Saggy elbows

8 replies

Haziedoll · 18/12/2011 21:36

First noticed them after the birth of ds1 7 years ago. My body really did seem to go through the mill after the pregnancy.

Has anyone overcome this without surgery and what on earth do you do in the summer?

Hand on heart I have NEVER noticed anyones elbows.

Keep them moisturised so they're not dry and try not to worry- no one else will give hoot about your elbows!!

Two words: Skin Tight. Seriously, you have to get yourself some of this, for dryness, slackness, you name it! www.mamamio.com/uk/body/skin-tight-toning-serum.html/ I'm back in short sleeves, let's put it that way... ;)

I will give that a go snoozing although I fear I am beyond repair. Sad

I agree with Cybbo!
I've never noticed anyone's elbows & thought they were saggy?
I'm sure they are not as bad as you think. Honestly.

In the meantime slather on the body lotion to give your skin a boost.

OP, are you talking fat overhanging the elbow from swag-like upper arms, or just general wrinkliness?

Haziedoll · 19/12/2011 12:27

General wrinklyness. They look like old lady elbows.

Are most people's elbows not wrinkly?
I know mine are but, I really don't bother about them.

Haziedoll, I'm sure your elbows are fine & completely normal.

I'm not sure they are normal. I will try and take a photo if it isn't too much faff.

Looked at a wedding photo of me from behind and there isn't an elbow wrinkle in sight (16 years ago.) A photo of me taken 6 years ago looks it is of an 80 year old woman. Sad

A very trivial concern I know, I'm just wondering if I will ever see short sleeves again!
