Does liposuction on the arm remove batwings or is an arm lift required?
Answer: Liposuction may work in flappy arms if there is less excess skin under the arms Hi. In my opinion brachioplasty or arm lift is the ideal method to deal with batwing arms. But liposuction can be used to minimise it in younger patients who have great skin elasticity and less skin excess. But for best results arm lift is a better option. Hope that I have cleared your doubt. Thank you for posting your query. Wishing a healthy life.

Answer: More information needed Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs. However, if you have hanging skin already then liposuction will make the situation worse. You may need a brachioplasty to excise the excess hanging skin. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Flabby arms (Batwing) removal - will liposuction work? Liposuction alone will probably not provide the results you are seeking. Liposuction of the upper arm, followed by removal of excess skin and additional fat is recommended. The remaining skin is contoured and stretched over the upper arm to create a toned, fit, and more youthful arm.

Answer: Batwing removal Hello, If the problem is too much fat on the arms, liposuction can work very well to slim them down. If the problem also involves loose or hanging skin, an arm lift will be required. Aging and weight fluctuations with weight loss as well as genetics can cause skin laxity that may require an arm lift. I suggest you see a Plastic Surgeon in person to review the options. All the best to you, Dr. Nancy de Kleer

Answer: Arm lift Providing that you have significant sagginess of the arm skin, only skin excision by means of arm lift (brachioplasty) will create improvement. Liposuction may not be successful if done alone. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is recommended. Good luck.
