Arm liposuction, also known as arm lipo, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat from the arms, improving the contour and appearance of the upper arms. This procedure is often sought by patients who have stubborn arm fat that does not respond to diet and exercise.
During the arm liposuction procedure, a tube called a cannula is used to remove fat from the upper arms, providing a more contoured and toned appearance. The procedure can be done awake using local anesthesia or under general anesthesia, depending on the patient's preference. Following the procedure, compression garments are used to support recovery and achieve optimal results. Arm lipo and arm lift surgery can be combined to address both excess fat and loose skin, providing comprehensive arm contouring. The recovery period varies, but most patients can return to normal activities within a few weeks. Liposuction before and after photos can provide an idea of the potential results and help you visualize your new arm contour.
