Contour irregularities, staining of the skin & loose skin after arm lipo, any advice welcome (Photos)

Dear self987,

I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

This is a hard one to answer without a good physical exam. Often times correcting overdone liposuction can involve surgery, fat grafting renuvion or some combos of all the above. Whatever you decide on have a good upfront conversation with your surgeons and make sure to have realistic expectation of what will happen. Most likely 100% fix will not be possible but likely a good improvement in the quality of your arm can be achieved in experienced hands.

HelloYou have elastosis in your skin, and its quality is quite low. If Vaser hasn’t been used, removing fat from the outer arm can already cause depressions. If skin tightening treatments (such as Renuvion J Plasma or Bodytite) haven’t been added, the skin will remain loose. Given your current condition, I would recommend PLA injections or fat injections for the depressions.
