Many patients weigh between having an arm lift and liposuction as a solution for toning the upper arms. During your initial consultation, Dr. Jude LaBarbera will conduct a physical examination and help determine the best treatment plan for you. Arm Liposuction is usually used to remove excess fat from your upper arms region. However, an arm lift still has to be performed in order to tighten the skin and give a more natural look. In some cases where there’s no excess fat to be removed, liposuction might not even be needed. Given your skin’s elasticity, amount of fat that needs to be excised and your expected outcome, Dr. LaBarbera should be able to plan an effective arm lift procedure for you.
