What are the pros and cons of liposuction with arm lift?
This is an excellent question. The benefit of lipo with arm lift AKA brachioplasty is improved contour and shape of your upper arms. This is not a weight loss procedure, rather, it is the make your arms looks more natural and youthful. The drawbacks include having a scar that is along the arm, or, if it is a mini arm lift (short scar brachioplasty), the incision is hidden in the armpit. There is expected swelling and bruising after surgery, and most surgeons will use a drain and a compression garment/sleeve to help with the swelling. Hope this helps!
Liposuction with an arm lift is common and considered safe. In the correct hands this addition can maximize your results from the lift and give you the best contour. If done incorrectly or too aggressively it can negatively impact the final result. I encourage you to meet with a few board certified plastic surgeons to discuss your concerns and learn more about the procedure.
