Arms Liposuction
Arm Liposuction?
Arms liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves the removal of excess fat from the upper arms. The aim of this procedure is to create a more toned and defined appearance in the arms, which can enhance the overall appearance of the body.
The procedure involves making small incisions (4mm) in the upper arms and using a small cannula to suction out excess fat cells. If required, excess skin is also trimmed out to give best appearance (also called brachioplasty). The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia, and the recovery period is relatively short.
Arm Liposuction before and after
There are many benefits to arms liposuction, including improved self-esteem and confidence, the ability to wear more form-fitting clothing, and a more proportionate body shape. Additionally, arms liposuction combined with brachioplasty can help to reduce the appearance of “bat wings,” which are the sagging skin and excess fat that can develop on the upper arms as a result of aging or weight loss. However, it’s important to note that arms liposuction is not a weight loss solution or a substitute for a healthy diet and exercise. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle after the procedure to maintain the results.
Like any surgical procedure, arms liposuction carries some risks and potential complications. Dr. Gautam Reddy will explain to you all pre- and post-operative instructions to minimize the risk of complications
