Liposuction of the Arms — with Skin Tightening Options
Liposuction of the Arms — with Skin Tightening Options
Procedure: 1–2 hours • Stay: day-case or 1 night • Recovery: 2–6 weeks
Who benefits?
Patients with localized upper arm fat and mild skin laxity who want slimmer, better-contoured arms without the lengthier scars of brachioplasty. For significant excess skin, open brachioplasty may be required.
Techniques & tightening
Liposuction via small incisions removes fat; energy devices (RF, laser) applied intraoperatively can improve skin contraction. Limited excision of redundant skin may be combined for moderate laxity.
Recovery & results
- Compression sleeve for 3–6 weeks, avoid heavy upper limb activity for 4–6 weeks.
- Results refine over 3–6 months as swelling subsides and skin firms.
