A woman in her mid 60’s with significant weight loss who is bothered by the loose skin of her arms, sometimes called a “bat wing” deformity
She is shown before and again, just 6 weeks after bilateral brachioplasty using a posterior approach. The posterior approach leaves a scar on the back of the arm, rather than in the bicipital groove of the anterior arm, and, in my hands, gives a much better contour. Scars are typically at their thickest at 6 weeks and then will fade and improve for the next three years. Her result may not be representative in that her scar already is looking pretty good at only 6 weeks.
