the doctor to effectively reduce the volume of the arm dimension coming from the fat tissues, followed in several months by the removal of the actual hanging skin excess.
