Arm Liposuction
Reveal the Toned Arms You've Always Desired
We understand that achieving sculpted, lean arms can be challenging, even with dedicated diet and exercise. Stubborn fat deposits in the upper arms often resist traditional methods, leaving you frustrated with unresponsive areas. Upper Arm liposuction procedure is designed to gently remove these persistent fat pockets, unveiling a more contoured and confident you.
Why Choose Arm Liposuction?
Enhanced Arm Contour: Precisely targets and eliminates excess fat, revealing slimmer, more defined upper arms.
Boosted Confidence: Feel empowered to wear sleeveless outfits and showcase your rejuvenated appearance.
Minimally Invasive: Utilizes advanced techniques to ensure minimal scarring and a swift recovery.
Is Arm Liposuction Right for You?
Ideal candidates are healthy individuals struggling with localized fat deposits in the upper arms that have not responded to diet and exercise. During your personalized consultation, Dr. Ricardo Bonnor, a double board-certified surgeon, will assess your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals to determine if arm liposuction is the optimal solution for you.
Preparing for Your Transformation
To ensure the best outcomes:
Medical Evaluation: Undergo a thorough health assessment to confirm suitability for the procedure.
Lifestyle Adjustments: Refrain from smoking and avoid blood-thinning medications leading up to your surgery.
Pre-Operative Instructions: Follow all guidelines provided during your consultation to prepare effectively.
The Arm Liposuction Procedure
On the day of your procedure, Dr. Bonnor will meticulously map the contours of your arms. After administering anesthesia for your comfort, a tumescent fluid is introduced to numb the area and facilitate fat removal. Using a slender cannula, unwanted fat is gently suctioned out, sculpting a more toned appearance. The procedure is designed to be minimally invasive, promoting a quicker recovery.
Recovery and Aftercare
Post-procedure, you may experience mild swelling or discomfort, which typically subsides within a few days. To support optimal healing:
Compression Garments: Wear as directed to aid in reducing swelling and shaping your new contour.
Activity Guidelines: While light activities can often be resumed shortly after surgery, it's advisable to avoid strenuous exercises for several weeks.
Follow-Up Appointments: Attend all scheduled visits to monitor your progress and address any concerns.
Achieve Lasting Results
Maintaining a stable weight and engaging in regular exercise will help preserve your enhanced arm contours. For individuals with significant skin laxity, Dr. Bonnor may recommend a complementary arm lift (brachioplasty) to remove excess skin and further refine your results.
