I am in my late thirties and I hate my arms. I seem to be getting those flabby fat deposits in my arms. Can this be improved with liposuction?
Absolutely. However, liposuction should be used to sculpt the fat deposits. If too much fat is removed, then the skin becomes deflated and this can make the area look worse. Generally the goal is a 20-30% improvement.

- I had a C- section with my last pregnancy. My daughter is now four. I’ve lost my “baby fat,” but I have this roll of fat just above my C-section scar that I can’t seem to loose. I saw a plastic surgeon who told me I needed a tummy tuck but I really don’t want my C-section scar made bigger and also he told me I’ll have a scar around my belly button. Isn’t there some other option?

- I previously had liposuction. I don’t think it was done with tumescent because I had general anesthesia. I definitely had an improvement but the surgery left me with some irregularities. In particular, my belly button looks like there is a donut around it. Can anything be done about these irregularities?
- I had liposuction a few years ago and I think that in a few places the doctor took too much fat. I actually think that in a few places the skin is sitting on my muscle. Is there anything that can be done about this?
