Arm liposuction is designed to allow a woman to
feel more attractive in short sleeve clothing. Many women hide their
upper arms, even in the warmest days, because they are unwilling
to wear sleeveless or short-sleeved shirts. They feel their upper
arms are too big or bulky compared to their body, or that their
skin hangs or is too loose, which gives their arms an unflattering
profile.
The goal of arm liposuction shoulb be to:
- improve a disproportionate appearance of the arm, compared to
the rest of the body
- allow the patient to feel more comfortable and less self-conscious
while wearing a sleeveless or short sleeved blouse
- achieve a thinner appearance of the arms when the arms are in
a relaxed position
The goal is not to remove the maximum possible amount of fat. Arms
that are disproportionately skinny with an otherwise obese body,
might appear deformed rather than attractive.

| Most common benefits
of arm liposuction |
Firm, trim arms create a more youthful
look and can provide an incentive to exercise regularly to maintain
fitness. After liposuction, patients who have been self-conscious
about their heavy arms often feel more comfortable wearing a range
of clothing styles, and they also find that clothes tend to fit
them better.

| What will happen
at the initial consultation? |
During the consultation, you will be able
to talk to your surgeon about the changes that you would
like to make in your appearance. He/she will explain the
different options available to you, the procedure
itself, its risks and limitations, and the costs.
Your surgeon will begin with a physical
examination to evaluate your overall weight, your skin
and muscle tone, and the pattern of distribution of fat
deposits. He/she will also record your medical history,
including any medications that you are currently taking.
Be sure to ask all the questions you have about the procedure, and
ask to see photos of the doctor’s recent patients, before and after
treatment. Also ask for, and follow up on, patient references. Learning
everything you can about your options, risks and benefits is the key
to making an informed decision. See Questions to ask your
doctor below.

| How is arm liposuction
performed? |
During the procedure, the surgeon makes a tiny incision
in the skin, typically near the elbow or in the armpit crease, and
inserts a thin tube called a cannula into the fatty area. The cannula
is used to break up the fat deposits and sculpt the area to the desired
proportions. Unwanted fat is suctioned out with a high pressure vacuum,
leaving the skin, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels intact. There
are many liposuction techniques and each doctor may specialize in
a particular technique or may recommend a paticular liposuction
techqnique for your procedure. Ask your doctor about the technique
he/she will use for your procedure.
