CoolSculpting or Lipo for upper arms? (Photo)

For best results shaping the arms, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction, which can be performed at the same time as an arm lift, depending on skin laxity. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. While the CoolSculpting may help to reduce a little of the bulk, it will not do anything for the laxity of the skin. Laser assisted liposuction, such as SmartLipo, may be a better option for you if you were looking for a less invasive treatment to help with the fat reduction and tightening. Schedule an in-person consultation with a Board Certified Surgeon for an evaluation to determine the right procedure for you. Good luck!

If you are looking to reduce a little bit of fat from your upper arms, Coolsculpting is a good option. I wouldn't worry too much about the loose skin because Coolsculpting will not remove enough fat to leave a lot of loose skin. If you are looking for more significant reduction, Liposuction would be a better option, but you will have to be concerned about loose skin. Liposuction with the new J-Plasma for skin tightening is the best option.
