Just turned 40, 5'7", 125. It doesn't matter how lean I get, my arms have always bigger relative to the rest of my body. Based on the photos, possible to get a good result with vaser/Renuvion alone or likely a brachioplasty will be needed? I did have three kids, gained/lost 50lbs with each, no stretch marks or loose skin, so hoping lipo/skin tightening alone will work (although not in my 20s/30s anymore)... but want to be realistic.

Answer: Likely OK for Liposuction with Skin Tightening Based on your level of laxity, you should be fine with just liposuction with an energy device. The amount of excess skin is minimal and the quality appears to be good, which will work in your favor. I certainly would not perform a formal brachioplasty with the amount of excess skin that you have.

Answer: Determining the Best Approach: VASER/Renuvion vs. Brachioplasty for Arm Contouring Hello, and thank you for your question regarding achieving optimal results with VASER/Renuvion or needing brachioplasty. Thank you for your history and your pictures. Since you have no stretch marks, significant loose skin, or a history of weight loss greater than 100 pounds, I do not think you need a brachioplasty or arm lift. In your particular case, I believe you should achieve excellent results with VASER/Renuvion. It will be very important for you to wear compression garments for at least 6 to 8 weeks after your arm VASER surgery. Equally important are lymphatic massages, especially after VASER/Renuvion to your arms. Good luck. I hope I’ve answered your questions regarding whether you would do best with a brachioplasty or VASER/Renuvion for your arms. Sincerely, J. Timothy Katzen, MD, FASMBS, FICS Plastic Surgeon
