I suggest finding a VASER 4D contouring expert. These areas can be treated sucessfully with fat reduction and skin tightening. Best, Dr. Emer.
This is a very common concern. Excess fat can be deposited in any area. Diet is probably not going to improve this issue. This can best be treated with liposuction to remove the excess fat and contour your arms. This can be performed under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure.
Thank you for your question. Fatty deposits can not be spot treated with exercise. Occasionally decreasing overall weight and body fat will improve this area as well as the rest of the body. When someone has a fatty deposit out of proportion to the rest of the body, liposuction or non-invasive fat destruction like UltraShape may be the answer. An in-person examination is the only way to know what treatment is right for you.Best Wishes!
Thank you for your question. There are things that can be done to improve the contour of the upper arms. Diet and exercise can help improve the contour of the upper arm. However, if the area on your upper arms is due to excess skin then diet and exercise will have minimal impact. The best way to remove significant excess skin is through a brachioplasty (arm lift), which is a surgical procedure in which the excess skin is removed. If there are just stubborn pockets of fat then either liposuction or coolsculpting may be beneficial. Your best bet would be to come in for a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon and see what is the best way for you to achieve your aesthetic goals. Good luck.
Unlike muscles, you cannot target specific fat areas to go away. To lose fat in your arms, you would have to lose fat overall. You can target muscles in your exercises, but there are no exercises that will specifically get rid of fat. The gold standard for fat in the arms is liposuction, but the concern would be hanging skin after the fat is removed. There are non-invasive techniques to get rid of fat, but they provide limited amounts of fat that can be destroyed. I would recommend you see a reputable plastic surgeon to see what your best options are for your arms. A good surgeon should be able to offer several options, along with the pros and cons of each, and whether he/she think that option will meet your goals. Good luck!
There is nothing dangerous about what you had done. Lipo of the breast tail should NOT cause swelling of the arms. Keep touch with your surgeon,
I agree that it's early and you should continue your program you described. The garment should be firm, not tight. Good luck and see your surgeon for opinion.
The lumpiness, swelling, itching and hardness after a surgery like you had typically persists at least 8 weeks after the surgery then slowly goes away. In my experience, daily massage of the hard areas makes the biggest difference in getting rid of it sooner rather than later. It can easily ...
