I am a 50 year old woman. I weigh about 160 lbs and wear a size 9-10 dress. I would like to reduce the size of my upper arms. I have a little laxity in my arms but not a lot. Dont think I'm ready for an arm lift just yet. I am concerned the lipo might leave me with unevenness were as Coolsculpting might require multiple treatments.
Answer: CS vs lipo for arms It would be necessary to see you in person to make a specific recommendation, and I would strongly suggest that you seek in person consultation by a board certified plastic surgeon who can confidently discuss both options for you, specifically. That said, both may be viable options for this area. Liposuction is a single treatment that may require an anesthetic and some period of recovery, with mild pain and need for compression garments. Advantages include single treatment, better customizability, and quick results. CS is noninvasive, requires no anesthesia, usually minimal pain, and no garments. These advantages are offset to some degree by somewhat more limited patient selection, delayed results that appear over 2-3 months or longer, and probably require 2 or more treatments. From a cost standpoint, the two are probably similar at similar endpoints (results).

Answer: Should I consider lipo or CoolSculpting for my arms? Help - what are the pros and cons of both? Thank you for your question. If you are interested, I would recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in CoolSculpting. This way, you can explain your concerns, learn more about the procedure, and determine if you are a good candidate. An in-person assessment is always best.

Answer: Arm liposuction or Coolsculpting Thank you for your question, however liposuction and coolsculpting are to very different procedures with different recovery and downtime. In considering liposuction, you should take into account that this is a surgical invasive procedure, that will require some down time and healing. Coolsculpting is a non-invasive, non –surgical procedure that will have little to no downtime. I think it is best to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon and/or dermatologist to discuss which would be the best procedure to give you the desired outcome you want.
