You may need an arm lift

Hello,

Liposuction in the arms can leave sagging skin. The "Real" question is whether or not the problem you have is skin or fat-related. I agree to give it time (at least 6 months) to sort out.

The alternative may be a brachioplasty which involves a skin excision and a long scar, so waiting at this point is very reasonable.

Some swelling in the area is very normal at your stage. How much of what you are seeing is swelling, of course, can be hard to tell.

Best Regards.

Loose skin 3 months following liposuction is better treated by compression and exercise. I have seen many cases where great improvement was made by conservative management. The very few cases where an excision surgery is needed are probably cases where liposuction was not the best procedure to start with.

Having a lump following Lipo is usually some fat atrophy, but other conditions should be ruled out, especially if the mass does not go away or increase in size. I hope that helps.
