I have had two consultations on upper arm lifts with Board Certified Plastic Surgeons but neither thought that I had enough fat to justify the long scars. Would I be a candidate for ThermiTight? Would like to know if this is a recommended procedure for chubby arms.
Answer: ThermiTight for upper arms It is difficult to determine what would be the best procedure for you without pictures or an in-person exam, but in general I recommend ThermiTight for people who have just skin laxity and SmartLipo for people who have both excess fat and skin laxity. ThermiTight uses RF energy to tighten the skin and smartLipo combines liposuction to remove the fat and laser energy to tighten the skin. Both will leave very small scars with minimal downtime. And both procedures will give the best results in people with mild to moderate skin laxity.

Answer: ThermiTight for the arms This procedure is effective and can be a great alternative to having a surgical procedure(Brachioplasty). The ThermiTight uses radiofrequency technology to heat the underlying tissue and stimulate collagen production. It does not primarily treat fat, however, certain temperatures can help to cause some lipolysis, or fat cell destruction. It can take up to 6 months to see maximal results.
