Arm Lift Plastic Surgery Reasons:
Loose Arm Skin
Loose upper arm skin is often related to weight loss. Ever been overweight, people more than likely develop heavy upper arms. The skin on the upper arm stretches in order to accommodate the increased volume of the upper arms. After weight loss, skin often fails to tighten, and so it sags. The way to improve such problem is through an arm lift (Brachioplasty).
Liposuction Plastic Procedure for Arm Lift: is this an option?
Liposuction is not the solution for arm lift if the problem is due to loose skin. Liposuction is a better choice is when there is a lot of fat and the skin is tight. When the skin is loose, an arm lift is usually the best choice.
Arm lift Plastic Procedure: incisions and Scars
Scars are the greatest drawback of arm lift plsatic procedure. They will extend from the armpit to the elbow, along the inside of the arm. The arm lift operation exchanges one cosmetic problem (loose skin) for another (scars). In general, those with very loose saggy skin are most likely to find this exchange worthwhile. Those with a small amount of looseness will probably not want the scars.

Tips and Traps of Arm Lift
Arm lift plastic operation involves the exchange of one cosmetic problem (loose skin) for another (scars). If a candidate is unwilling to accept scars, they should not undergo this operation, since no surgeon can predict how the scars will heal on a specific patient.
Arm lift is for loose skin. If the main problem is heavy arms due to excess fat, then liposuction may be a better option.

Plastic Surgery News...
- A review on sitagliptin in the management of type 2 diabetes has been published in the American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy, covering the following:
• Pharmacology
• Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
• Clinical efficacy
• Safety
• Dosage and administration
• Special populations
• Pharmacoeconomics
• Place in therapy
The authors summarise: “Sitagliptin is a DPP4 inhibitor shown to increase insulin release and decrease glucagon levels by preventing the inactivation of the incretin hormones GLP-1 and GIP. The clinical trials reviewed have demonstrated that sitagliptin, either alone or in combination with metformin or thiazolidinediones, is effective in reducing HbA1c values, FPG levels, and two-hour PPG levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. Sitagliptin should be considered as monotherapy or in combination with metformin or thiazolidinediones for patients with type 2 diabetes who have been unable to attain the target HbA1c value. Sitagliptin is generally well tolerated in clinical trials, with the rate of adverse events being similar to placebo and a low frequency of hypoglycemia. The addition of sitagliptin to a patient’s oral antidiabetic regimen would necessitate close monitoring for adverse events and possible drug interactions. At the present time, no ongoing trials are evaluating the effects of sitagliptin on preventing microvascular and macrovascular conditions. Further clinical and pharmacoeconomic studies are needed to assess sitagliptin’s cost-effectiveness, long-term tolerability, and efficacy”.
