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.

The arm tuck is never considered medically necessary, but the abdominoplasty may be for those who have lost over 100 pounds and have documented 3 months of treating the rash and fungal infections with their primary care physician.
Hello; These bands are especially seen in patients; with fatty outer arms and the area; which is close to the elbow; when the arm is bent. Since they consist of excess skin on the outer part of the arm, unfortunately, there is not much that can be done.
Hello ALY2020, thank you for your question regarding lipedema and arm lift expectations.
Thank you for your history and your picture. I believe decreasing your arm size with arm and forearm liposuction and skin excision is a great idea for the treatment of your lipedema. Liposuction will remove...
