I have previously had a gastric sleeve and lost 100 lb. While I had an overall fat reduction, my arms lost almost no fat. This has left my body extremely disproportionate. It is difficult to find shirts that fit. I am unable to afford surgical liposuction but I think I can afford lipo cavitation. Would this be a viable option to help with my situation?

Answer: Liposuction and Cavitation: will it work on the arms? Cavitation or fat destruction with high power energy, usually ultrasonic, but can be other energy sources can cause rupture of fat cells. Is this the answer for you, I can't tell you, but I can tell you that whatever you do will cost you money and recovery, likely some pain and discomfort and then will you have the degree of improvement that you really want? Just because it might seem like it costs less than a surgical procedure, it may not. What is best is going to a plastic surgeon to get the best plan for you and knowing what your options are? Can you really trust someone who is selling you a procedure to have your best first?

Answer: Does lipo cavitation work for upper arms? In your case, without seeing photographs, you will probably need to have excess skin removed. This is the case in most post bariatric patients. Usually liposuction is not an option. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon for evaluation.
