Arm Liposuction

Arm Liposuction is a procedure that involves removing extra fat from the arms to make them firmer and slimmer.

Popular arm liposuction techniques

  • Tumescent Liposuction: This straightforward and widely used procedure involves injecting a special solution into the target areas in order to break up fat cells and facilitate fat removal.
  • Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL): In this procedure, high-frequency sound waves are used to break up fat cells and facilitate fat removal.
  • Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL): In this procedure, a vibrating cannula is used to break up fat cells and facilitate fat removal.
  • Vaser Liposuction: In this procedure, special high-frequency sound waves are used to precisely remove fat and minimize damage to surrounding tissue.
  • BodyTite: This innovative procedure combines liposuction with radiofrequency (RF) energy. Compared to conventional liposuction, this procedure can effectively tighten the skin and produces better results.

Details of the arm liposuction

  • Pre-operative preparation: The doctor will assess your physical condition and appropriateness for surgery, and provide advice on preparation, such as refraining from certain foods and medications prior to the surgery.
  • Surgical procedure: An injection of local or general anesthesia is given to the patient. A tiny incision is made in the elbow or underarm, and a thin tube is placed so that suction can be used to remove the fat. 
  • Post-operative care: Pain, bruising, or swelling are possible following surgery. In order to hasten healing and tighten the skin, the doctor will advise you on wound care, medication, and wearing a compression garment.

Considerations

  • Skin condition: Consider getting an arm lift if the skin is extremely saggy. 
  • Fat volume: Liposuction might not be sufficient if there is a significant buildup of fat. There may be a need for additional tactics, such diet and exercise regimes.
  • Expectations: It is best to consult your doctor to learn about the anticipated outcomes and possible risks.

Choosing the right clinic for arm liposuction

  • Standards: It is advisable that you select a clinic with qualified staff and standards. 
  • Specialist Doctor: You should choose a clinic with specialists in plastic surgery.
  • Experience: You should choose a clinic that has experience in arm liposuction.
