Arm lipo + skin tightening or arm lift - What do you think would give me the best result? (Photos)

At your age with good skin, I would suggest liposuction with minimally invasive radiofrequency skin tightening. I think you would get good results and can avoid the long scar.

Thank you for reaching out and sharing details about your arm contouring concerns along with the images you've provided.

Given the information and photos, an arm lift would most likely offer you the most optimal results. The arm lift procedure involves the removal of both excess skin and fat, providing a more defined and contoured appearance.

While arm liposuction combined with skin tightening could address some fat pockets and offer some degree of skin contraction, it may not adequately address significant skin laxity. Based on your pictures, your skin might not achieve the desired tightness solely through skin tightening methods.
In the arm lift procedure:
Arm liposuction is typically performed to remove fat.
An incision is made, often starting from the armpit and extending partially or fully down the inner aspect of the arm, potentially reaching the elbow.
The surgery typically takes 3-4 hours under general anesthesia and is usually an outpatient procedure.
Post-surgery, you can expect a recovery period of approximately two weeks.
I hope this guidance aids in making an informed decision that aligns with your aesthetic goals.
Best wishes on your journey to improved arm contouring.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

Hello, as far as I can see from your photos, your sagging is not much. If an arm lift is performed, a long scar will form under your arm. At the same time, since you are young, I recommend you to try non-surgical arm lift methods with liposuction. It would be more accurate to try a treatment that works with arm lip and ThermageCPT or radiofrequency energy.
