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:

  1. improve a disproportionate appearance of the arm, compared to the rest of the body
  2. allow the patient to feel more comfortable and less self-conscious while wearing a sleeveless or short sleeved blouse
  3. 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.
