Question

I workout everyday with weights, overall i am thin, but my arms remain lose. I got liposuction about 5 years ago but it seems that they went back to being lose. What are the new treatments? I do not want a lift as I don;t want the scar. I want them to be tight. 5 ft woman, latina, 125 lbs.

Thank you for sharing your photo. Looking at the photo, you have pretty good but not great skin tightness.  You could definitely get more muscle definition and skin tightening with Liposuction combined Renuvion or Laser Energy tightening.  Obviously the tightest skin comes with arm lift but leaves a significant scar.

You would probably benefit from additional liposuction, but I would combine it with a skin tightening procedure such as renuvion or bodytite.

Thank you for your question. Smartlipo and Trusculpt are two options to reduce fat in arms. Smartlipo is a minimally invasive procedure where you melt the fat and tighten the skin with a laser then the melted fat is suctioned out. Trusculpt is non-invasive and targets up to an inch of fat through heating of the subcutaneous fat. Final results are not seen until around 12 weeks as your body needs to break down and dispose of the fall cells. The radiofrequency technology promotes skin tightening.

If purely excess skin at this point you may want to consider Vaser lipo revision with minibrachioplasty where the excess skin you're pulling on would get resected via a discrete armpit scar as opposed to traditional longitudinal scar.

Getting more lipo with the micro canulas will tighten up the skin nicely but if you add Quantum/Morpheus at the same time then the skin tightens a lot more and looks amazing.  The new arm tucks are also great since the hidden incision is hidden in the arm pits and really gives a tight arm without any visible scarring.  I always do quantum/bodytite/morpheus with all our lipos and the results are amazing.

Hi, 
For best results I recommend Liposuction/Renuvion to arms. This will assist in decreasing fat while tightening area. This is a minimally invasive procedure that involves light sedation.

If liposuction is well performed, the fat should never come back. My recommendation is to repeat liposuction by means of ultrasound assisted type and combine it with Renuvion tissue tightening. You should have much more slender arms, and tight tissues afterwards. I hope this helps and good luck from Leonard Grossman, MD, organic Plastic Surgery NYC

Based on the one poster photo, I would recommend in person or virtual consultation. My recommendation would be superficial lip sculpting with plasma in combination. Fee $5000-$8000 range. Best of virtual consult with.
