I had liposuction on my arms - it’s been 11 month ago. Can I transfer fat from my stomach to my arms? (Photo)

Dear Bright112399,

I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Injecting fat or even worse silicone never seems to help arms that have too much loose skin. The new advanced arm tucks where the incision is hidden in the arm pits is the best option and is done under local. You will be so glad you did it.

Hello
Even if it's medical grade, liquid silicone injections should not be done to the arms or any other area. Liquid silicone can shift within the body due to gravity. It would be a more sensible choice to perform fat transfer to reduce the disproportionate thinness in your arms.

Please do not inject silicone in your arms or any other place. Careful fat injections could be done to help improve your contour.

Yes you can transfer fat from other areas to your arms to improve the overall look. You have excess skin as well as contour irregularities. I encourage you to visit with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon. Be sure to discuss what you can expect in terms of results.
