Loved this vid Dr!! Super informative
I had weight loss surgery in 2010 and definitely looking into this after my tummy tuck.
mines in 4 days.. i had a 360 body lift, inner thigh lift, face and neck lift and now getting the arm lift with rhinoseptoplasty . Hope youre ok now and healed . im nit sure where you are but I fly to Lithuania, its such an amazing place, high tech for plastic surgeons AND its 75% cheaper than the UK or Spain!!! im paying €4800 for arm lift and nose job xxx
After massive weight loss, this procedure changes lives. The only better one might be a tummy tuck, but after that its a Brachioplasty.
Hello Dr. Thomas. Ive been thinking about having this surgery for about 4 years and am still worried about disappointing results. Ive lost 20kg and have only minor skin laxity. My arm fat has always been an issue even when i was thin before any weight gain. My question is why dont surgeons perform liposuction ALL THE WAY ROUND the arms? I have excess fat all around my arms. What is the purpose of only fixing the lower side of the arms and not the upper? As far as i know theres only one surgeon (i think hes coined it celebrity arms) who is offering this and explains that surgeons are only trained to remove fat from the lower part, but in his own research and trials he found that skin naturally retracts after liposuction and will attach itself back onto the remaining fat so will not sag. So he offers this 360 degree approach. Unfortunately he charges an ungodly amount because he is the only surgeon offering this method. Why dont other surgeons jump on the wagon and offer this surgery?
I perform 360 liposuction of the arms on almost all my arm lifts. I just haven't coined a term for it. If you have mild laxity though, liposuction + bodytite has been giving me some impressive results recently. Hopefully I can post some here soon.
Love your video, very informative, I want to get this procedure done, I would like to get the liposuction first and then after awhile get the extra skin removal; do you think is it a good idea?
I do this sometimes if there’s a lot of fat in the upper arms. We do a debulking stage followed by a skin removal stage later
I'm hoping to consult with you in early 2025 about lipedema official diagnosis and treatment plan. How long is the current waiting time for an appointment? I don't want to put myself in the position of waiting too long to call for an appointment and then waiting 6 months for an open time slot. (I have been in that situation and it messes up my plans😅) Thanks!
Very informative I want this surgery. But I'm in Florida
Born and raised in West Palm. Wish I was still down there.
My surgery is scheduled for this October. But I plan on being pregnant by next spring. Do you recommend I move forward with the surgery??? Will I regain all the weight back and undo the work with pregnancy gain???
On invisible arm and leg lift please
it would help if you answered the questions... Id like to know some stuff too as mines in 4 days...... and im terrified
You're going to do awesome! The recovery is different for everyone, but generally speaking recovery from this isn't too bad. Let us know how it goes.
How much is a surgery like this
my practitioners can't seem to do simple procedures correctly these days.....so.....
How do doctors prevent those risks you mentioned?
Training is a big part of it. A plastic surgeon who's board certified or board eligible by the American Board of Plastic Surgery is the ONLY surgeon who's appropriately trained to do these procedures. That's by far the best way to minimize your risk of complications. Also, good nutrition and exercise before surgery. The healthier someone is, the lower the risk of complications overall in general.
@@DrHagopian I lost a significant amt of weight and I am wanting to get this done but I am wanting to know if anyone would allow me to pay for the procedure before I get it done? (Make payments) I have asked around but no one replies. Is there someone in the KC area you know of that I could speak with?
@@jessicaburnette5224 don't know anyone in KC but look into care credit or patientFi for financing. Many practices accept this for payment
@@DrHagopian Thanks for your response! Do you have an email? I have tried the credit but my score is not that great so I don't get approved. Thank you so much.
you are Armenian❤️👍
His dad..perhaps ?
You can't tell many times
Ian or yan last names
@kathleenking47 Yes - I'm half - when the last name ends in "yan", it was because way back in the day, some Armenians did not want their ethnicity known. It was too obvious with "ian".
@@barbaralynch3015 I didn't know that. I do know, that many were in Fresno CA around the mid-late 1800s
@@kathleenking47 Oh yes, my mother had many relatives in CA.
There were many Armenians also in Northern NJ and MA.
