Hello. My bmi is 29 and I'm apprehensive to do both lipo 360 and arms. My PS says he is confident he can do both at same time (6ml). Is this safe and realistic? My arms bother me just as bad so I feel they are going to max out before getting to my arms and leaving me wishing more could have been removed. I'm also afraid of how much more painful the recovery will be including a 360 lipo of my arms? This is my first lipo treatment. I opted out of a TT. Thanks for any input!

Answer: Liposuction Since your arms are a great concern, I would recommend beginning with liposuction of the arms. At the same time, you can get liposuction of the back and flanks. I would not liposuct the anterior abdominal wall in order to conserve volume. The safe amount is usually 5 liters. In the future, you will most likely need a tummy tuck, if you liposuct the anterior abdominal wall. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Sometimes you just need 2 procedures a day apart to get the job done right. I would recommend 2 liposuction procedures to be able to be very thorough and make a noticeable improvement safely under local. Some docs will take a little out of everywhere and not make much of a difference in any area. You want it done right so you will need 2 procedures but they can be done just a day apart so you recover all at once and are back to work in 2 days. Upper/lower tummy and sides in 1 procedure and midback, armpits and arms in another. Cost for quality work is roughly $10,000 per procedure. Be sure to get it done under local with a little iv sedation for complete comfort and safety and have Morpheus and Bodytite done with the lipo to make sure the skin tightens up nicely.
