What are the benefits of Liposculpture on my Arms?
Thinner, smoother, and younger looking arms are the typical benefits our patients see after our AdvanceLipo treatment. Additionally, related areas of skin and fat near the armpit will typically show reduced flabbiness and better appearance.
What areas of the arm can be treated?
While both the forearm and upper arms can be treated, the vast majority of women need and elect only the upper arm treatment. The upper arms have fat removed from the armpit area down to the elbow and the forearm treatment consists of fat removal from the elbow to the wrist.
What is the procedure like for arm liposculpture?
Unlike traditional surgery, liposculpture for your arms is quick, easy, and virtually painless. The procedure takes about a couple of hours and is performed by our AdvanceLipo experts.
- Patients are first analyzed in detail for the best possible results.
- After the analysis, patients are diagramed using a marker so that the doctor can custom shape your arm area in the most ideal fashion.
- Patients are then given lidocaine to numb the skin. There is no general anesthesia or IV sedation required. Our patients will walk out of the operation just as they walked in. You can chat with the doctor or assistants during the procedure or simply relax and listen to music, it is your choice.
- During the process he will use small puncture holes and small tube called a cannula, which is just a little bigger than the size of a ball point pen tip, in the areas selected for treatment. A solution is pushed into the fat to help break it up, numb and prepare fat cells for removal.
- After the local numbing takes place, Dr. Calhoun will typically use a combination of power assisted liposuction, laser assisted lipolysis, and/or ultrasound assisted lipolysis with the ultra small suction cannulas to produce not only the best results, but the quickest recovery time possible.
What results can I expect from arm liposuction?
No one can promise that you will have the arms of your dreams after out AdvanceLipo procedure, however you can be assured that the majority of fat in your arms will be removed and your appearance improved. Not only will the fat be removed permanently, you will immediately see results. You will notice the difference right away and within a month or so you will be able to show off your beautiful new arms.
Will I need skin tightening after arm liposuction?
Skin tightening depends on how well your body produces collagen fibers. Using our AdvanceLipo technique, your skin will be tightened with a special laser, ultrasound, and/or power assisted liposuction during the procedure. Results will vary patient to patient and depend on many factors such as age, past weight loss, and skin laxativity. If you are interested in additional tightening, please bring it to our attention during your consultation.
How do I care for my body after the upper arm liposuction procedure?
After the procedure you will wear a compression garment that will assist in the absorption of fluid that may leak from the small holes used to remove the fat during the procedure. Small pads will sit between the garment and your skin to absorb the fluid for the 2-4 days following the procedure. Most patients will wear the garment for about a week. At our facility we notice swelling typically lasts for a few days, but the majority of swelling is resolved in the first 24 hours. No stitches are required after the procedure; the small holes will heal quickly on their own.
It's a good idea not to shower for about 24 hours after the procedure and full immersion such as swimming or sitting in a hot tub should be avoided for about a week.
How long does it take to heal?
Age, health, and scope of the procedure are all determining factors in the recovery. The first compression garment is worn for about a week. A secondary garment is worn for about 2-4 weeks following the procedure. Within two months nearly all patients report all symptoms are gone, that the arms are no longer swollen or puffy, and that both arms look and feel the same. For the typical patient to completely heal and be free of soreness it usually takes 3-8 weeks, however it varies greatly from patient to patient.,
When can I go back to work?
Some of our patients return to work immediately following the procedure or simply take the rest of the day off and return the following day. However, most patients typically take about 2 days off before returning to work. If your work requires the use of your arms such as for sports training or hairdressing, it may take a couple of days before you feel comfortable enough to return to work.
Can I combine arm liposculpture with other procedures?
Of course! Plus, our simple and affordable pricing structure means that additional areas cost less.
Many patients combine arm liposculpture with the back or front bra roll. Other patients couple the arms with abdomen, chin, or thigh liposculpture. Whatever areas you choose, it is recommended to treat as many areas as safe in one procedure. However, there is a limit on how many procedures can be done in one treatment. Only a consultation with our qualified staff will let you know for sure.
