Before and after liposuction of the arms in a 46 year old woman. She had previously gained a significant amount of weight in a short period of time, as evidenced by her upper arm stretch marks. She worked hard to get her weight back to a more healthy number, but she had persistent fat collections in her arms that were resistant to diet and exercise.
Liposuction of the arms permanently removed this fat and helped her appreciate her good muscle tone underneath. She took 3 weeks off exercise after surgery and continued her commitment to a healthier lifestyle, including a healthy diet and regular weight bearing exercise.
Follow up photos are shown over a year and a half after surgery. Her skin has likely contracted to the best of its ability at this point after surgery. She can continue to build up lean muscle tone by regular exercise and light upper body weights to further accentuate her results.
