I have lost 125 lbs. I am unhappy with my arms. They rub me. And just with how they look overall. Am I a good candidate for an arm lift or would coolscuplting work for me? I am 30. 5'5 And I weigh 179 now, But working on losing about 15 more lbs before anything is done. Thank you.
Answer: Arm Lift, Arm Reduction or Brachioplasty Thank you for your question about what procedure would best suit your arms. My vote would be for an arm lift. I do not think cool sculpting achieves much, let alone anything for your arms. In addition, if you're planning on losing another fifteen pounds, the skin will only get more loose in this area. Therefore, cool sculpting will probably work even less with further weightloss. Therefore, I highly suggest an arm lift, reduction, or brachioplasty. Please seek a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in arm lifts. Good Luck.

Answer: Arm Lift Congratulations on your weight loss! You appear to be a good candidate for a brachioplasty to remove excess skin and fat. I would not waste your money for any non surgical procedure that would not provide a pleasing result in your case- in my opinion. Seek an experienced Board Certified PS for in person exam

Answer: Armlift - brachioplasty - liposuction - coolsculpting? Thank you very much for posting your pictures. Although coolsculpting will reduce somewhat the amounts of fat, it will have a limiting effect on the shape. In my experience you could be a good candidate for s short-scar brachioplasty (the scar is limited to the armpit) in combination with liposuction. This way the redundant fat and skin will be removed, without leaving these disfiguring scars along the upper arm. Discuss these options during your in-person consultation with your plastic surgeon. I hope this helped.Best wishes

Answer: Arm lift, or CoolSculpting? Thank you for your question and congrats on your weight loss. Based on your photos, you would be a good candidate for an arm lift once you reach your stable ideal weight. The extent of excess skin that you have would require an arm lift, not cool sculpting. Be sure to consult with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!
