Arm liposuction, mini arm lift or two arm liposuctions? (photos)

If you are unwilling to accept the scars from am arm lift procedure, liposuction with BodyTite could give you a good improvement. I think you best result would be from arm liposuction followed by formal lift but definitely wouldn't force you into if you don't want the scar. As always, be sure to research who is doing your procedure to increase the chances of getting a desirable result.

Hello, thank you for your question about what to do with your arms: arm liposuction, mini arm lift or two arm liposuctions. Basically, let's examine and analyze your arm pictures. You have Type 3 arms with excess upper arm skin and fat from your axillae (armpit) to your elbows. Your best treatment would be removal of arm SKIN AND FAT. Whatever type of arm liposuction you have, whether its is VASER, Smart, or Laser Liposuction), your arm skin will NOT be removed and your arm skin will only SLIGHTLY tighten. You need a formal or longitudinal arm lift from the axillae to the elbow. If you do ANYTHING less than this, you will have unsatisfactory results. Also, a crescent arm lift will NOT significantly improve your arms. in regards to your specific questions...Hi, I'm having arm liposuction in Oct but I've seen horror stories. Do you think my arms will wrinkle with lipo? Yes, I think your arms will wrinkle after arm liposuction. Basically, your plastic surgeon will try one of two options. One, they will try to get you great results with arm liposuction, but they will probably over suck your arms, and you will have loose, wrinkly arm skin. Or option two, to avoid loose, wrinkly arm skin, they will under suck your arms and will wonder why you had arm liposuction at all. Are my arms too large to benefit drastically from lipo? Correct, yes. Would I need two liposuction procedures instead of one for good results? No. You need an arm reduction or brachioplasty. One or two or three or four arm liposuctions will just results in loose, hanging arm skin since you have excess arm skin. I really don't want an extended scar...I workout everyday but my arms are my problem area. Would a crescent arm lift help? No. Would J plasma with lipo be a good idea? No. I did coolsculpt 5 years ago, made things worse. I would NOT have recommended cool sculpt to your arms. I specialize in arm lifts. If you have any more questions regarding the arm lift, arm reduction, brachioplasty, please contact my office.
