Arm Liposuction in Sydney

Q: Will there be scarring after arm liposuction?

Yes, there may be small scars from the cosmetic surgery, but they are usually very small and fade over time. Our surgeons make incisions in discreet locations to minimise visibility. In cases where removing excess skin is necessary due to sagging skin or excess arm fat, the scars may be slightly more noticeable, but they generally heal well and blend with the natural contours of the arm.

Q: How soon will I see results after the procedure?

Liposuction arms results may become noticeable within a few weeks as swelling subsides. However, it can take 2-3 months for the final results to become fully visible, once the skin and fat in the upper arm area have adjusted. If excess skin is an issue, it may take a little longer to see the full effects, as the body continues to heal and adapt to the new contours.

Q: What is the difference between arm liposuction and arm lift surgery?

Arm liposuction focuses on removing excess arm fat using a minimally invasive surgical procedure that suctions out fat cells to improve arm contour. It is ideal for patients who have good skin elasticity and minimal sagging skin. On the other hand, arm lift procedures (also known as arm lift surgery or brachioplasty) are designed to remove both excess skin and fat, making it more suitable for those with significant sagging skin in the upper arm area.

For those considering options to address persistent fat in the arms, arm liposuction may be a viable solution.

At Ashbrooke Cosmetic Surgery, we provide liposuction for the arms ( also known as arm lipo) along with other cosmetic procedures. Our experienced team uses advanced techniques and maintains a focus on patient-centred care, guiding you throughout each stage of your treatment.

What is Arm Liposuction?

Arm liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that aims to reduce excess fat in the upper arms.

During the procedure, small cannulas are used to suction fat cells from the area, potentially creating a slimmer appearance with more visible definition. This option may suit individuals with persistent fat deposits that haven’t responded to diet and exercise.

Potential Benefits of Arm Liposuction

Arm liposuction may offer specific physical adjustments, including:

Targeted Fat Reduction: Focuses on areas of stubborn fat in the upper arms.
Enhanced Skin Appearance: The procedure may help improve the look of skin in some cases.
Refined Results: Aims to create a balanced appearance without extensive alterations.

Arm liposuction carries certain risks and requires careful consideration:

Bruising and swelling: Common effects following the procedure, which typically lessen over a few weeks.
Scarring: Small scars may occur at incision sites.
Infection: As with all surgical procedures, there is a slight risk of infection.
Loose arm tissue: In cases involving substantial fat reduction, some individuals may experience loose skin that could require further interventions, such as skin-tightening procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does recovery take after arm liposuction?

Most patients experience swelling and bruising in the upper arm area for a few days, but these symptoms typically subside within a week. Full recovery can take up to 4-6 weeks, during which time it’s important to avoid strenuous activities, especially those that might strain the arms reduction. If any excess skin is removed as part of the procedure, recovery might take slightly longer.

Will there be scarring after arm liposuction?

Yes, small scars may result from the procedure. Our practitioners make incisions in discreet locations to help reduce visibility. In cases where removing excess skin is necessary due to sagging skin or excess arm tissue, the scars may be slightly more noticeable, but they generally heal well and tend to blend naturally over time.

How soon will I see results after the procedure?

Arm liposuction results often start to appear within a few weeks as initial swelling reduces. For most patients, final results are typically visible within 2-3 months as the upper arm area adapts. In cases where there is excess skin, the full effects may take a little longer as the body gradually heals.

How much fat can be removed during arm liposuction?

The amount of excess arm fat that can be removed varies depending on individual needs and skin elasticity. Our objective is to carefully reduce excess arm fat while preserving the integrity of the skin and surrounding tissue to achieve balanced, proportional results.

Is arm liposuction permanent?

While the fat cells removed during liposuction do not regenerate in the treated area, weight gain can affect the overall appearance of the arms. If significant sagging skin or excess skin remains after the procedure, additional cosmetic surgery might be needed to address these issues. Ensuring good skin elasticity before the procedure can also affect how long-lasting the results are.

What is the difference between arm liposuction and arm lift surgery?

Arm liposuction is a surgical procedure focused on reducing excess fat in the upper arms. This method uses a specialised device to remove fat cells, which can help reduce arm size. It is generally suitable for patients with good skin elasticity and less sagging, as the procedure does not address loose skin.

Arm lift surgery (or brachioplasty) is another surgical option for reducing excess tissue in the upper arms. This procedure removes both skin and fat and may be recommended for those who have significant skin sagging. It typically results in a tighter appearance of the upper arm.
