Arm lift and/or lipo options? (Photo)

Vaser liposuction is the less invasive but very effective method of contouring. It not only removes excess fat but stimulates the collagen in the skin to contract. Traditional liposuction does not have that same effect. I would recommend starting there before signing up for a long scar that will show forever.

There are a few factors in considering the appropriate procedure for you. One is the elasticity of your skin. If you have good elasticity you should have a nice result from liposuction with J Plasma skin tightening. If your skin elasticity is poor then direct skin excision in the form of a brachioplasty would be better. Another consideration is your desired result. An arm lift will remove the excess skin and fat allowing maximum contour, but the trade off is the scar. Liposuction has the risk of leaving loose skin.

Hi Renovationproject415, Thank you for your question regarding arm lift or arm liposuction options. Thank you for your history and your photos. Generally, an "in-person" physical consultation is better than a "virtual" one. Also, a "virtual" consultation" is better than a recommendation made from a concise history with only five static pictures.
Nonetheless, I will try to answer your question about whether you would do better with an arm lift or liposuction. In your case, I suggest VASER arm liposuction to maximize arm fat extraction and skin contraction. In my experience, VASER arm liposuction is superior to RF regarding skin tightening. You can always add arm RF, but I don't think you will need it with Vaser arm liposuction. Therefore, I vote for VASER arm liposuction, not an arm lift. However, I would stress the importance and value of a physical "in-person" consultation. I would go to as many physical "in-person" consultations as possible until you find a plastic surgeon whose recommendations make the most sense. Before undergoing plastic surgery, you should be comfortable with your chosen plastic surgeon's decision. I hope I have answered your question about whether you should have to go an arm, lift, arm reduction, brachioplasty, or VASER arm liposuction. When seeking a plastic surgeon for an arm lift, please consider their experience. Look for a plastic surgeon who has performed many arm lifts and has many "before and after" arm lift pictures.
