If you’re considering an arm lift (brachioplasty) to address sagging skin on your upper arms, you may also have the option of combining it with liposuction. While an arm lift removes loose skin and tightens the underlying tissue, liposuction targets stubborn fat deposits. Combining both procedures delivers smoother, more sculpted arms with optimal results.
At Orange County Cosmetic Surgery in Huntington Beach, CA, Dr. Anthony Miller offers advanced arm lift procedures with liposuction to help patients achieve smoother, more sculpted upper arms. With a commitment to delivering natural, stunning results, Dr. Miller takes a personalized approach to ensure each patient receives the best treatment for their unique aesthetic goals.
Why an Arm Lift Alone May Not Be Enough
An arm lift is for individuals struggling with excess skin, particularly after significant weight loss or aging. However, if stubborn fat is also present, skin removal alone may not achieve the desired arm contour. Some patients with residual fat may still notice bulkiness or an uneven shape even after surgery.
Additionally, arm lift surgery alone does not significantly enhance muscle definition—it simply removes excess skin. If excess fat contributes to the lack of definition, liposuction can help refine the results.
How Liposuction Enhances Arm Lift Results
Liposuction removes localized fat deposits with a thin tube called a cannula. When combined with an arm lift, it offers several benefits:
- More Toned & Defined Arms: Liposuction removes excess fat, allowing for a more sculpted appearance.
- Smoother Contours: Fat removal helps create a more even transition between the shoulder and elbow.
- Better Skin Contraction: Removing fat before excising skin allows for a more precise and natural-looking result.
- Longer-Lasting Results: Since fat cells are permanently removed, the risk of future sagging due to excess weight is reduced.
Who Should Consider Both Procedures?
A combined arm lift with liposuction is ideal for:
- Individuals with both excess skin and stubborn fat in the upper arms
- Patients looking for a more contoured and toned result
- Those who want to avoid a bulky or uneven appearance after surgery
