5 ft and 130 pounds - Arm lift vs. Lipo/renuvion? (Photos)

May 4, 2025
Asked By:teresa01 in Miami, Florida

I had liposuction AND renuvion on my arms over 8 months ago with absolutely no improvements. I am 61 years old, 5 ft, and 130 pounds with most of my weight in my arms. The surgeon is offering a revision with another round of liposuction and aggressive on Renuvion. From 60 energy level 5 passes to 70 energy level, They are recommending only renuvion and no liposuction but I still think I have bulky arms and can benefit from modest liposuction. Really trying to avoid arm lift due to the scar. Looking for a modest difference only just to avoid the arm lift scar. Not sure if going thru this again will make a difference opening the incision sites again and wearing the garment plus the cost of revision. Looking for an expert in arm liposuction /arm lift to provide me their honest opinion.
