Brachioplasty/Arm Lift Question (if you have had one)
I am posting this to Plastics forum as well - but we are so much more active!
If you had your arms done, whi*****ision site did your doc use? Are you happy with the results?

My surgeon places the incision in the natural "valley" between the muscles on the inner part of the arm. That is where they are least visible. Yes, I am very happy with the results.
Please do NOT allow a surgeon to put the incision down the back of the arm so it is visible to everyone walking behind you! A woman I met a couple of years ago had hers done that way and they look terrible! She said her surgeon always does it that way, but I cannot imagine why...

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
I'm with Lora on this. Mine are on my inner arm. Not visible from the back. Only visible if I wave my arms around, which is not often. No one has ever mentioned my scars to me. I've seen many people with them on the back of the arm. VERY visible from behind. I would not have been happy with that.
I am extremely happy with my results. I get compliments from all the stepford-wives in my neighborhood.
