Batwings how much do they weigh???

How much do they weigh? I am considering Plastics on my arms. Approx. how much skin weight is removed? My arms are pretty bad....sad actually. I lost 175 lbs and I have poor genetics in the arm dept. My Mom had bad droppy arms and she was never super obese....just alot of skin on the arms. Is thre 2lbs of skin on one arm or less. Just wondering if anyone knows approx. weight of skin removal after plastics? Ty Sandy in Tucson

I think part of your answer is in your question...genetics = everyone is different for different reasons. There was a thread on the plastics forum the other day about "skin weight" I believe in reference to the tummy tuck, check out the variance in responses. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/plasticsurgery/postdetail/21163.html?vc=0 It will be interesting to see actual numbers, try this question over there, and we can see. I have no fat left in my "wings" and they are nowhere near what I've seen, but I am definitely having them removed, I can not imagine they weigh even a pound, they are just very thin wrinkley flaps.

I had my panni removed and arms done back in September. They removed approx 5 pounds total on the 2 procedures. My arms weren't a pretty site, let me tell you. They're still not skinny (and I'll admit I don't exercise), but its so nice to be able to get into sleeves . . .

I would love to have mine done but insurance doesnt cover an am sure it is very costly .. I think each persons would weigh differently. I only have skin left , hangs down about and inch if I hold my arms out to the side. Anyone know what it costs to have the arms done on a self-pay .. Thanks ,, Shirl

Shril - I'm having mine done with Dr. Bunch in Tuscaloosa and I'm paying $2600. Hope that helps.

Had my arms done along with other stuff, but the arms alone were around $2,600 and I love the results!!! He took off 4 inches from each arm and now my arms are soooo skinny and I do exercise so I have such nice muscle defination too. I think my upper arm measured around 9 inches last time I measured. Good luck to you, Terry Coles
