Get An Arm-Lift Without Hitting The Gym
Producer: Kimberly McWatt
LOS ANGELES
Bicep curls, tricep dips, push ups, sound like mid-evil torture to you? now, get sexy sculpted arms with out picking up a pound of weight with this latest arm-lift.
Summer is here but Sherry May-Axton says she stays covered up because she's too embarrassed to show off her arms.
"When I take my shirt off, my arms look like I am 80 years old," she said.
Even though she's in tip-top shape. "The skin here will not go away. Oh the horror, oh the horror."
Weights and working out won't budge her biceps. "It's flabby cellulite."
Like many women who loathe their limbs, this forty-something blames genetics for flabby flappers.
"I absolutely blame genetics," she said. To fix what Mother Nature gave her, Sherry says, "I want to put Madonna to shame."
Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Doctor Renato Calabria marks the loose skin to remove during his signature 'arm-lift.'
"It will look exactly like you've been working out cause you get much more definition."
The outpatient three-hour surgery costs about $8,000 to $10,000.
"The scar is always in the crease of the arm pit. There is not a lot of down time."
Arm-lifters can expect buff branches overnight but doctors warn a slight scar may remain.
But as Sherry flexes her doctor-made-muscle, she throws her hands up in joy.
Dr. Calabria also does what he calls a mini-arm lift where there's a smaller scar strategically placed under the armpit.
