Answer: Arms Yes, the mini-tuck, or smaller incision could be helpful. You might also do well with minimally invasive plasma energy tightening with Renuvion. Please see a plastic surgeon to discuss your options.

Answer: Optimal Approach to Arm Transformation Thank you for your question about the potential benefits of an arm lift, and congratulations on your impressive 80-pound weight loss. After reviewing your history and images, here's my insight: An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is beneficial for your situation. Considering your excess arm skin and fat due to weight loss, a comprehensive solution is needed. Combining arm liposuction with surgical skin resection is recommended. A mini armlift may not provide desired results. Instead, opt for a full brachioplasty involving arm liposuction and skin removal. This procedure will address both fat and excess skin effectively. In summary, choose the full brachioplasty route for optimal outcomes after your significant weight loss. Best regards, Dr. Katzen

Answer: Borderline lift VS. SMARTLipo For someone who has lost as much weight as you have, you seem to have kept a fair amount of skin elasticity. If this is the case, then you may be able to have a good result from something less invasive like a SMARTLipo or Ultrasound assisted liposuction procedure. Only an in person physical exam will be able to truly tell. If the skin has lost significant elasticity, which is common after weight loss, you will likely require a formal excisional brachioplasty, or arm lift.
