I am paying for layaway package that includes lipo on my arms. Will that alone take care of the bat wings without a lift? I'm 51 yrs old.
Answer: In person exam Liposuction alone may leave with with some loose skin. I suggest going in for an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area. An in person exam is the best way to determine the best treatment plan for any patient.

Answer: Will liposuction be enough to take care of my batwings? (Photo) For your extra fat and skin on your arms, a liposuction will help considerably. Because of your age of 51, you may have some loose skin following a liposuction, but there still would be an improvement.A ThermiTight done simultaneously with a liposuction would also tighten the skin on your arms and leave virtually no scar. The ThermiTight emits a radio frequency (RF) that both tightens the skin and melts fat, but because of the amount of fat in your arms, you would still need to combine this with a liposuction for the best result. The ThermiTight tightens skin anywhere. This procedure is done under local anesthesia, and recovery is minimal.The surgical alternative would be a brachioplasty, which gives you very youthful arms by eliminating both the fat and excess skin. It does leave you with a faint scar along the inside of your arm, however. This procedure is usually done under general anesthesia.I would go for the liposuction and ThermiTight for the best minimal surgery procedure for your "Batwinds."Thank you for your question and photos, and best wishes to you.

Answer: Liposuction for Bat Wings It is likely that you will end up with loose skin after liposuction removes the fat from your arms. To have the fat removed and skin tightened would be better treated by an arm lift, however, the trade off will be a long scar. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: "Batwing" Arms & Liposuction Hi, thank you for your question. Based on your photos, I believe you would have a better result with a brachioplasty procedure than liposuction alone. Your "batwings" are a combination of excess fat and excess skin. Liposuction treats the fat only. Given your excess skin, if you only remove the fat with liposuction alone, you will be left with significant skin excess. This will leave you with a suboptimal result. An evaluation by a board-certified plastic surgeon will help you navigate to the correct intervention for the ideal result. I hope this helps. Good luck in reaching your aesthetic goal!

Answer: Lipo for Batwings Based on your age and amount of arm skin, I have doubts about lipo getting you as tight and smooth a look as you may desire. I would expect some sagging and skin irregularity after lipo alone of this area.An arm lift in my opinion would be better, but it is a more involved scar.
