Hmm, I lost a lot of weight and do not have this. Try weight training so you have muscle to fill it out.

I had an arm lift because of saggy skin. I’m 62 and the doctor said that none of the less invasive procedures would work for me. The scars are pretty significant, so there is a trade-off. I’m hoping that time and possibly laser or cosmetic tattooing will make them less noticeable. Still, with makeup they aren’t that bad-looking, and definitely better than the bat wings I dealt with before.

What did it cost? How long was the recovery?

He will be able to tell you whether or not it will be sufficient in your case. I can’t quite remember the specifics, but the renuvion can contract the skin up to 25-30%, but a lot of other factors are also at play. Morpheus is really effective at additional tightening and firming, and if you have any stretch marks it’s amazingly effective against those.

This is very helpful, thank you! I keep hearing R and M are what to use, short of a full arm lift which I really don’t want.

No offense but I really don’t trust doctors in this area whatsoever at all. That goes both directions too. The ones who push surgery and the ones who push non surgical options. They all have a bias.

Sorry you feel that way. I’ve gotten excellent primary care and I thought the plastic surgeon who did my arm lift explained the procedure carefully and thoroughly, including the “downside” of the scars. I actually decided against the procedure in the office, and then independently changed my mind at home later on. There was no “pushing” of the surgery at all.

But are these permanent? I don’t think Morpheus is…

Ultherapy might work if the sagging is not severe.

Did Dr Ruff suggest surgery or did he think r & m would be sufficient from the get go?

Disagree.

It would be unhelpful to tell OP to waste money on creams that won't improve anything.

To be actually helpful-

OP, I recently learned that a good friend's mom had an arm lift some years ago. She needed a malignant mole removed on her upper arm and decided to do a lift at the same time. I see this woman at church every week and she sometimes wears sleeveless dresses. I've never once noticed any scars. Presumably if she was lifting her arms doing yoga or something you might see them, but in a regular social situation I've never noticed. She looks great.

OP, people answered you and you don’t like what they told you. Now you’re crashing out.

Seriously. No matter what, everyone (women and men) WILL eventually have loose skin on their arms.

If everyone has it why worry? If it bothers you so much just don't wear sleeveless tops.

Yes!! Holy crap have you seen Arnold Schwarzenegger’s loose skin. Truth.
