I had an arm lift procedure done recently and the doctor performed little to no liposuction despite my arms being huge (over 17 inches) I’m happy to have the loose skin gone but I still have lots of fat there and my aren’t weren’t shaped using lipo as I had hoped. My question is it possible to get liposuction now with skin tightening (Morpheus 8 & body tite) and not face as much risk with loose skin as the area isn’t as loose anymore?
Answer: Arms Yes, once you have healed 6 months, then you can consider liposuction for your arms. BodyTite might also be helpful.

Answer: Liposuction after a tuck Liposuction is extremely effective after an arm lift because all of the slack in the arm has been eliminated. This allows your liposuction surgeon to focus on eliminating volume without worrying about creating extra skin that will create contour irregularities. Please consider a virtual consultation with a high definition body contouring specialist.

Answer: Liposuction Yes, you can have further liposuction after an arm lift, but you will need to wait until you are fully recovered from your initial procedure. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon. You mentioned your surgery was recent. You may still have swelling present from your procedure.

Answer: Liposuction Dear Valentinaavm, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, a previous arm lift is not a contraindication for liposuction. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Post-Arm Lift Concerns: Is Liposuction an Option? Dear Valentinaavm, Thank you for your question. I understand your concern and desire for slimmer and more contoured arms. It's generally possible to have liposuction after an arm lift. However, the timing and the specific techniques used would depend on various factors including your overall health, the state of your healing from the arm lift, and the amount of residual fat and skin elasticity. Morpheus 8 and BodyTite are both treatments that can help tighten the skin after liposuction. Morpheus 8 uses fractionated radio-frequency to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. BodyTite also uses radio-frequency technology and can assist in melting fat as well as tightening skin. However, each person's situation is unique, and it's essential to have a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can assess your individual circumstances and make recommendations based on your goals, the condition of your skin, and other factors. Remember, it's also important to have realistic expectations. While these procedures can help improve the contour and appearance of your arms, they may not lead to "perfect" results. Again, it's crucial that you discuss your desires and concerns with your surgeon, who can provide you with the most accurate and personalized advice. Thank you for reaching out, and I wish you the best of luck on your journey to achieving the results you desire. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen
