i have that and notice a lot of women my age (40's) do too. what can be done about it? i'm guessing it can't be cut out because then it would leave visible scars. is there anything you can do to improve it?

I don't know but I hear you on that one. And I think I'm speaking for 80% of the 40+ women out there when I complain about loose skin on the arms but it's just not enough to need an arm lift. Is there anything that can be done for a minor tightening? Maybe thermage, anyone know if that works on the body? I've only heard of it on the face and neck and even then I don't hear it works all that great.

too bad for us but im pretty sure if thermage doesnt do diddly squat on the face and neck it DEFINITELY wont fix our droopy elbows

I wonder how surgery would be done for loose elbows. Didn't Demi Moore have that done on her elbows and knees when she had all that plastic surgery? I don't see any scars on her skin but it seems like there would have to be scars if you make cuts in such obvious locations. I don't even know if it would be worth doing your elbows however that is done. Wouldn't loose skin wrinkles on the elbow be better than surgical scars that everyone would know is from cosmetic surgery? That's my take on it anyway.

I think it's hilarious how Demi Moore totally denies plastic surgery. YEAH RIGHT who are you kidding? She has spent a fortune on cosmetic surgery and other things to look as hot as she does today. I remember seeing some report in the Star or Us weekly or something that said Demi Moore spent over $450,000 on plastic surgery a few years ago when she got with Ashton Kutcher. I'd believe it because it looks like she has had almost everything done. Boob job for sure and I think some cheek implants a rhinoplasty, eyelift, face lift, necklift, and whatever she had done to her knees and elbows to get rid of that loose skin!!

Where would the make the incisions anyway on the elbows? It seems like anywhere you would put cuts they would be super noticeable.

Ladies I think we made up a procedure, the elbow lift, because I haven't heard of it in real life. I think it would impossible to do.

Elbow bursitis can occur for a number of reasons.
Trauma: A hard blow to the tip of the elbow could cause the bursa to produce excess fluid and swell.
Prolonged Pressure: Leaning on the tip of the elbow for long periods of time on hard surfaces, such as a tabletop, may cause the bursa to swell. Typically, this type of bursitis would develop over several months.
Infection: If the tip of the elbow has an injury that breaks the skin, such as an insect bite or a scrape, bacteria may get inside the bursa and cause an infection. The infected bursa produces fluid, redness, and swelling. If the infection goes untreated, the fluid may turn to pus.

wow, elbow skin.... that is hardly a threat to the majority of active people today, really, if you're in a wheelchair at a nursing home (which is where we all will end up) the weinus, or loose elbow skin, will surely get caught in the axle of the wheelchair that you will probably be in.... at least we can look forward to having turkey/chicken with taters and gravy without worrying about your weinus getting in the way. good luck with other issues in life!
