Arm liposuction is an aesthetic procedure designed to remove excess fat from the upper arms and help create a firmer and contoured appearance. Many people struggle with stubborn fat in this area despite regular exercise and a healthy diet. Liposuction can effectively target localized fat deposits and result in slimmer arms and increased self-confidence. It is important to note that liposuction can improve the shape of your arms but does not remove skin laxity. For those with significant sagging, additional procedures such as arm lifts may be recommended. Before undergoing arm liposuction, candidates should consult a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss their goals and expectations. The procedure usually involves small incisions through which a thin tube called a cannula is inserted to suction the fat. Recovery times can vary, but most patients experience swelling and bruising for a few weeks after surgery. It is very important to adhere to a comprehensive care plan for optimal results, including maintaining a healthy lifestyle to help maintain the new contours achieved with the procedure.
