This is a 66-year-old woman from Woodbury, Minnesota who is interested in re-contouring the arms. The patient had had weight loss with subsequent laxity of the upper arms. At the time of surgery, the patient underwent a liposuction brachioplasty. The liposuction aspirate on the arms was 1 L total between the two arms and then the skin weight was 140 g on the right and 125 g on the left. Postoperatively, the patient was very happy with the appearance of her arms. She felt much more comfortable in short sleeve and sleeveless shirts.
