How it works

Arm liposuction is one of our liposuction procedures. A thin tube called a cannula is used to suction fat cells out of the targeted areas of the upper arms. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia or sedation and may be done as an outpatient procedure, so patients can typically go home the same day.

Benefits of arm liposuction

Improved arm contour: arm liposuction can help reshape and contour the arms, removing excess fat and creating a slimmer, more defined appearance.
Enhanced proportions: by reducing excess fat in the arms, liposuction can help improve overall body proportions, especially for people whose arms carry more fat than the rest of their body.
Increased self-confidence: many people feel self-conscious about excess fat in their arms, especially in sleeveless clothing. Arm liposuction can help boost self-confidence by giving the arms a more toned, sculpted appearance.
Minimal scarring: the incisions are typically small and strategically placed, leaving minimal scarring that is often barely noticeable once healed.
Quick recovery: recovery is usually relatively quick, and most patients can resume normal activities within a few days to a week.
