I'm a 40 year old female. I had liposuction done and now I have loose skin. I've never had this before. What can I do to tighten my arms?
Answer: Skin laxity From the provided photo it appears you will have the best result from an arm lift. You may have some improvement from non invasive options but due to the amount of laxity it will not likely be the same as the surgical option.

Answer: Recommend doing morpheus8 treatments to help tighten up on wanted loose skin Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Loose arm skin Morpheus8 body would be a possible minimally invasive solution for your residual loose skin. A single 4mm depth treatment would cause muscle contraction, skin tightening and even a little additional fat destruction.

Answer: Candidacy for brachioplasty Hi and welcome to our forum! From your photo, I note considerable skin sag of the upper arms associated with overlying stretch marks. Stretch marks indicate the presence of permanently damaged overstretched skin usually occurring during pregnancy or significant weight fluctuation where when pregnant or heavy, the skin's dermal elastic fibers rupture, resulting in the loss of elasticity and the development of streaks on the skin surface. The skin will stretch over a greater surface area and will predispose to further sagging. The extent of the sag precludes non-invasive techniques. A brachioplasty will be required. This involves an excision of an ellipse of excess redundant skin from armpit to elbow, placed on the inner aspect of the arm to minimize visible scarring. Visit a board certified plastic surgeon for evaluation and discussion. Best wishes...
