Toned and taut – you wish your upper arms were like that. But in reality, age has made your arms flabby and one of the first places fat settles. The solution? You’ve got two:

1) Arm lift. Perfect for flab that’s from poorskin elasticity, an arm lift removes sagginess by getting rid of excess tissue, whether it’s skin and/or fat.

2) Liposuction. Fat upper arms can slim down with liposuction, which will remove excess subcutaneous fat deposits to recontour the area. While laser assisted liposuction, like Smartlipo, can tighten the skin a bit, serious sagging is better addressed with an arm lift. In fact, you can get lipo and an arm lift at the same time.

Not ready for cosmetic surgery? Target your upper arm muscles by doing lots of reps on lighter weight, rather than heavier weight and lower reps. This will help tone rather than bulk up. You can also fill your closet with long and 3/4 length sleeve tops. Choose looser sleeves to avoid showing off those bulges.
