I am looking for a doctor in California that specializes in the arms. I will need an arm lift since I have poor skin elasticity on my upper arms. However, I would like lipo all over my arms! I believe the traditional way to lipo the arms is just to do the bottom, hanging, bat wing portion, but my arms have fat on the front and sides too. Can't those be removed as well, so I too can have "celebrity arms?" Also, based on my pics, any chance I can get a mini arm lift instead of a traditional one?
