What is the best lipo procedure for fat arms? Air sculpt or Smart Lipo? What will get me the thinnest arms? (Photo)

Question

I want arm liposuction that will give me the thinnest arms possible as well as tighten the skin in NYC. I just graduated college, landed a great job, but am so insecure about my weight! I'm about 50 lbs overweight and even at my thinnest my arms always remain huge. I'm sick of clothes that fit me everywhere except my arms. What are the best options for optimum fat loss? Should I lose weight first and then lipo for best results? What are the prices like?

Ryan Neinstein, MD, FRCSC · Answer

Thanks for the question, congrats on the graduation and job. Arms are a great place to have a small operation with big change in self confidence. I prefer minimally invasive liposuction with VASER technology. This allows me to get the most results without having to put you to sleep , no sutures, and the ultrasound technology really helps melt the fat and tighten the skin allowing for a really great result. This is an outpatient procedure that takes about an hour, you wear a compression garment for a week under your clothes!

hello armz I have researched and used most laser and body contouring devices and have chosen to use Vaser to provide my patients with the safest treatment and most consistent excellent result. #options #postop

Hi! From what I can see you would be a good candidate for SmartLipo. I would suggest getting to your goal weight prior to the procedure. Also make sure you set up a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck to you!

Given your skin quality, all the above mentioned techniques will help you get to your final optimal results.  The most important criteria is who is performing your procedure.  To maximize your results you want someone who is experienced with smart lipo, vaser etc! I think more than anything else this is the most important criteria!  The down time is minimal with arms.  Every surgeon has a different price point, go with experience and who you feel comfortable with!

Cheers

Liposuction would be the optimal choice for reducing the appearance without large unsightly scars. The ideal situation is a lack of excessively loose or wrinkled skin and a mild to moderate amount of fat. You would appear to meet these criteria. Of course weight loss would serve to amplify the quality of your results.
