Arm Liposuction

Arm liposuction is a minimally invasive body contouring treatment that eliminates excess fat for slender, more toned arms. If you are feeling discouraged that you cannot improve your upper arm appearance with diet or exercise, liposuction can help you finally achieve the definition you have been working for. This effective treatment has increased in popularity as more American adults struggle with excess fat. Surgeons performed 325,669 liposuction procedures in 2022 (1) to help patients meet their body goals, seeing a 23% increase between 2019 and 2022.

At the Advanced Body Sculpting Institute in Denver, our liposuction treatments can transform your body into a sleeker figure. Why wait when you can eliminate “bat wings” in just one appointment? Contact our office or call (303) 708-8770 to learn more.

About Arm Liposuction

Arm liposuction is one of the most effective ways to reduce stubborn fat and help your arms appear slimmer. As you age, the decline in your skin’s crucial proteins like collagen can cause fat to droop or sway with movement, an issue sometimes referred to as “bye-bye arms.” Liposuction can delicately reduce these stubborn, exercise-resistant fat deposits for a sculpted look and long-lasting results.

Why Choose Liposuction for Fat Reduction?

Liposuction is a minimally invasive treatment that does not come with the risks or long recovery time that more involved surgical procedures such as the arm lift do. It removes excess fat (adipose) cells with gentle suction to preserve the surrounding tissue for safe and effective results. The surgeons at ABS Institute offer VASER liposuction, an advanced, ultrasound-assisted technique to help patients achieve smooth, slender upper arms.

VASER Liposuction

VASER liposuction emulsifies excess fat with ultrasonic energy. VASER (vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance) has been an effective, trustworthy body contouring solution since the 2000s, and the 5-ring VASER probe was created by our very own Dr. John Millard, one of the leading innovators of VASER liposuction in the United States. Unlike traditional liposuction which requires larger incisions, VASER’s tiny probes penetrate the skin for gentle but powerful results with minimal trauma to surrounding tissues.

How VASER Liposuction Works

VASER is known to produce a “shrink wrap” effect to reduce excess fat and help you regain your shapely physique. During the treatment, we will use a small probe and suction to dislodge and remove your excess fat. The probes are available in several different sizes to help us customize the procedure for your needs. The ultrasonic energy and air bubbles in the tumescent fluid agitate the fat cells, causing them to dislodge without damaging the surrounding tissue.

Consultation

Arm Liposuction

During your personal consultation, we will help you determine your arm liposuction treatment plan. In your private meeting with us, you will have the chance to discuss the concerns you have about your arms and the look you would like to achieve. Please come prepared to discuss your lifestyle, past procedures, allergies, and current medications. This is a great time to ask questions and voice any concerns. We can also look at liposuction before-and-after photos. It is important to have realistic expectations about what we can accomplish with the procedure.

How to Prepare for Arm Liposuction

If arm liposuction is a good fit for you, a patient coordinator will schedule a treatment date and we will provide instructions for how to best prepare for the upcoming procedure. To prepare for arm liposuction, you will need to:

  • Arrange for a ride home after the procedure
  • Schedule a few days off work
  • Pick up prescriptions for your recovery

Although most patients are able to return to work after a few days, the amount of time you need will depend on the level of activity demanded by your job. On the morning of your procedure, we recommend that you take a shower and dress in comfortable, loose clothing that you can easily remove.

Arm Liposuction Procedure

When you arrive at the office, you will need to change into a gown and we will mark your arms for surgery. We will provide anesthesia, a sedative, and tumescent fluid before making an incision along your arm to remove excess fat with tumescent fluid and suction. Tumescent fluid, a numbing solution composed of lidocaine, epinephrine, and saline, forces your excess fat to swell. The swollen, firm fat cells are easier to remove. Tumescent fluid also constricts your blood vessels, to reduce blood loss during surgery. This significantly reduces your recovery time and makes your post-procedure period more comfortable. Your surgeon will perform your procedure with precision and care to provide the best outcome and place discrete incisions strategically so they are not visible.

Arm Liposuction Recovery

After the treatment, you will be able to return home to begin your recovery process. You will likely experience some swelling and discomfort during the first few days of your recovery. We can prescribe medication to help alleviate discomfort. During your recovery, you will need to:

  • Be careful when raising or moving your arms
  • Avoid strenuous activities for at least 2-3 weeks
  • Follow up after 1-2 weeks

The ABS Institute staff will monitor your progress to ensure you are healing properly. We will let you know when you can return to regular activities.

Arm Liposuction Results

After arm liposuction, you can enjoy an immediate improvement in the shape and feel of your arms. Your results will improve as your arms settle and heal. Maintaining a consistent weight, regular exercise routine, and a healthy diet can keep your arms sleek and toned for many years.
