For Many People Who Have Lost A Large Amount Of Weight, There's No Diet Or Exercise That Can Restore Their Former Contour

Most of the candidates for an arm lift are those who have lost a lot of weight following a Bariatric procedure, also referred to as "lap banding" or "stomach stapling." According to the website of an Atlanta plastic surgeon, while these patients reap many health and psychological benefits from this weight loss, one of its after effects is sagging skin that hangs from the arms and other parts of the body. Because the skin has lost its elasticity following years of obesity, no amount of diet or exercise can restore firmness and tone to the arms.
