 Leila writes, "I have always
been a
fit woman and have
worked out regularly since I can recall. However, as I
am about to celebrate my 50th birthday, what I don't like
about my body are my arms. And living in California that
can be a problem. I don't think working out is an option
since I have tried everything. What about plastic
surgery?"
While there is no denying the
fact that people
who workout regularly do have better
toned bodies, despite that, thousands of women end up
with drooping arms, particularly as they reach their
middle age. At that age,
skin
continues to lose its elasticity and that means that
exercise alone may not get you the arms that you wish you
had. |
So what are your options?
Many surgeons are using a very simple and innovative
procedure in which they create a tiny incision in the arm.
The procedure is officially called an
arm lift or brachioplasty. Then they use the technique
of
liposuction to remove fat out. It may be possible to
take out several ounces - and sometimes as much as a pound
- of fat. Of course, you will then have even more skin,
but the surgeon uses a trick in which the excess skin (Skin
reduction surgery) is
now pulled up towards the shoulder and closes the
incision. (Related:

The beauty of this
procedure is that it is almost impossible to guess
that
you had plastic surgery done and within a few
weeks you will be ready to show off your arms in a
bikini or
halter top. The price is somewhat high. While
it varies by location, plan on spending about
$10,000 - could be even $15,000 in
places like Beverly Hills, California.
If you choose to have just the upper or lower arm
lift, then you may spend only a few thousand
dollars. (Related:
