Where my triceps used to be I now have a bunch of lumpy cellulite.  What can I do to get rid of this arm cellulite?  I'd do almost anything...

Cellulite is one of the difficult problems to fix. In general this guideline might help:

  1. If there is excess fat with good skin tone ,some liposuction might help.
  2. If there is excess skin with some fat, an arm lift might be a very good idea. The downside is the inner arm scar.
  3. I would try first some dieting and working out, and I would combine a Velashape treatment to all of the above for some tightening.

Georgia has some wonderful plastic surgeons who could help you with this problem.

Hope that helps!
