Typical weight swings, aging and even family inheritance can cause your arms to have a pronounced flaccidity. Exercise will strengthen and even improve muscle tone in the upper arm, but it cannot cover all the skin that has lost its elasticity. Before this situation is recommended to apply an arm lift.
- Reduces excess skin and fat between the armpit and elbow.
- It gives a new shape to the arm and also to its contour with a much smoother skin.
- As a result you will have a more toned appearance.
- Keep in mind that to achieve this improvement you will have a scar in the armpit.
