My arms have always been an issue. Even when I was in my best shape I could not get rid of that hanging / lumpy look. I’ve got an extra 7-10lbs on me at the moment and it seems my arms have gotten way worse. What would be the best and least invasive treatment? Would Lipo be good in my situation or would something else be effective? I’m working on losing weight/lifting/etc.. but from past experience I know it will only do so much
Answer: Genetically fat arms, and what to do. Some women genetically have fat arms. This means their fat distribution has more subcutaneous fat on their arms in relationship to other parts of the body. YouSome women genetically have fat arms. This means they’re fat distribution has more subcutaneous fat on their arms in relationship to other parts of the body. You cannot change your fat distribution by weight loss or exercise. There is only one correct procedure for this and that’s well done Liposuction. Personally, I do Liposuction on arms in a circumferential manner. In other words, I Liposuction all the way around the arm. This is technically difficult and not done by most providers.I need to warn you that arm Liposuction is technically difficult and is a procedure that all too often leaves people looking disfigured or with an undesirable outcome. Finding the right provider is the absolute most important variable nothing else really matters. There are no non-surgical treatments that will give you satisfactory outcomes. Give up right now on any idea of having your arms improved without surgery. Do not do skin surgery, except the skin that you have and simply reduce the size of your arm with Liposuction. Skin surgery tends to leave hideous visible scars that are undesirable and not needed in your case.To start with look for plastic surgeons, whose practice is almost exclusively devoted to Liposuction. Next have in person consultations with those providers. Make sure you’re consulting with the person who is going to do your operation.Avoid virtual consultations exclusively. Try to find plastic surgeons who specialize exclusively in Liposuction.Next have in person consultations with those providers. Make sure your consulting with the person who is going to do your operation not a sales person “ patient care coordinator” This is really important. Please bring pictures of your arms, preferably taken the same way plastic surgeons take before and after pictures. Use pictures of yourself as a reference during the consultation, especially when reviewing before and after pictures. During each consultation, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before and after pictures of previous patients who had similar arm characteristics to your own. This is the best way to understand what you results are likely to look like in the hands of that provider. Being shown at one or two examples is not sufficient to get a clear understanding of what average results look like in the hands of each provider. Plastic surgeons are going to be reluctant to show you anything but they’re very best outcomes. This doesn’t mean all the results look that way. If they can show you 20 or 30 examples of people whose arms look like you and all the results look great then you’re probably in the hands of a provider who may have the experience to deliver quality outcomes on a regular basis, which is what you’re looking for.The goal is to understand what average results look like in the hands of the provider you’re considering. You also wanna have an idea of how many arm Liposuction cases they’ve done.having done one or two or 10 cases is not sufficient to be good at this procedure. Sorry for the grammatical run-on here. This is being dictated using word recognition. I should warn you that average plastic surgeons will probably not deliver aesthetically desirable outcomes when it comes to arm Liposuction. This procedure is much more difficult than most people realize and most plastic surgeons aren’t very good at Liposuction in my opinion. Almost all plastic surgeons will do liposuction and technically it’s not a difficult procedure. It is, however, difficult to deliver consistent quality results every time without ever leaving someone with a divot or disfigured in some other way. Many plastic surgeons don’t like doing Liposuction. To find a sufficiently experienced and talented provider is probably going to require that you meet with a lot of plastic surgeons. If you’re not sure, then simply slow down and keep scheduling more consultations with providers until you’re absolutely certain you found someone who loves doing arm liposuction and has a track record of delivering high-quality outcomes on a regular basis. Recognize that you’re gonna be living with this outcome for the rest of your life and if it ends up, leaving you disfigured you’ll have regret every single day. The impact of not getting this right is really really important. If the provider can’t show you an impressive collection of arm Liposuction results then you’re not in the hands of the right provider. Avoid virtual consultations please. Meet the person who’s going to do your operation in person and recognize it is your duty and your responsibility to vet that provider sufficiently to confirm they have the skills necessary to deliver consistent quality outcomes and not leave you disfigured. I’m sorry if my communication comes across as a bit harsh and pessimistic. I am simply tired of seeing people be left disfigured by plastic surgeons who don’t know what they’re doing. There’s way too much of that when it comes to Liposuction. That’s not to say that there aren’t lots of plastic surgeons to do great Liposuction to work. The number of plastic surgeons who approach mastery of this kind of work is however really small. To find one who is exceptional is going to take some looking. I wish you the very best of luck and hopefully in the hands of the right provider you’ll have a stellar outcome that you will love for the rest of your life. It’s your responsibility to vet providers correctly. Most patients have little to no experience consulting with plastic surgeons. Learning how to choose the right provider takes some skill. This is why having multiple consultations is a pretty good idea. The more consultations you have the better you’ll be at the process. At the same time you’ll be able to find a better provider for your needs. Take care, Mats Hagstrom MD
