Hello I'm 21 years old and have lost 50 pounds I have always carried fat in upper body since youth. I've went to multiple surgeons and it seems to be half and half. Some recommend high definition liposuction only, some recommended liposuction with J-plasma, some a mini arm lift.

Answer: Considering options Congratulations on your weight loss! From the photos it appears you will have improvement with liposuction with J Plasma which will help the skin retract to a degree. However if you are wanting a more defined contour then removal of the skin laxity is needed. The trade off in that case is the scar.

Answer: Arm Lift and Reduction or Brachioplasty Dear Kyrashalise, Congratulations on your weight loss – that's a significant accomplishment! Regarding your arm contouring options, it's clear you've heard a range of suggestions. The best procedure for you depends on several factors, but given the weight loss you've described, it's often the case that skin elasticity might be compromised. With this in mind, I would recommend considering a brachioplasty, or arm lift, combined with liposuction. This approach would help to remove excess skin and fat while also sculpting the arm for a more toned appearance. It's important to note that this option does result in a scar, but in many cases, the contour improvement is well worth it. Thank you for your question, and best of luck with your decision! Sincerely, Dr. Katzen
