Am I a good candidate for arm lipo? (Photo)

Thanks so much for your question,
If you have excess fat that doesn’t go away with diet and exercise, liposuction can slim and contour your arms and If your skin has some looseness but still has elasticity, skin tightening treatments (like J-Plasma or BodyTite ) can help firm it up.

I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.
Respectfully,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Additional footage would be ideal to better see the condition of the skin, however, multiple liposuction in the same area can also cause the skin to loosen further more and become thinner, which can then result in irregularities. In the case of the skin is more so on the loose side liposuction would not be beneficial . I would recommend to wait for later down the road when you’re ready for an arm lift to get the best results through that procedure.

Dear 40yearoldtuneup,

it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
