Should I get an arm lift, or a combo of arm lipo/renuvion? (photos)

January 26, 2022
Asked By:Katie2157 in Austin, Texas

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.
