Is Liposuction Enough to Tighten Loose Arm Skin

You’re not alone if you’ve noticed sagging skin on your upper arms that won’t firm up. Many people experience this as they age or lose weight. Dr David Boudana is often asked whether liposuction alone can solve the problem at his plastic surgery clinic in Forest Hill, North York and Toronto. While liposuction can remove stubborn fat, it’s not always the best solution for loose skin.

Can Liposuction Tighten Arm Skin?

Liposuction is excellent for targeting and removing excess fat but relies on your skin’s natural elasticity to tighten around the new, slimmer shape. This works well for people with firm, rejuvenated skin, but if your skin has lost its elasticity, liposuction alone can leave you with looser skin rather than a toned appearance.

For many patients at his Forest Hill, North York and Toronto plastic surgery clinic, Dr. David Boudana finds that liposuction works best in combination with other treatments when the skin is loose. During a consultation, he will assess your skin’s elasticity and help you decide whether an arm lift is the best choice.

What Does an Arm Lift Do?

Arm lift, or brachioplasty is designed to address sagging skin. In this procedure, Dr. Boudana removes excess skin and tightens the remaining tissue to create a smoother, more defined appearance. This approach often produces the most satisfying results for those with significant sagging, especially compared to liposuction alone.

Why Combine Liposuction and an Arm Lift?

Sometimes, the best solution is a combination. Liposuction removes unwanted fat, while an arm lift deals with loose skin. This combination produces a much smoother, more natural result for people who want both volume reduction and tighter contours. Dr Boudana often recommends this approach to achieve balanced, long-lasting results that delight patients with their new appearance.
