Question

Age38 ,150 pounds, 5'0 I have always been insecure about my arms i have been very thin and bigger and this has always been an issue. What is the best solution? I would rather avoid scaring from an arm lift. But what should I do ? How much is this typical ?

Arif Eroglu, MD · Answer

Hello; There is both fat and severe skin laxity in your arms. When fat is removed from your arms; your skin becomes even looser and a bat wing appearance occurs. In order to prevent this; skin tightening procedures or arm lift surgery are required. As skin tightening procedures; either Vaserlipo and Renuvion J Plasma or Bodytite can be performed.

Thank you for your question. J-Plasma could be a suitable choice for you. It is ideal for moderate to severe wrinkles and skin laxity to tighten loose skin, such as the arms. An arm lift includes surgical removal of the fat and loose skin when exercise, nutrition, or less invasive therapies like J-Plasma are not recommended. However, speaking about your expectations and goals after a comprehensive assessment of your skin type, body type, and general health is important. Regarding your question about the cost of both, it can vary according to the surgeon's experience, the size and quantity of the treatment zone, and the complexity of the treatment. Your board-certified surgeon can provide an accurate full-cost estimate based on your condition.

There is no good treatment for arm skin laxity that doesn’t leave a scar.
Well done Liposuction can reduce your overall arm size, but will not reduce skin laxity with your arm stretched out.
Are make assessments for arm liposuction with the arms in a down position.
I clearly differentiate the difference between excess subcutaneous, fat and skin laxity.
The scar for an arm lift is usually unacceptable to most patients.
Unfortunately, secondary procedures like body tight, or Renuvion will leave you disappointed.
I speak from firsthand experience, and I found that these treatments had zero skin tightening by my own objective measurements and patient feedback.
I’ve sold my renuvion device because I could not recommend using it and maintain my own personal integrity.
Delivering consistent quality, liposuction results is more difficult than most people realize.
Finding someone who can do quality arm liposuction is not easy or straightforward.
Insist on seeing at least 20 sets of before and after pictures preferably more than that before contemplating having a permanent irreversible procedure, that can potentially leave you disfigured.
Best,
