Hello Great Drs I wanted to know if an arm lift or liposuction will be preferred in my case. I wouldn't want a lift because of scars.. But just trying to inquire minds to see if Lipo will do me any good.
Answer: Arm Lipo vs. Lift Hello! Thank you for uploading your photos and for a great question. Based on the photos, you would be a good candidate for either an arm lift or liposuction to the upper arms with radiofrequency skin tightening (like BodyTite) if you are wanting to avoid the scars of an arm lift. In some angles, your arms look smaller than others, so it is hard to tell. It is important to know that although an arm lift does leave a large scar, it does a great job at removing excess skin and fat to the upper arms. It is up to you to decide whether you are willing to exchange excess fat and skin for a scar! Liposuction + skin tightening could be a good alternative for you to avoid the scar - you may not need an arm lift after this procedure. Good luck!

Answer: Arm lift or arm liposuction? Liposuction alone can have a dramatic effect on reduction of arm volume. The skin "hang" often is smaller/less as there is less volume. If desired, you can have a brachioplasty if you are wanting to maximize the rejuvenation of your arms. I would not hesitate to proceed with liposuction. Thank you.

Answer: Brachioplasty Thank you for your inquiry! You are a great candidate for a Brachioplasty procedure as that will remove excess skin to your arms. Liposuction to both arms can also be done in the same procedure. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself to create a surgical plan targeted towards your specific goals.

Answer: I think an arm lift would be better. Hello aseri84, in my opinion there's a significant amount of excess skin and volume, which would prevent you from having good results with liposuction only. That zone in the arm is particularly bad at retracting after liposuction because it's usually composed of thin skin with less retractile components. I can also see some stretch marks, which mean that the skin doesn't have a great quality at this point and will not retract as much after a volume reducing procedure (liposuction only, or even combined with skin tightening technology). If you want the best results, or at least good results, I'd recommend opting for an arm lift. Have a great day!

Answer: Hello Hello, in the photos you can see that you have excess skin and fat accumulated on your arm, which is why I would recommend liposuction and skin removal in the same surgery to have a good result. Thank you.
