Liposuction Can Enhance the Arm Lift Result

John LoMonaco, MD answers: Is liposuction required for an arm lift?

i hate my underarm flapping skin. Was considering arm lift surgery.  However, it's not clear to me if I'd also need to get liposuction to get results. What is the best way to know ahead of a consultation if it will be necessary?

I will perform lipo using a small suction cannula on the arms, and I think it can help tighten the skin.  It is also helpful in areas where there is excess fat, although I like to limit the lipo to small amounts because it causes a lot of swelling.

Helpful?
