I'm 30, healthy and work out a lot, but am unhappy with my upper arms. In my early 20s I lost 100 lbs naturally, and in 2018 had a tummy tuck to address loose skin which turned out great. I've been considering something similar for my arms, which also have some laxity but aren't nearly as bad. I've been recommended an arm lift or a combo of arm lipo and renuvion for skin tightening, Which is best for me, given my younger age? Renuvion may be less drastic, but I'd avoid a very large scar.
Answer: Arm lift Thank you for the question. Based on your photographs you have some degree of irreversible skin laxity, therefore a brachioplasty (arm lift) will give you the best result as the excess hanging skin will be removed. I wish you the best of luck. Vasileios Vasilakis, MD. Double board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon, Houston. TX.

Answer: arm lipo/and Thermal CPT Hello, as far as I can see from your photos, your sagging is not much. If an arm lift is performed, a long scar will form under your arm. At the same time, since you are young, this will make you unhappy. I recommend you to try liposuction and then non-surgical arm lift methods. It would be more accurate to try a treatment that works with ThermageCPT or radiofrequency energy.
