160cm, 80kg, age 21, female - am I a good arm lipo candidate? (Photos)

Question

hello, I am a 21 year old girl, I have no children and I have no known particular medical situation. My arms have always been a big complex for me, especially since my upper arms are deformed compared to the rest. I wanted to get informed about liposuction. can I be a good candidate? I am 160 cm tall and I weigh 80 kg. My upper arm circumference is 36cm. Also, I'm afraid of the risks that could be linked, that if there is any organ or nerve damage I could lose the use of my arm? Thank you

Thank you for your question. Based on the pictures what I recommend you is full arms lift with arms liposuction because you have saggy skin excess and fat.

Kind regards,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Liposuction can be done.  However, your arm skin may hang.  You may also benefit from a brachioplasty either long incision or transverse incision.

Best Wishes,

Considering your age and good skin tone, liposuction of the arms may be a good solution. Providing that liposuction is not too aggressive one could expect your skin to retract completely without need for excision. However, that possibility should be considered! In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in body contouring surgery is recommended. Good luck.

Dear anonym34,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would be a better candidate for an arm lift than liposuction. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Thanks for posting great photos, it really helps. You are NOT a candidate for arm lipo because you have so much excess skin. A full brachioplasty/arm lift is indicated. Usual fees $10,000+.
