Does Smart Lipo work for arms?

Liposuction of the arms works great in most cases if you don't have a lot of excess skin. It sounds like it would work in your case. I would recommend losing the rest of the weight first as you will get a better result long term.

My team performs 2-3 liposuction surgerys per day. We have amazing success and will have you proud of your arms in no time. Give us a look. Best of luck

Usually, the skin will tighten and firm sufficiently following smart lipo of the arms to look good. As long as there is no significant sagginess to the skin before surgery. Compression worn afterwords will also help to tighten the skin.

                 The localized fatty deposition can be improved with liposuction.   Liposuction results are highly surgeon dependent.  I think that you will have a great result with the right surgeon.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of liposuction procedures each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Smartlipo for the arms is a great procedure if you have stubborn fat deposits in the area. This will help to contour the arms and tighten the skin as well. Consult with your surgeon and find out if this will contour your body the way you want.

Smart lipo, a type of Laser Lipo technology, destroys fat cells and promotes skin tightening.  This dual effect simultaneously tones and sculpts the skin while removing unwanted fat. Therefore, using Laser Lipo on the arms will not result in saggy skin. It will result in a tighter area with less fat.  This is all done through a minimally invasive procedure, with virtually no downtime.

Thank you very much for your question.  It really gets to the heart of who is and who is not an appropriate candidate for smart lipo. The most important factor in assessing a candidate for Liposuction irrespective of whether it is traditional liposuction, liposculpture or smart Lipo is the quality of the skin.  If skin quality is not good, then removing fat will leave arms flabby and unattractive.  However, if the skin quality is good, and the fat is minimal, then smart Lipo may be an alternative treatment to traditional liposuction.  In the end, the most important thing is that you achieve the result that you have always wanted. The right procedure to achieve this result is a combination of a proper physical examination, good communication and an experienced board certified plastic surgeon.

I find I have great success performing SmartLipo on upper arms, even if there is mild laxity/looseness.  I think the keys to success lie in the surgeon's primary technique and approach to using the SmartLipo laser, the original size of the arms, adequate length of compression, and the patient's realistic expectations.
