I have loose skin under my arms and I'm not sure which specialist to see for this. Is surgery the only option to get rid of it or are there other treatments available?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Loose skin can be addressed by plastic surgeons. If mild, radiofrequency or ultrasound-based skin tightening helps. For moderate to severe cases, brachioplasty (skin removal surgery) is the solution.

View allI'm considering liposuction but not sure if it's the right choice for me. What are the pros and cons of this procedure? Are there any risks I should know about before deciding? How do I know if I'm a good candidate for this surgery?
Liposuction, a cosmetic surgery, offers the potential to reshape body contours by removing stubborn fat deposits, but it's not a weight loss procedure and carries potential risks and complications. Pros: Improved Body Shape: Liposuction can enhance body contours, particularly in areas where fat is resistant to diet and exercise. Increased Self-Confidence: Improved appearance can boost self-esteem and confidence. Permanent Fat Cell Removal: Liposuction removes fat cells permanently, meaning they won't return if you gain weight. Targeted Fat Reduction: It can address specific areas like the abdomen, thighs, or hips. Cons: Not a Weight Loss Solution: Liposuction primarily reshapes body contours and is not intended for significant weight loss. Risks and Complications: Possible risks include infection, bleeding, numbness, scarring, and uneven results or skin irregularities. Incomplete Fat Removal: Liposuction can't remove all fat in the treated area, and some fat may remain. Potential for Sagging Skin: If skin elasticity is poor, the skin may appear loose or sagging after liposuction.

I've been having some issues after using oil injections, and now I've got these lumps on my buttocks. I got an ultrasound done, and they said the lumps arent in the muscle but in the subcutaneous area. One lump is 31.5 cm on the left and the other is 61.5 cm on the right. It's been about a year now, and I'm really worried about them. What should I do to get rid of these lumps? How can I treat them?
it sounds like you may be experiencing lipomas, which are non-cancerous growths of fat cells. In your case, since the lumps are located in the subcutaneous area of your buttocks and have been present for a year, it is advisable to consider surgical removal as a treatment option. The brand name medication that can be prescribed to help with the pain and inflammation is ibuprofen, 400mg to 800mg every 6 hours as needed. However, for the lump itself, the definitive treatment would be surgical excision. I recommend consulting with a surgeon for further evaluation and to discuss the possibility of surgical removal of the lipomas.
