Am I good candidate for bodytite on the arms? (photos)

Question

I don't want to have an arm lift because of the scar, so im hoping that bodytite will work for me. If not bodytite, would a mini arm lift work?

Hello !

In good hands, you could greatly benefit from BodyTite.

It is best to consult with a surgeon who is experienced with the technology.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

Hello LisaAnn,
      Thank you for your questions and photographs. Judging by the pictures, you appear to have good muscle tone in your arms but some excess skin, too.

If your skin laxity is significant, a Brachioplasty is the most effective solution, while RF or J-Plasma may help in mild to moderate cases.

Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) – Best for severe sagging, this surgery removes excess skin and fat to reshape the upper arm. It results in a scar along the inner arm but provides dramatic tightening.
If you don't want a surgical scar, these are other options:
Minimally Invasive & Non-Surgical Options
Liposuction—If excess fat contributes to sagging, liposuction can help contour the arms. However, it doesn't significantly tighten significantly loose skin.
Renuvion (J-Plasma) uses plasma energy to tighten skin. It is often combined with liposuction for mild to moderate laxity.
Radiofrequency (RF) Treatments: Devices like Morpheus8 or Thermage use RF energy to stimulate collagen production, resulting in mild tightening over time.
However, to assess what could help, an in-person consultation is necessary. I recommend seeking several consultations with experienced, board-certified surgeons to discover your options. 
Good Luck, 
Best,
Dr. Adam Kinal

Hello, thank you for your inquiry and for providing your photos. In order to determine if you are a suitable candidate for Vaser liposuction, I would require a face to face assessment in order to assess the quality of skin. 
However. based on these photos, in my opinion the initial option would be a surgical arm lift, which is a rather invasive procedure that necessitates a lengthy scar on your arm. If you are not keen on undergoing this surgery, then the second, less invasive option would be to combine Vaser liposuction with either Bodytite or Renuvion/J Plasma. This combined procedure boosts the likelihood of skin tightening, reducing the risk of "saggy" skin.

It is essential to perform a thorough surgical evaluation during an in-person consultation to evaluate the quality of your skin (elasticity) and the amount of fat that must be removed before proceeding with the surgery and your expectations. I typically perform this procedure under local anesthesia. However this procedure can be perform also in sedation or general anesthesia as per patient's preference. 
I recommend scheduling an appointment with a surgeon who is an expert in body contouring and skin tightening procedures for a medical/surgical evaluation to receive a customized surgical or medical treatment plan.
Best wishes, 
Dr. Giuseppe Fiore.

From your photos it appears you will have the best results from an arm lift which will address both excess fat and skin.  You can consider BodyTite with liposuction.  It should provide improvement but it will not yield the same results as an arm lift and you risk having some loose skin. I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation and to discuss your goals for surgery.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

In order to determine if bodytiitr will be effective, or for that matter, some of the other procedures like Renuvion, you need to be evaluated in person. If Plastic surgeon needs to put his hands on your skin and see how much looseness there is. Your whole body needs to be evaluate it. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery
