I am 67 years old, weigh 150 and am 5”2” tall. I am healthy except I take medicine for mild high blood pressure. The plastic surgeon I contacted said I’m too heavy for an arm lift. My weight has been stable for 1 year. Is the surgeon correct?

Answer: I am 67 years old, weigh 150 and am 5”2” tall. Too heavy for arm lift surgery? I look for a BMI approximating 30 to lessen the risks of complications during and after surgery and to enhance the results of the procedures. Your BMI is below 30 so you should not be too heavy for arm lift surgery.

Answer: Arm lift Thank you for the question. Liposuction is very often used to remove excess scar and improve the contouring effect of the arm lift. It is impossible to determine whether you are a good candidate for this procedure without an in-person examination. I wish you the best of luck. Vasileios Vasilakis, MD.

Answer: Safety as priority Your BMI is 27.6 which I consider is acceptable for a safe Arm Lift-liposuction procedure. Of course the closer to BMI of 25 will be the ideal in order to be in the safer area. Be encouraged. Dr. Cárdenas
