Mini Arm Lift -- Anyone?
Anyone here get the arm-pit only done, and not have the scar that goes towards the elbow?
If so, how did you like it? Are you satisfied with the results?
My arms aren't too droopy, and I'd like to avoid the scar that goes down towards the elbow.

I wanted the mini arm lift but my surgeon said I would not be happy with it and he was right. I had the full one and I am very happy with the results. The scars have faded beautifully. I recall at least one person who posted recently who had it done. Sorry I can't remember the name though. Good luck.

I don't know anyone who has had the mini arm lift. However, I will have the complete job done when I finally decide when to do it. :)

We could learn a lot from crayons:
some are sharp, some are pretty,
some are dull, some have weird names,
& all are different colors....but they
ALL exist very nicely in the same box.

Hello,
I had the mini arm lift with just the scar in my arm pit. I did not have very much sagging skin and I did not want the scar going down my arm. I love the lift. It also took care of the excess skin I had in my armpit/side breast.
The scar starts at one end of the armpit and extends past the armpit and onto the upper portion of my back. THE SCAR IS NOTICABLE. If you are trying to avoid seeing a scar except in your arm pit, this will not work. I know that the scar will lighten but it is still quite pink right now. I am about 5 weeks post op so it still looks fresh.
Hope this information helps,
Lisa

I had a mini arm lift on 4/27. I have "before" pictures that my daughter took. I have a close up of the arm/arm pit. Now, at 6 weeks out, I need to take some "after" pictures.
The surgery helped, but I'm not as pleased as I'd hoped to be. I don't mind "the wave" - it was never an issue for me personally. What I did mind was my skin next to my arm pit looking like crepe paper. Like I said, the surgery did help.
If you will send me a PM, I'll save it as a reminder to let you know when I post my pictures.
