Upper Arm Rejuvenation Before & After Case 1198

This 32 year old requested improvement in the appearance of her arms which she says have bothered her for a long time. The patient said she was chubby for years, then lost 30 pounds through diet and exercise which she has maintained. She said she had 3 Coolsculpting sessions elsewhere which made little improvement. The patient is 5’7” tall and weighs 145 pounds. She asked Dr. Parker to contour her arms and tighten the skin. Dr. Parker discussed all options with the patient. After consideration of all these, she opted for BodyTite along with liposuction. Dr. Parker had explained that this would allow him to remove unwanted fat and sculpture her arms. At the same time, he would non surgically tighten up the mild soft tissue laxity on her arms with state of the art radio frequency technology. Dr. Parker explained he would insert a very thin probe under the skin which would communicate with a second probe on the skin. Using radiofrequency energy, the internal probe would heat up the intervening soft tissues and skin to prescribed temperature parameters. Over the ensuing months, the patient’s body would form collagen bringing about a progressive tightening of the skin. Subsequently under local anesthesia, Dr. Parker performed this procedure as described. In doing so, he removed 300 cc of fat from each arm. The patient said the recovery was easy and she is very happy with the improved contour and skin tightening of her arms.
