Going in for lipo, tuck, and breast augmentation on May 1, 2019. I am considering having something done to my arms as well. (FYI I am 5’ 1.5” and 150 lbs. 36 years old). Does this look like something that can be done with just liposuction and look thinner/be easier to tone with workout? Or would it end up being just a lumpy mess of hanging skin without having a lift as well. Fixing my terrible arms would be the cherry on top of my new torso Sunday :) Thank you in advance!
Answer: Arm lift options Judging from the pictures, it seems that you could have a reasonably nice result with liposuction alone (which comes with a mild degree of skin contraction) since it does not appear that you have excessively loose skin. An in-person consultation with a plastic surgeon is necessary to feel the soft tissue excess and skin laxity to determine if you are a good candidate for this.

Answer: Arm Lift vs lipo Thank you for your inquiry! Based on the photos, you could get liposuction and then renuvion to help tighten the area. We would love to meet and discuss your concerns. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your goals.

Answer: Arm Liposuction or Arm Lift Thank you for your question regarding whether you need arm liposuction or an arm lift. Based on your pictures, especially the back of your arms, I highly suggest you undergo an arm lift, arm reduction, or brachioplasty. I don’t think liposuction is enough for your arms. You have a significant amount of excess skin and some stretch marks. Therefore, I would opt for a brachioplasty. During an arms reduction, liposuction is performed, and a large elliptical area of skin and fat is removed from the armpit to the elbow. This procedure is performed under general anesthesia. The arm lift, or arm reduction, takes approximately 3 to 4 hours to complete. Please seek an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience performing arm lifts. Good luck.

Answer: Arm lift vs lipo Great question! Understand that liposuction is a volume only procedure and will do nothing to the skin. If you feel that you have only a volume issue, then this maybe good enough for you. However, if you have excess skin, then you would need an arm lift - however, this does come with a scar. Without an examination it is hard to say which one is the best way to go for you. It is best to speak with your surgeon about this issue and see what he/she says.Best of luck and hope this information helps!
