    I'm also wanting a arm lift. I would love to know how the recovery is and how much to expect to pay.

    I am really curious to know how much the scarring is. Are they very visible?

    Yes, they are visible if I reach ahead or overhead but generally not too visible either from front or behind. It's hard to decide to do this because of the scars. I decided if I don't do it, I can't fit into any sleeves and my arms look shitty. If i do it, my arms fit into sleeves and only look slightly shitty. Either way, I'm wearing 3/4 length sleeves...I can now fit into fitted blazers XS and S whereas before, not even M. In summer, I wore tank tops a lot just walking around you can't see the scars-even sitting at a table eating in a cafe. It's been a year and the scars are still fading...some places along the scar line is almost invisible. I have absolutely no regrets. It was a chance I was willing to take but you have to think it through. Like I said, either way you're probably wearing 3/4 to hide some scarring or hide the flab/wrinkling skin.
