Patients who have excess fat inside their arms may be candidates for liposuction, but arm lift patients typically do not have excess fat as their primary problem. The biggest issue is typically excessive sagging and loose, hanging skin. The only way to correct this problem is through a brachioplasty plastic surgery procedure. Patients who have relatively good skin tone but also have excess fat in the arms can sometimes achieve their desired results with an exercise and diet regime that incorporates the use of weights.
