I'm 53 & have severe cellulite on my arms, as I know nothing will completely get rid of it but that has to be some kind of procedure that would help. I had liposuction on my arms & stomach in 2017 & it was a botched surgery, my stomach is full of dimpling but that doesn't worry me as much as my arms as they are horrendous. HELP ME PLEASE
Answer: Arm revision Unfortunately, there are limitations to what can be improved. Arms will likely require a combination of further liposuction and/or fat transfer for unevenness, with skin excision. You are correct, the cellulite cannot be completely removed. Hopefully, contour and smoothness can be improved. An exam and consultation with your/a plastic surgeon is recommended to further discuss your options and expectations.

Answer: Arms I would first use Morpheus micro-needling and Renuvion to tighten the skin as much as possible, then later do very careful fat transfers to fill in the dips.

Answer: Best Procedure for Severe Cellulite on Arms Thank you for your question on your biceps cellulite post-liposuction. In essence: Your arm cellulite appears to be a result of scarring from liposuction. This can cause dimpling similar to natural cellulite. To address this, a brachioplasty (arm lift) is recommended: Procedure: It eliminates excess skin and fat from the upper arm. An incision is made from the armpit to the elbow, removing excess skin. Duration: 3 to 4 hours under general anesthesia. Recovery: Return to desk jobs in 2 weeks. For more physical roles, 3 to 4 weeks. This procedure should improve the appearance of your arms. Best wishes!

Answer: Treatment of "cellulite" of upper arms Hi and welcome to our forum!From your photos, I note significant skin surface irregularity and surface scarring of the upper arms, most likely involving the underlying soft tissues as well. In addition, the skin envelope of the upper arm appears lax as well. The risk / benefit ratio must be considered. Surgery in a scarred area where the blood supply to the tissues has been previously manipulated incurs increased risk of complication. Tightening the skin by removing the excess adds another significant scar extending from armpit to elbow on the inner aspect of the arm. This may improve but not eliminate the skin contour irregularity. Visit a board certified plastic surgeon for in-person evaluation.Best wishes...
