I have a lot of muscle, am I eligible for an arm lift? (Photos)

We would need to know a little bit more about your medical history, for instance, if you fluctuated and weight or lost large amounts of weight which can contribute to the skin becoming loose, however, if none of those have occurred, perhaps just liposuction with J plasma would do which is a technology combined with Liposuction to help tighten the skin!

Thank you for your inquiry! :Liposuction with renuvion might be an option for you. We would love to meet with you to discuss your concerns. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic to discuss your goals.

Thank you for your question regarding arm lift eligibility and concerns about excess skin. I appreciate your provided history and images. After a thorough examination, here are my insights:
Excessive arm skin seems not a prominent issue in your case. There might be a slight presence of arm fat, but not substantial. Considering this, I believe your arms would respond well to arm liposuction. Specifically, I recommend Vaser high-definition arm liposuction.
Vaser high-definition arm liposuction offers tailored sculpting opportunities, including:
Refinement of the anterior and posterior deltoid muscle borders.
Sculpting of the triceps and biceps intersection on the posterior and medial arm areas.
Targeted treatment for any isolated fat pockets.
In light of this assessment, I propose Vaser high-definition arm liposuction as a more suitable option over an arm lift (brachioplasty). Your case doesn't appear to necessitate extensive skin removal.
Your question is greatly appreciated. Should you decide to proceed, I wish you the best on your journey.
Warm regards,
Dr. Katzen

Hello !

Based on your pictures, it doesn’t look like you are a good candidate for a brachioplasty (arm lift). I would recommend BodyTite.

BodyTite is a technique that requires minimal incisions and can enhance the appearance of your upper arms by tightening the skin and restoring its toned and attractive look. The procedure combines radiofrequency energy with liposuction to make the process of removing fat and tightening skin faster and simpler.


I hope this helps,
best of luck !

You need to be examined to see if you have much extra fat. The Renuvion treatment with minimally invasive skin tightening with radiofrequency might be helpful. You do not need a tuck.

It appears you may be a candidate for BodyTite. This minimally invasive procedure removes fat and tightens skin through RF technology. No general anesthesia is required. Visit my website or a provider near you to determine if you are a good candidate. I've also included a video I hope you find helpful.

Hi, on your submitted images, you do have toned arms. Good job on that. There is moderate fatty tissue in the arms but no excess skin. This is good because you do not need an arm lift surgery to involve an incision. Liposuction can address the excess fat, and since your skin tone is good and free of stretch marks, the skin will tighten up soon after.

An arm lift or a brachioplasty is always a good option to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms, but you have to be willing to accept the resulting scars. A traditional arm lift scar runs down the entire length of the arm and is typically on the underside or inner part of the arm. There are midified versions of arm lifts where a wedge of tissue is removed from the arm pit area but this technique does not remove as much tissue as the traditional surgery. The other option to consider is liposuction +/- J plasm or renuvion. This option allows for removal of excess fat with the liposuciton and then the J plasma is used to help tighten up the skin. Based on your photos, I think you would be a good candidate for the last option seeing as you do not seem to have a large amount of excess skin and fat in the area.

Good morning, looking at your photos, you do have muscle mass, but there are some discreet deposits of fat and minimal flaccidity, and since you have a fitness body, I suggest you have laser liposuction of your arms and it would improve your contour and the result would be very satisfactory when defining your body in this area.
