Congrats! I've been fortunate to be able to have several excess skin removal surgeries. The arms were the easiest.

There are 2 different scar placement options for the arms. The traditional incision is along the muscle. The newer placement is under the arm (from the elbow to armpit). You can find pictures of both online. I had my surgeon extend the incision down to the incision from my breast-lift to get rid of the skin spilling over my bra. No more rashes!!
