This 47 -year- old woman had lost some weight but had always had large loose arms. She had been working out more- getting healthier and found that she was very self -conscious with her arms- especially when working out in the gym. She had what some call a “batwing” deformity ” where the upper arms are loose and flabby.
Solution
Dr. Glenn Lyle at Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center performed a brachioplasty or arm lift. This surgery is one of the simplest procedures to perform but execution is critical. Incision location is key. Unfortunately, a scar cannot be avoided with patients with lots of excess skin, so closure technique, scar management and location are very important.
Result
She recovered well and returned to light work outs in the gym within 6 weeks. She felt much better about her workouts and actually has lost more weight with her increased confidence and more efficient exercise regime.
Dr. Lyle offers Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) surgery to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms, creating a more sculpted and toned appearance. This procedure is ideal for individuals with loose or sagging skin due to aging or weight loss.
