55, 5'3, mostly 150lbs, arm lift vs. arm liposuction? (Photos)

An exam is needed to know for sure but it appears you would have some improvement with liposuction and could add J Plasma to aid in skin tightening. However the risk of lax skin remaining is there. You may be a better candidate for a brachioplasty depending on your goals.

If you undergo liposuction alone, it is most likely that you will have excess hanging skin. You can certainly try liposuction first and wear a compressive garment for several months to help the skin recoil. In the meantime, you can start wearing a compressive garment to help your skin tone.
