Hello Jaspsadie02, Thank you for your question regarding lipo and weight loss, left with saggy, lumpy arms and how you can improve the arm rippling. Thank you for your pictures. To get an accurate assessment of your specific arm needs, schedule a free virtual consultation. Most plastic surgeons offer free virtual consultations. In examining your pictures, you have excess skin and fat from your axillae or armpits to your elbows. That means you have a Type 4 arm. Also, you have irregularities and dimpling throughout your arms. You could do VASER arm liposuction with Renuvion. Further arm liposuction may get rid of the dimples left from prior arm liposuction. However, if you have any more arm liposuction, you will be left with an excessive amount of arm skin. Alternatively, you could fill in the dimples with fat grafting. However, fat grafting to your arm dimples would make your arms BIGGER, not smaller. Therefore, you would do best with a formal brachioplasty or arm reduction. An arm reduction is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 3 to 4 hours to complete. The brachioplasty incision should be placed between the biceps and the triceps. A little bit of arm liposuction would be included to maximize your results. Drains are usually not used during an arm reduction. Allow yourself 2 to 3 weeks of recovery. You should be able to return to a desk-type job 2 to 3 weeks after your arm reduction. You will need to wear a medical-grade compression garment on the arms for at least 6 weeks and until the swelling is gone. Good luck. I hope I have answered your question about lipo and weight loss, left with saggy, lumpy arms and how you can improve the arm rippling.
