Liposuction upper arms, what are the real results? (Photo)

Question

I'm 20 years old and in a week will be having lipo suction of the upper arm.I've been reading that it makes your arms worse down the line quickly .makes them more saggy and messed up . I'm starting to think twice and get really scared . Even though the doctor is a great surgeon and said I have great elasticity cause my age and health also said he will be taking out about 300cc. need a few more opinions if this is really worth it cause I'd rather not do it if I'm gonna have worse results.

In my experience the skin of the upper arm responds well to liposuction. Significant excess however may leave in unwanted redundancies. In your particular case a physical examination in person would be required for a specific appraisal.

In the right candidate, and in the right expert hands, arm liposuction can be done satisfactorily, but the results are never "incredible" particularly if the surgeon is trying to be safe (which is a must).  You are wise to speak with your surgeon and find out truly what the expected results are.

Hi there.  Arm liposuction is safe in well-selected patients. Removal of too much fat could occur with over aggressive liposuction so choose your surgeon carefully. Good luck. Dr. B

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

If your arms are loose, then they will likely be looser afterwards.  It depends upon a lot of things including, skin elasticity usually associated with the age of the patient, and how much fat is to be taken out. best of luck.

Being 20 years old is certainly an advantage., HOWEVER, why would you need lipoplasty at 20?Have your arms always been larger than you wanted?Have you had lipoplasty elsewhere?Have you had any major weight fluctuations throughout your life.Have you tried any NON-invasive modalities?In the end, it is NOT the procedure itself but how it is carried out.Hope this helps
