Am I eligible for Liposuction or do I need an Arm Lift? (photos)

Question

I'm 5"3 and about 125 lbs. I used to be about twenty pounds heavier, and i don't think i've lost much off of my arms at all. They're a different clothing size to the rest of my body and just totally out of proportion. If I had liposuction, would i end up with saggy skin due to the size of my arms? I don't want an arm lift because of the scars, but there's no point in getting lipo done if i have to deal with a load of saggy skin. Thanks.

Based on your photos-you will benefit from an Arm Liposuction. Make sure to go to a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon !

I think that arm liposuction would be the appropriate treatment to improve the appearance of your arms.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Thank you for your question and posting appropriate pictures. You seem to be a good candidate for laser liposuction (smart lipo) of your other arms.  Typically and especially in younger patients you can expect to get good skin tightening in the upper arms after liposuction and Laser. This is the procedure typically performed under local anesthesia in an office setting. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon with expertise in this procedure.

Hi there,Thanks for sharing photos.  Based on the pictures it seems you would be a good candidate for liposuction to the arms.  A formal consult with a board certified plastic surgeon is recommended to get an exam and determine the areas to be treated.

You look like you  might be a candidate for liposuction but an exam in person will help determine this based upon the quality of your skin and the fat content.
