I am 35 yrs old and have always had undefined arms with a tinge of "wing fat". As I'm getting older I'm noticing the skin sagging a lil bit more and want to do something now before it gets outta hand. Not all DRs offer all 3 modalities in their office and usually they advocate the service they offer.....but how do you know which is best for a minimal effect if fat removal and skin tightening without a need for major skin or fat removal??

Answer: Arm Fat and Results The best results for the arms come from liposuction, and you can even get additional skin tightening none of the non invasive devices do. Other devices, nonsurgical also have a very difficult time with "contouring" and that is especially important with the arm area. I would suggest seeing someone who does both surgical and nonsurgical contouring so you get the best options. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Best option for best looking upper arms Thank you for your question. A photo would be very helpful in giving your the most beneficial answers to your questions. The best treatment most certainly depends on how loose your skin and how much of it there is. Cool Sculpting will modestly decrease the amount of fat in your arms, but will do nothing to tighten the skin. Traditional liposuction can remove a much larger volume of fatty tissue, but will also do nothing to tighten your loose skin and may even exacerbate the issue by creating more loose skin due to volume loss. If you are an appropriate candidate that has moderate fat deposits and moderately loose skin, Smart Lipo is a very good treatment solution. Small laser and liposuction cannulas are utilized to break up the fatty tissue and remove it, then the laser is utilized again to treat the under-surface of the skin which creates new collagen and thickens/tightens the skin. If you have an excess of loose skin/fat, the best solution would be a surgical arm lift or brachioplasty. An exam is the only way to definitively answer your question about which treatment is best for you, and will give you optimal results. Please seek consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to explore your options. Best wishes!
