An arm lift primarily addresses sagging or drooping skin on the upper arms, which commonly occurs due to aging, significant weight loss, or genetics. On the other hand, liposuction targets stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. By combining liposuction with an arm lift, you can achieve more comprehensive results. Liposuction can effectively remove excess fat from the upper arms, enhancing the arm’s overall shape and definition. When performed alongside an arm lift, liposuction can provide a more balanced outcome, ensuring that the arms not only appear firmer but also have a smoother and more sculpted appearance. If you do not have many fat deposits and your main concern is sagging skin, a traditional arm lift might be the way to go. However, if you have substantial fat deposits, including liposuction with your arm lift can help achieve better results. Dr. Kramer will assess your unique situation and recommend the most appropriate approach based on your individual goals and physical characteristics. It’s important to note that combining liposuction with an arm lift may involve a longer and more complex surgery compared to a traditional arm lift. The recovery process might also be slightly more involved. However, the benefits, including enhanced arm contouring and improved confidence, are definitely worth it.
