Anytime there is extreme weight loss, a patient may benefit from reduction of skin of the arms. A large arm in and of itself is usually not a candidate for brachioplasty. It usually requires hanging skin. Sometimes they are called bat wings. These require usually a seam on the inner part of her arm running in a natural groove from your armpit to your elbow. These scars can heal with thickening, however, given new scar treatments and improved suture technology, the ultimate results for this have improved from time past.
