Liposuction Arms

Wearing T-shirts or sleeveless tops can be a concern for people with extra fat in their upper arms and armpit area. It can even be difficult to find shirts and coats that fit properly. If there's excess fat in the region, the arm will even rub against the body when walking. If you have any of these problems and have tried working out and dieting without success, then consider an arm liposuction.

An upper arm liposuction procedure can remove the fat deposited in the region without much time and effort. The usual procedure involves small incisions near the elbows, and then insertion of micro-cannulas to break up and remove the fat. Scarring is minimal with these smaller probes. Once the fat is removed, your skin should contract if it's healthy and elastic. Otherwise, you may have to get an arm-lift at the same time to pull back the skin for the right proportionate look.

With the upper arms, a large volume of fat can be removed without obvious signs of surgery. This is one reason why upper arm liposuction is among the most successful and satisfying liposuction treatments available today. The operation is more popular among women than men. That's because women don't necessarily want to work out their arms and have a muscular look. Women prefer a thin look to their arms to complement their body.

Ultimately, an arm liposuction surgery should improve the proportion and appearance of the arm. Additional operations that can be done while doing an arm liposuction are the removal of front and back fat pads at the armpit where the arm meets the chest. The front fat pads can increase with age and is unsightly especially when you're wearing a tight bra. The back fat pads can also create problems when wearing anything that shows your back. Though not necessary, these can undergo liposuction at the same time as your arm liposuction.

The combination of these three liposuction treatments often results in a great boost to confidence when wearing sleeveless blouses and bathing suits. The goal isn't to remove the most amount of fat as possible, though it can be done, but to have the right shape compared to the rest of your body.

That sagging look to your upper arm can be completely eliminated by a skillful surgeon who takes time to remove fat from the entire circumference of your arm. By removing up to three quarters of the fat around the whole arm, the loss in weight can allow your skin to naturally contract and rise.

The recovery process is a bit longer than most other liposuction operations. A compression bandage on the arm will help shape the area while changeable dressings will be needed to help drain the arm.

The most important part of an upper arm liposuction procedure is a careful job well done. A common mistake in surgeons is the uneven or excessive removal of fat. Your surgeon should be more concerned about achieving a feminine and pleasing shape. If you're thinking about thinning your arms but don't bulky and unfeminine muscles, then talk to a plastic surgeon today about arm liposuction.
