NewImage.com Tip: Healing Scars After Brachioplasty (Arm Lift Surgery)
Brachioplasty, or arm lift surgery, is often needed once a patient has experienced a large amount of weight loss and needs to have the remaining skin tucked. It's mainly a cosmetic procedure, as there's really no medical reason to have the skin removed. However, men and women can experience a lot of discomfort when the excess skin presses or rubs against the body.
A wonderful invention for post-surgery brachioplasty (arm lift) scars is a scar reduction sheet. This self-adhesive sheet -- something like a large Band Aid -- is made of breathable, flexible, waterproof silicone. Because it is lightweight, it does not restrict movement as you heal. The sheets are designed to reduce scarring dramatically, and can be used on old scar tissue, even keloids. The sheets are also great to use on mastoplexy (breast lift) scars. Speak to your cosmetic surgeon about where to buy them, and whether s/he recommends them for your type of procedure.

NewImage.com Tip: Upper Arm Liposuction: When to Do it & What to Expect
One of the hardest areas for women to keep firm as they age is their upper arms. No matter how many triceps exercises you do, after a while the elasticity of you upper arm skin will break down. additionally, if you have lost a lot of weight, loose skin is left behind on your arms. Toning it up can be nearly impossible.
In either case choosing a procedure such as brachioplasty (arm lift) or upper arm liposuction may be ideal for you. Arm lifts involve removing and tucking excess skin. Arm liposuction assists in removing excess fat with the insertion of a small tube, called a cannula, through a small incision in the skin. The tubes is moved back and forth, suctioning out excess fat and flushing it out through the the cannula.
You'll have to wear compression sleeves to reshape the arm as it heals, but the results are spectacular. Being comfortable wearing sleeveless shirts again is often incentive enough to undergo the surgery!
