How many inches (roughly) can you lose on your (upper) arms if you get Liposuction?

How many inches you can lose on your arms will depend on how much fat you have there as well as your skin tone. The more fat you have there, the more that can be removed, but also, the more loose your skin will likely become.    The best thing to do is to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon for an in person evaluation and a discussion of the options and details.    

When someone has excess tissue of the upper arms it often includes skin and fat. In my experience the stretched skin of the upper arm has minimal tendency to recoil or shrink. You may be lucky and have healthier skin elasticity. In my practice most patients require some type of skin excision to provide the contour improvements they desire. Patients with liposuction alone can be made to look worse. They can go from having a thick arm to a wrinkly sagging arm. However, a skin incision means you will have a scar. Before undergoing arm liposuction you should talk with your surgeon about the potential need for skin excision at the same time or afterwards.Best of luck, Alexander Anzarut

This will depend upon your preoperative fatty content of the arms and the amount of fat the surgeon can remove.Kenneth Hughes, MDBeverly Hills, CA
