Crease after liposuction of the arm - What is wrong here? How can it be fixed? (Photos)

Question

I had liposuction done on my arms a few years back and now I'm left with what looks like a crease. What went wrong? Can this be fixed?

David Hansen, MD · Answer

Getting a mini arm lift gives such amazing results under local and has a hidden incision in  the arm pits. It really tightens up the arms and you get lipo and bodytite/quantum/morpheus all at the same time for best results.

From what i can see in the pictures it appears that the liposuction was likely only carried out from the elbo or maybe from the front. I think improving the contours of your upper arm on the posterior (back side) can significantly improve the area of concern for you. It may not eliminate the crease all together but it will 100% be much less noticeable.

Dear Brave62058,

I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Most likely this can be corrected with fat transfers in a small amount.  This can be done under local anesthesia at a minimal cost.

Best Wishes,

Contour irregularities can occur from liposuction.  It appears certain areas were over suctioned.  It can be improved but a revision will be needed.  You could also consider adding J-Plasma or even BodyTite to tighten the skin.  See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.
