Get Toned Arms With Arm Liposuction

Many people have the goal of attaining those attractive toned and contoured arms. They work out, exercise regularly and do everything they can to achieve that desired look of more shapely arms. However, toning this area can be extremely frustrating due to the exercise-resistant fat deposits that occur in the arms. This means that no matter how much you exercise or diet, these unattractive fat deposits may remain.

Luckily, the arm liposuction procedure can help you achieve that desired look of toned and well-shaped arms.

Arm liposuction can help remove fat deposits that are not responding to exercise. While you will get a more toned look, you will also experience the benefit of your clothing fitting better, give you a more attractive appearance.

The arm liposuction procedure can treat:

  • Hanging skin — This is the look of those drooping skin flaps
  • Anterior axillary fat pads — This fat is located on the chest in front of the armpit
  • Posterior axillary fat pads — These are fat deposits just behind the armpit located on the side of the back

The Arm Liposuction Procedure

Arm liposuction is a relatively simple and pain-free procedure. It begins with an injection of a local anesthesia in the treatment area. After the site is sufficiently numbed, another solution containing saline, epinephrine, and an additional anesthetic will be injected. The solution mixes with the fat causing it to plump. This plumping or tumescent action makes it easier for the fat to be removed. Additionally, the epinephrine will reduce bruising or blood loss. Tiny cannulas are then used to suction out the fat.

Recovery will be quick and there is little to no down time. Patients can usually return to their normal routines the very next day. However, heavy lifting and strenuous exercise is not recommended for about 10 days. Patients will wear compression garments to aid in the healing process, as well as help contour the area properly.

Who is a Good Candidate?

Good candidates for arm liposuction are in generally good health and are of normal weight, but who are experience fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise. While arm liposuction is considered to be a permanent solution, fatty arms can return if you gain weight.
