Should I get arm lipo + mini arm lift or arm lipo + BodyTite? (Photo)

Hello; There is a fat accumulation and extreme laxity in your arm. Patients like you also; mini stretching procedure does not bring a great effect. Because, mini lifts, tighten the skin laxity in the proximal part of the arm well. However, in you, considering skin laxity; goes back to something. A vertical scar will remain; arm lift surgery can be performed in this way. Even though, this type of operation, tightens your arm visually; but the scar may bother you. Nevertheless, first of all, without a trace; if you aim for slimming down and tightening your arm; I have two suggestions. The initial one, is the application of Vaserlipo and Renuvion J Plasma. The second one, is the Bodytite implementation. These technologies, heat your subcutaneous tissues; it provides for collagen stimulation and in this way, it is aimed to tighten our arm skin. Currently, among device applications; these are two methods; which can create the most skin tightening as a whole.

Hello,
Thank you for your question about the best approach for addressing excess skin and fat in the arms. Based on your description, it seems that you are considering arm liposuction and a mini arm lift or arm liposuction combined with body-tite technology.
Given the situation you've described, where there is excess skin and fat in the arms, the most effective procedure would likely be a longitudinal brachioplasty or a full arm reduction. This procedure involves removing both the excess fat and skin from the arms, typically extending from the armpit to the elbow. This approach is comprehensive and addresses both skin laxity and fat reduction, leading to more definitive and satisfying results.
While arm liposuction can effectively reduce fat, it may not sufficiently address the issue of loose skin, especially in cases where skin elasticity is compromised. Technologies like VASER, J-Plasma, BodyTite, or Renuvion, which are often touted for their skin-tightening benefits, might not provide the necessary skin retraction in all cases. Consequently, solely relying on these methods might leave you with loose skin post-procedure.
A longitudinal brachioplasty, in contrast, combines liposuction (to remove fat) with the surgical removal of excess skin. This not only reduces the fat but also tightens the skin, resulting in a more toned and contoured appearance of the arms.
It's important to have a detailed consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate your specific needs and recommend the best course of action. They can provide a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your aesthetic goals and ensures the best possible outcome.
I hope this information helps you in making an informed decision about your arm rejuvenation procedure. Good luck on your journey to achieving your desired results.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

Hi,
This is a great question, and we get this all the time. You are young with good skin, so if the lipo is not overly aggressive, you should have a good chance of getting decent contraction with an energy device such as Bodytite or Renuvion. Mini-arm lifts can be helpful in selected cases, but only for patients that have skin excess just past the axilla (armpit). You have mild extra skin that extends to the elbow. Therefore if you wanted the thinnest, tightest arm possible, a full arm lift/brachioplasty (with the scar on the inside of the arm but going from armpit to elbow) would get you there. I think it's reasonable to go the liposuction route if you're not ready for that scar, but honestly mini-arm lifts rarely provide any benefit long term so I would save yourself that scar and do the lipo + RF alone
