Will lipo for arms affect a tattoo around the entire arm?

Question

I’m not talking about where an incision would be, but around the entire arm (sleeve)? I would assume it would just look tighter. Thank you for your time.

Brrojas.   Interesting question. Liposuction of your arms will not affect your tattoo. The procedure will simply reduce fat in the area of the arms treated and Skin should retract and have little effect on the tattoo. However, if your arms are quite large and aggressive liposuction is performed, if the skin does sag, the tattoo may appear to look different. Discuss your concerns of the board-certified plastic surgeon in the area

For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF/J Plasma/Renuvion/InMode BodyTite and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Liposuction should not affect your tattoo I recommend an in-person consultation with a board certified PS to go over your options.

Hello,
Thank you for your question. Liposuction applied to the arm reduces the size of the tattoo.

Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Liposuction on your arms should not affect your tattoo. l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
