Overdone lipo to the arms? Too skinny now. What can be done? (Photo)

there is nothing you can do at this point but you can possibly balance the one side to the other. based on the photos your arms look like what every woman wants and that your surgeon did a pretty good job. Id suggest a formal consultation we do many revision cases. Best, Dr. Emer.

Dear pignose1995,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Your arms do not appear too skinny from the provided photo. If you are wanting additional fat you could consider fat grafting, but you may be inviting more problems than it's worth. I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to discuss your concerns.

The best option is fat grafting. The area to harvest the fat will depend on the pinch test. Please see your doctor for evaluation.

Personally I have never had a patient ever complain that their arms were too small. To make an assessment on the outcome of a procedure we need to see before and after pictures. If you don’t have before and after pictures then ask your provider to forward the ones they took.

Your arms look great and do not look over treated. The results reflect competent high-quality Liposuction without contour irregularities or uneven contours.

Fat transfer for the sole purpose of regaining larger arms is probably not the best solution though it could be an option.

There are far too many variables to give it a certain fat volume quote of what’s needed. It’s also such an unusual request that I question if you can find anyone has ever done arm fat transfer solely for the purpose of creating a larger arms.
Lots of plastic surgeons have done fat transfer to correct for contour irregularities from previous Liposuction or muscle enlargement to mimic muscle definition.

I suggest you follow up with your provider and discuss your concerns with him or her.

If you seek second opinion consultations then you should bring previously taken before and after pictures as well as a copy of your operative report from the previous procedure.

Best,
