Sometimes my arms don't fit into long sleeves. I realize that an arm lift would be easiest and most effective, but I just can't afford the downtime. Besides, cutting me up for vanity's sake would leave me with two huge scars, which I'd be self-conscious about, so I need a Plan B. I don't hope to look like a toned athlete or anything but are there any options that would reduce my arm circumference and make them look better?

Answer: Some inner arm shaping is accomplished with liposuction Hi, I just added a link that might be helpful...Hi FreeSpiritMe. Thank you for the photos. Liposuction will remove some fat but you may not see your skin spring back as much as you are hoping because the inner arm skin usually doesn't have a lot of elasticity. The VASER technology provides some tightening of skin and would be helpful if you proceed with liposuction. Short scars will provide only partial improvement, but may be your only alternative if you don't accept the full length scars that maximize contours from arm pit to elbow. Have a consult with an ABPS certified Plastic Surgeon as an in person examination is central to knowing what liposuction can achieve. Good luck!

Answer: Arm surgery Based on your photos the best surgical option for you would be an arm lift, but since you feel that is not a good choice for you, you may consider liposuction. Be aware that liposuction does remove excess fat, but does not remove skin so you may be left with skin that appears looser or saggier after the procedure. The scars from this procedure are very small and can be well hidden. Non surgical options would include diet and exercise to try to tone the area.Best wishes.
