Armpit Liposuction

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.
