This patient had long been unhappy with extra fat in her arms in spite of a healthy lifestyle. She was treated with just liposuction to provide dramatic improvement. The slight excess skin on the posterior view shows one of the issues with liposuction where the more significant the amount of fat removed, the higher the chance that some extra skin will have to be tolerated. The opportunity exists to remove that skin but it is distinctly not worth it given the required scar.
