Exercise enthusiasts will tell you that maintaining upper arm strength and performing muscle toning exercises will fix the problem. While it may provide some improvement, no amount of muscle tone will get rid of excess skin or give skin back its elasticity. Fortunately, there are two solutions for women who are anxious to get rid of their “bat wings.”
Arm Liposuction is a great option for women with young, healthy skin, because it removes the fat but relies on the skin to retract. Dr. Newall can determine whether or not you are a good candidate for liposuction alone. Here is an example of arm liposuction:
For patients whose skin has stretched significantly, a brachioplasty or arm lift is the only way to get rid of excess sagging skin and restore arms to a lean, toned look. Observe this before and after set of a brachioplasty, or arm lift. Note the placement of the scar and the vast improvement that could not have been achieved through liposuction alone due to all the excess skin.
If you have gained and lost weight, a brachioplasty is likely your best option for having firm, tones arms again. Set up a consultation with Dr. Newall to determine which procedure would best fit your needs. Call 713.799.9999 to schedule.
