Are there scars with Brachioplasty surgery and where are they located?

If resection of excess skin is required, then there will be permanent scars from arm lift surgery. In mild cases the excess skin can be removed with a short scar hidden in the armpit. As skin excess increases a T-shaped scar or longitudinal scar down the inner aspect of the upper arm is produced. Brachioplasty scars may take up to eighteen months to fully mature. While these scars can be long, they usually are well accepted by patients with severe weight loss producing “bat wings.”
