Have you put away your sleeve-less tops and t-shirts due to the fact that you can’t stand to wear them because of the rolls of fat that have accumulated on your upper arm? You’re not alone in your fight against the extra baggage rubbing against your body as you walk.
Get the exact contour with upper body lipo. The typical upper arm liposuction procedure involves small incisions located just above the elbows. These incisions are the entry point for cannulas that are inserted to break up and suction out fat. Smaller micro-cannulas are used to minimize the size of the incision and hence reduce scarring.
Having upper arm liposuction performed is not about weight loss as some may think, but about contouring the arm so that it harmonizes with the remainder of the body. Both the front and rear fat pads that are located near the armpit can be taken care of during the procedure.
Upper arm lipo, especially using ultrasonic-assisted liposuction is one of the most effective procedures to go for if your skin is in good condition. Your skin must allow for a smooth and even contraction over the area after the fat is partially removed.
The results of upper arm liposuction are often stunning! After a successful surgery, you can start wearing short-sleeve clothing, bathing suits, and sleeveless dresses without the embarrassment of having to reveal flabby arms.
After the surgery, it is highly recommended by your doctor that a compression garment be worn to help support the new shape of the arm for the first week.
After this time, most patients experience mild swelling and pain, but can return to work. Within a few months, the upper arm is completely healed and there are almost no signs of surgery.
The cost of an upper arm liposuction can vary between $3000-$6000 depending upon the severity of the problem. So, if you have excess weight in the upper arms that has been resistant to diet and exercise for some time now, consider liposuction. This surgery is performed on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia and sedation.
A risk of liposuction of the upper arm includes lymphedema, which is caused by the suctioning out of the ductwork and lymph nodes. This can disrupt the circulation of lymph and fluids and result in chronic swelling of the arms and hands.
