Arm Liposuction

Arm Liposuction is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat deposits from the upper arms, creating a more toned and contoured appearance. This targeted approach helps eliminate the "bat wing" effect that often resists diet and exercise.

Unlike an arm lift (brachioplasty) that removes excess skin, arm liposuction specifically targets fat cells through small incisions, resulting in minimal scarring and shorter recovery time. The procedure is ideal for patients with good skin elasticity who primarily struggle with localized fat in the upper arm area.

At Neoderma Clinica, our skilled plastic surgeons use advanced liposuction techniques to ensure smooth, natural-looking results with improved arm definition. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, allowing for a comfortable experience and quicker recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Arm liposuction specifically removes fat deposits through small incisions with minimal scarring, while an arm lift (brachioplasty) removes excess skin and some fat through larger incisions. Liposuction is ideal for patients with good skin elasticity who primarily have fat concerns, while an arm lift addresses significant skin laxity.

Ideal candidates are at or near their ideal weight, have good skin elasticity, and struggle with localized fat deposits in the upper arms that don't respond to diet and exercise. Those with significant skin laxity may be better candidates for an arm lift or combined procedure. A consultation with our plastic surgeon will determine the best approach for your specific needs.

Most patients can return to work within 3-5 days, depending on the physical demands of their job. You'll need to wear compression sleeves for 2-4 weeks and avoid strenuous arm exercises for about 3-4 weeks. Swelling and bruising typically subside within 2-3 weeks, with final results visible after 3-4 months as the tissues fully heal.

Yes, the fat cells removed during arm liposuction are permanently eliminated. However, maintaining your results requires a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and regular exercise, as remaining fat cells can still expand if you gain significant weight. The procedure does not prevent natural aging, which may affect skin elasticity over time.
