I'm generally okay with my body except for my arms and back. Should I get lipo for arms/back instead of losing 20lbs to avoid GLOBAL skin laxity? I know lipo can cause laxity, but lipo = only tx area laxity, not global like weight loss. I was 125lbs at 5'7 until I was 27, gained 100lbs, weight cycled 40lbs a few times, and was very fat for 3.5 years. I'm 31 & 175lbs now, workout 5x/wk eat right, dont need the health lecture, thanks. I am 15lbs overweight, however boobs & butt >>> saggy & skinny.
Answer: So get it done! As I said to you in your prior post, if you like the rest of your body, don't lose weight and get the surgery. However, I can tell you that your arm laxity is borderline, so two things should be done: 1. very careful, but thorough defatting of the arm in the lateral and posterior areas. This will help unweight the skin so it sags less. 2. Use Renuvion (J Plasma) to help seal and contract fascial fibers that anchor skin to the deep tissues in your arms (tricep fascia).

Answer: Good Candidate for Arm Lipo Either approach will work, and both come with the risks and benefits you described. Based on your age and pictures you should be a good candidate for arm liposuction. However, only an in person physical exam will be able to tell the laxity of your skin. If your skin is of good quality, with good elasticity, then liposuction is likely to be successful. If you have excess laxity in your tissues, then your skin is unlikely to retract around the space created with liposuction. Be sure to have an in person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Weight loss vs lipo I always encourage patients to be at their goal weight before surgery - and ideally that's a maintainable weight. Weight gain or loss after surgery can affect the results.
