For the past couple of years I have been thinking about a way to chop half my arm off UGH. I have always had big arms growing up even when I was at my lightest weight my arm circumference has always been bigger than average. By looking at these pictures which would be better? Lift or Lipo?
Answer: Laser Lipo VS Arm Lift? I would suggest that you consider another option; no surgical intervention. On the one hand, I think that arm lifting is too extensive of an operation in your case and that you will not be pleased with the scar. On the other hand, liposuction surgery may leave you with unsatisfactory skin appearance. Be careful with your decision-making. Best wishes.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Arm lift arm reduction brachioplasty arm liposuction LASER liposuction Great question. Based on your arm pictures, I would suggest an arm lift or brachioplasty. I do not believe arm liposuction alone will achieve the results you are seeking. It does not matter if the arm liposuction is traditional liposuction, ultrasonic liposuction, high definition VASER, Smart liposuction, or laser liposuction. Either way, after arm liposuction alone, I believe your arm skin will sag and be wrinkled. Since your arm fat extends all the way to the elbow, I would suggest full arm liposuction and an arm lift that extends to the elbow. This type of arm lift or brachioplasty will remove BOTH arm skin and fat. I hope this helps you in your decision process. Good luck with your arm lift or brachioplasty surgery.

Answer: Arm lift, short scar arm lift, laser Liposuction. The question of what kind of surgical intervention you need really depends on two factors. The amount of extra volume that you feel you have in your arms, as well as the amount of extra skin that you feel you have in your arms. To address the former, i.e., the extra volume in the arms, then laser liposuction would be a very good option for you. In addition you will get some skin tightening above and beyond traditional liposuction. This would allow you to achieve some skin tightening with a very small amount of scars.The traditional arm lift, would probably be too extensive a scar for the degree of tightening that you may need. Your alternative is a short scar arm lift. This short scar would just be underneath the armpits. It is very well hidden. If you combine this with liposuction, then you will achieve enough tightening. This is a more invasive option then laser liposuction, however you will have a tighter look and appearance to the arms.I would recommend that you visit with a board-certified plastic surgeon to further evaluate your options in person. Good luck.

Answer: Lipo vs Lift The scar that the arm lift operations leave is significant and you might want to thoroughly investigate this procedure before you commit to it. Liposuction, laser or traditional, will thin the area and you will get some tightening. How much tightening is the question and only time will tell, but you will see an improvement. The arms are difficult and so you may want to make your decision based on degrees of improvement vs total resolution of the issue.
