You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best. I use VASER HI-DEF Liposculpture with ThermiRF, Renuvion, InMode BodyTite, and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned, sculpted arms. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Dear Lovenyc1,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you might benefit from revision 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.

Your arms are not terrible.  There are some areas of excess fat especially proximal nearer your armpit and also around the elbow.  These areas should be suctioned while any bumpiness may be feathered (cannula passed through the areas with the suction off to break up lumpy fat and smooth out the skin).
An in person consultation may reveal more issues unseen in your photos.
Best wishes.

Sorry for your poor experience and outcomes & thanks for posting good photos. I offer in cases as yours lipo of area where I can obtain fat, ie your bra back 7 upper back. Then re inject the fat into the defects in the upper arms along with vials of Sculptra (20+vials). This is my "COMPOSITE FAT/SCULPTRA REVISION" Fees $12,000+/-. Best to obtain virtual or in person consults.

Contour irregularities can be resolved using high definition vaser liposuction. The definitive correction for liposuction deformities requires the advanced technology of ultrasound assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I encounter suboptimal liposuction outcome referrals weekly. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently corrected liposuction caused deformities. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of severity of contour irregularities by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. Finally, when skin redundancy irregularities are observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.
