Liposuction to Arms

Droopy arms can be treated with liposculpture and you can be back to work in 3 days.

For many women bulkiness of the upper arm can be quite distressing. Often the arm will rub when the arm swings while walking. It may be impossible to buy a jacket that fits and wearing an open sleeve dress or shirt may be quite embarrassing. Fortunately, upper arm liposuction can solve these problems quickly and simply.

Through two simple incisions in the elbow area, liposculpture reduces the fatty deposits in the arms while maintaining completely normal shape and function. Rarely is skin looseness a problem and no long incisions to remove skin are necessary. A small pad of fatty tissue sometimes bunches up where the arm meets the chest in front and this can be removed at the same time.

The lower arm can also be treated with liposuction where necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is a candidiate for arm liposcupture?

Any women with heaviness of the arm. If the arm feels out of proportion or looks bulky from behind and jackets don't fit, liposuction of the arm may be of benefit.

Is it permanent?

Yes, the reduction in the size of the arm is permanent, the final result may take a few weeks.

Are there any scars?

There are generally 2 single, small access points 2mm wide at the level of the elbow. These are not sutured after the procedure and essentially are invisible after a couple of weeks.

What other areas are treated at the same time?

Sometimes the full area where the arm joins the chest in front can be treated at the same time or the area of the chest next to the arm.

What support garments are required?

A special arm garment is worn for 3-5 days. This is not visible under a dark long sleeve shirt allowing an early return to work.

How long does the procedure take?

Most arm reduction procedures take from between one and a half to two hours.

How much time will I need off?

In general you can probably return to work the day after the procedure. It would be about three weeks before normal gym activities or jogging should be restarted.
