Should I Get a Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Consultation During the Private Health Fund Waiting Period?

Body Contouring with Dr Bernard Beldholm

In this insightful episode, we tackle the often-under discussed topic of post-weight loss brachioplasty surgery. Many individuals, after significant weight loss, find themselves grappling with the trade-off between excess skin and the potential for long scars post-surgery. Our discussion revolves around the concerns associated with the cosmetic implications of arm lift scars versus the physical discomfort and self-consciousness caused by sagging skin. Interestingly, feedback from the post-weight loss community indicates that the overwhelming relief from eliminating hanging skin overshadows the concern for scars, which are generally not visible from the front. The episode also hints at forthcoming topics, including navigating private health funds for surgery and the commonality of wearing long sleeves to mask arm appearance. Tune in to gain a comprehensive understanding of the physical and cosmetic considerations that come with the decision to undergo a brachioplasty after weight loss.
