One of the characteristics of human skin is its ability to expand when put under tension. When the person puts on weight, or a woman gets pregnant, the skin stretches. It has been scientifically proven that skin cells multiply when they are under tension. When overweight people lose large amount of weight, unfortunately the skin becomes loose, more so in certain areas than others.
What Is Brachioplasty?
One of those areas where weight lose can leave a remarkably loose skin is the arms. The only way to get rid of the excess skin is by surgically removing it. The procedure is called Brachioplasty or arm lift. Unfortunately, there is no scar-less surgery. The scar of this procedure is T-shaped, the arm of the âTâ is along the inner side of the patients arm, and the top of the âTâ is in the armpit. People find they can hide the scar with clothing.
