Will liposuction be enough to take care of my batwings? (Photo)

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! 
 

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. 

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.

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.

Dear Misscarm,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD

Options for arm contouring typically fall into one of 2 groups: liposuction or excisional procedures (i.e. brachioplasty). This is ultimately a question of laxity vs fullness (or both). For those patients with laxity the focus is primarily on skin removal. Those with fullness, on the other hand liposuction can be very effective. For those with both, liposuction alone can often worsen the situation by accentuating the skin excess.Another alternative is liposuction in conjunction with an RF heating modality (Thermi/BodyTite). This allows for greater tightening than liposuction alone (30%) while avoiding the heavy scar burden assocaited with brachioplasty.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Thanks for your question. Based on your photos you appear to be a good candidate for an arm lift procedure. Liposuction alone will leave you with more excess skin. Arm lift (brachioplasty) can be a very powerful technique to get rid of excess skin and laxity and result in smooth, contoured arms.  We can use the mini arm lift for relatively small amounts of skin excess, or a full arm lift when additional skin removal and tightening are desired.

Thank you for your question and the photos.Liposuction will only remove excess fat from your arms and will leave you with even more excess skin.You may want to consider a more formal arm reduction, although there will be a scar the excess skin will be removed.

Skin tightening can be done with a combination of vanquish, venus legacy, exilis, celllutone/Zwave. However for best results, an arm lifting procedure can be combined with a high definition procedure at the same time. I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Based on your photos- you appear to be a candidate for a Brachioplasty /Arm lift. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS for in person exam
