The upper arm is a fairly visible part of the body and loose, hanging skin has a negative effect on the overall appearance of the body.Drastic weight loss also factors in as the skin loses its laxity and tautness. This can hamper the self esteem and overall confidence of the person as one feels embarrassed to wear sleeveless or short-sleeved clothing.
