My doctor said I don't need lipo on my arms only an arm lift. He did say I had some fat in my arms but he doesn't do arm lipo because it causes your arm to swell too bad. Why would swelling matter if it eventually goes away? Does it impact the results /scar? Is that common / correct? I thought they always did lipo with an arm lift.

Answer: Liposuction with Brachioplasty: Common Practice for Best Results Thank you for your question regarding whether liposuction is commonly done alongside an arm lift. In my practice, I almost always combine liposuction with brachioplasty unless the patient has primarily excess skin and little to no excess fat in their arms. Liposuction helps contour the arms more precisely by removing stubborn fat deposits that an arm lift alone may not fully address.

Answer: Arm Lift without lipo Thank you for your inquiry! Liposuction does cause post-operative swelling. This could lead to pulling on the incisional area. We would love to sit down with you and discuss your concerns. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your goals.
