Answer: Loose Arm Skin After Liposuction Thank you very much for your question and photographs. Congratulations on your upcoming tummy tuck and Brazilian Butt Lift, as well. However, it is difficult to assess the laxity of upper arm tissue without an in-person examination. A reasonable option would be to continue with the liposuction procedure, and after your arm has healed, make an assessment regarding any loose skin. A brachioplasty (arm lift) could then be performed, eliminating the stretched skin and providing the desired arm contour. Make sure to put your trust in a board certified plastic surgeon, with experience in liposuction and body contouring procedures. This will ensure the safest and most satisfying results.

Answer: Will I have loose skin after lipo Hello and Great Question. I appreciate the time you are spending researching this procedure. My name is Dr. Matthew J. Nykiel. I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, a Fellowship Trained Cosmetic Surgeon, and a Butt Augmentation Specialist. Based on your photos, I don't see loose skin now. So I don't think you will have loose skin after surgery. I would also recommend utilizing a skin tightener in conjunction with liposuction. In my practice, I would recommend VASER® to get you the best results.Best of Luck! Matthew J.

Answer: Will I have loose skin after arm Lipo? Thank you for your question and photos. My question is: does your surgeon do liposuction just to remove fat from the back of the arm, or does he/she do VASER sculpting of the arms to provide muscle definition? With debulking liposuction, you might have some loose skin. With VASER liposuction you will not. The VASER needs to be used superficially under the skin and also deep down to the muscle fascia. This way, the surgeon can define the deltoid, triceps and biceps for a more athletic and youthful arm. If you trust your prospective surgeon, then you should trust his decision in this, too. I often do the arms too, with the BBL and abdominoplasty, since without it you'll have a youthful, athletic body with flabby thick arms. Good luck with your surgery.

Answer: Loose skin on the arms after a lipo Great question which I'll answer with a brief and succinct plan. First of all, It's difficult to assess your skin elasticity without an examination; however, I would:1) do the lipo first2) Then await 6-9 months to see how much skin contracts. If your not satisfied and you're ok with the brachialplasty scar, then proceed with the skin removal procedure. Your final results will be better because of it Thank you for the question and Good luck!
