Brachiplasty? - ThinnerTimes

is anyone here having their arms done? I'm 21 years old and i've noticed that most of my problem is not the stomach and thighs its the arms. it keeps my from wearing my true size in shirts and the skin really gets irritating. I guess part of it is my family has flabby arms (my grandma did and her mom etc.) so I'm really considering this. any pros or cons? besides the scar that doesn't bother me just one more battle scar.

I think there is also a video of them actually doing one - which I watched for 35 seconds before almost passing out. But you may be much stronger than I am...

Anyway - this is in Iowa but has tons of info.

I had one done a few years back. I have super bad scars from it and probably wouldn't do it again - but then again my scars are usually worse than other people's.

my wife had one a few years back after her weight loss ... and it did not work out as well as expected - scars are bad, not enough size reduction, and it was a slow heal ... we have been told this particular procedure is difficult and often does not pan out as well as expected - personally I think it all relates to the surgeon's expertise and experience .. so choose your doc carefully

I had it done, and I have had wonderful results. The scars are the worst of any, but still not bad. My plastic surgeon is wonderful, but that is here in Georgia, Dr.Kavali, I owe her so much!!! You just have to remember you trade skin, for scars!!

I had mine done too......and I prefer the scars to the skin......just my preference.
