Who is a candidate for an arm lift?
The best candidate for an arm lift is someone who has lost a large amount of weight and is left with loose, baggy skin. If you still have a large amount of excess fat in your arms, you can still have an arm lift, but extra fat will be present under the remaining skin and will limit the improvement. Patients who have a large amount of excess skin and fat will get the best result with a two stage procedure: the arms are first treated with liposuction and after waiting a couple of months, the residual excess skin is removed.
