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

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.

Thank you for sharing your weight loss journey and your concerns about arm treatments. In summary:
Considering your age and photos, arm liposuction combined with renuvion is more suitable for you. A full arm lift might be unnecessary given your current skin condition, as it would leave a lengthy scar. While it's possible that as you age, the skin may loosen necessitating a brachioplasty, combining liposuction with renuvion might delay that need for about a decade. Hence, I'd recommend opting for Arm Liposuction with renuvion now. Best of luck!
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

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.

It is wonderful what you have achieved after the weight loss, congratulations!!
Your arms and specifically your armpit angle has become saggy and nothing as conservative procedures will tighten that degree of saggy skin and descent axila angle.
You are indeed candidate for an Arm Lift with an extension towards the chest to reconstruct the angle of the armpit and definitely liposuction to reduce the volume.
Be encouraged !!

Hello,
Thank you for your enquiry. The photographic information is very helpful.
I think you would get the best outcome from a surgical excision. Other methods are unlikely to remove the excess skin.
I would suggest to confirm this with your surgeon.

Dear Katie2157,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you might benefit from arm lift. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Congratulations on your weight loss! I would suggest liposuction with Renuvion for you. I think you would get a good result and could avoid the long scar. However, an exam is needed to be certain. Go in for consultation.

Good job on losing weight. An arm lift is the gold standard and will give you a very contoured look but will leave you with a scar. As you stated, liposuction in combination with J-Plasma is an alternative for you only if the skin is hanging moderately. You will not burn any bridges with the second option, and if there is reidular loose skin you can have it easily removed.

Congratulations on your impressive weight loss! From your photos it appears you would have the best result from an arm lift. There are risks and benefits to consider with this procedure, including the scars. I've included a video on this procedure that I hope you find helpful.

The Renuvion has VERY limited skin tightening effects if any. So better excisional brachioplasty in your case. Especially since you had a great TT result.
