Am I a candidate for a brachioplasty or any other treatment?

Question

Lost 25kg/ 55 pounds approximately about 2 years ago (height: 153cm). I am currently working on building muscle tone but I have quite a lot of skin laxity due to the excess fat I carried in my arms & thigh+ buttocks. There’s a lot of loose, hanging skin and flab that causes me distress because of how aesthetically unpleasant it looks, the way I feel it jiggle when I move and finding clothes sizes due to the discrepancies in my measurements is also a pain. No underlying health issues.

Based on these photos, it looks like liposuction of abdomen, flaks, lower back and thighs would be most appropriate. Addition of fat grafts to augment and shape buttocks/hips is a consideration. After this is completed, I would suggest waiting at least 6 months to see whether abdominoplasty (TT) may be needed. You will also need arm lift. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, expert in body contouring surgery, is recommended. Good luck.

Yes you are! First of all congratulations on the weight loss! Working out is great for you and increased muscle tone will help you in so many ways, but nothing really treats excess skin other than a traditional arm lift or brachioplasty. You are actually a great candidate. An arm lift can be combined with arm lipo for even slimmer results.

I asume you might want to combine the arm lift with other areas because of your attached photos. So here are some options if your interested. 
An arm lift can be combined with a tummy tummy plus waist lipo…. Like a mommy makeover of sorts. And lipo on your back, outer thighs/hips plus a BBL (especially on your hip dips) will give you a nicer shape as well. 
When combined with a breast lift, the scar and therefore skin removal, can be extended over the armpit and then downwards, in a L shape across into the breast fold. I call this an Extended Arm Lift and is performed to treat excess skin on the armpits and underarm/braw fold areas.

Best of luck,
Dr. Miguel Mota
