I have flabby arms. If I get Liposuction, will I be left with excess skin? Is there a way to remove the skin too? (photo)

While laser-assisted liposuction can provide some skin tightening, I recommend a full arm lift (brachioplasty) when there is considerable skin excess. While this results in a scar along the inside of the arm, my patients find this preferable to the excess fat and skin.

We see this type of arm usually in a massive weight loss patient. If you have lost a great deal of weight-- congratulations!This arm is a perfect candidate for medial arm brachioplasty . This will require an incision on the inside of the arm that will remove the excess skin and the fat. Any remaining fat can then be removed with liposuction to give the best sculpted arm.
