Will an arm lift improve the appearance of cellulite on my arms?
While an arm lift can address excess skin and fat on the upper arms, it is important to note that it may not directly improve the appearance of cellulite. However, in some cases, the tightening of the skin during the procedure may have a positive impact on the overall texture and contour of the arms, potentially reducing the visibility of cellulite to some extent. Your surgeon will evaluate your specific concerns during the consultation and discuss the best treatment options available to achieve your desired outcome.

A good candidate for liposuction is someone who has reached a stable weight and has localized areas of excess fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. It is important to have realistic expectations and understand that liposuction is not a weight-loss solution but rather a body contouring technique. A thorough consultation with a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon will help determine if you are a suitable candidate for liposuction based on your unique needs and goals.
