I plan to have lipo 360, I know it doesn't include my arms. I am wondering whether my arms will look abnormal compared to my trunk, due to lipo 360? I don't think my arms are bad as far as needing lipo, but worries they won't match my trunk after lipo 360. Is this something that patients typically regret not adding?

Answer: Liposuction Your arms are relatively normal compared to your abdomen and torso. I recommend you concentrate on your abdomen and torso, if that is what bothers you. The safe amount to be removed is 10 lbs during on session. If that amount is not removed then additional volume can be removed from the arms, if desired. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Combination of procedures Dear 713b2b1, I understand your concern. It is best however that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine whether you can have several aesthetic surgeries in one session, as this would depend on various factors including but not limited to your general health condition, the type of anesthesia that will be used, and the type of surgeries that will be performed among others.

Answer: Should you do arm lipo with stomach 360 yes if you do not do your arms they likely will get bigger. the issue here is that you will have too much fat to be removed based on your photos AND it apperars you really need a tummy tuck but I cannot tell if you truly have loose skin on your stomach. if they are going to do your upper back and arms I would suggest one surgery with full back/sides/arms and fat grafting to hips. then wait 3 days and do all your front so you can get 5L x 2 surgeries (ie much more fat removal!). Best, Dr. Emer.
