Question

Does arm lipo make your arms bigger? Would i be a good candidate? I don’t want more loose skin.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

From your photos, you appear to be a good candidate for BodyTite with liposuction of the arms. BodyTite does not remove any fat, but it is capable of producing a 45% contraction in tissues. Results can be seen immediately after one treatment and are more evident over three to six months post-treatment. Wait until six months to fully evaluate the aesthetic results.  Sedentary activities can be resumed in two to three days and full activity with exercise within two to three weeks.

You appear to be a good candidate for arm liposuction. Liposuction won't make your arms bigger, on the other hand, it removes fat making them leaner. That said, you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.  Best is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Dear meaganxobreastaugjourney,
arm liposuction will remove extra fat cells from your arms and make them smaller. In most cases, patients have swelling in earl postoperative period which can make their arms look bigger. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
No, liposuction won't make your arms bigger. Based on your pictures, you are a good candidate for standard liposuction, to improve your arms, and I think you'll get very good results. 
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 30 or less.
I recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)
