Would an arm lift or arm liposuction deliver better results? (photos)

If you have stretch marks on your arms it is likely you won't have much bounce back to the skin with liposuction alone. An arm lift will remove the excess fat as well as the lax skin. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

I would recommend doing the liposuction with Renuvion skin tightening to see how well you will do and avoid the long scar.

Thanks for your question regarding whether an arm lift or liposuction would deliver better results, especially considering the presence of stretch marks on your arms. Stretch marks are indicative of skin that has been excessively stretched and has lost its ability to retract or shrink back to a smaller size. In such cases, the skin may not respond adequately to liposuction alone, as liposuction mainly removes fat but does not significantly tighten the skin.

Given this, I'd strongly recommend considering an arm lift, also known as brachioplasty. An arm lift procedure involves making an incision (either down the inner arm or within the armpit), removing excess skin and fat, and subsequently tightening the remaining skin. The incision's placement and length depend on the amount of skin and fat to be removed and the specific technique chosen.

Both liposuction and arm lift procedures are performed under general anesthesia. It's important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in these procedures to determine the best approach for you. Please remember to allow your arms to rest and avoid putting any tension on the incisions post-surgery.
