Who is a candidate?
If you have unsightly sagging skin on the upper arms due to aging, genetics, weight loss, or from having bariatric surgery.
Intended results?
Reduction or elimination of excess skin and fat from the upper arms.
Procedure description?
The procedure is usually done under general anesthesia. In order to remove the unwanted skin, an incision is required that runs from near the elbow into the armpit. There is also a minimal scar incision that is in the armpit itself. Although the surgeon tries to place the incision in the most inconspicuous location (inner arm toward the back), some scarring will always be visible.

Swelling and bruising gradually disappear over 3-4 weeks. Most all swelling is gone in 3-6 months.
The scars fade in 6-24 months depending on your skin. An additional procedure that may enhance the result is Liposuction of the upper arms or axillae.
