Lipo On Arms Before And After
View before and after photos of liposuction on arms performed by top plastic surgeons.
Arm liposuction removes fat from the underarms, but not everyone with fat underarms is a candidate for this surgical procedure. Generally speaking, a plastic surgeon will not perform arm liposuction on someone who is more than 15 pounds overweight.
In fact, many people who have this procedure are not overweight at all.
The purpose of arm liposuction is to remove fat accumulations or abnormal fat deposits. Women in particular have a tendency to accumulate fat under the arms. This can happen at any age and even if the woman is not overweight.
Women and men alike opt for arm liposuction but the procedure is much more popular with women because of the tendency that women have for developing fat in the underarm area.
All ages can undergo arm liposuction as well. However, older people who have lost a lot of skin elasticity may not achieve the tight underarm look like a young person would.
In fact, during your physical examination, your plastic surgeon will examine your skin to see how resilient it is in order to determine if you are a good candidate for arm liposuction. For older women and those who have lost a lot of weight and have sagging skin, arm liposuction may be combined with an arm lift or laser surgery in order to tighten loose skin.
Overall health will factor into whether your doctor wants to perform arm liposuction on you. If you have allergies to anesthetics or have a respiratory condition that makes anesthesia unsafe, your doctor may not want to do the procedure. Your doctor may refuse to do the surgery unless you give up smoking and drinking first so there will be less risk of complications.
Arm liposuction is indicated for anyone who feels self conscious about the look of their fat or flabby underarms. If you avoid wearing short sleeves or are too embarrassed to raise your arms, then having arm liposuction can help restore your confidence and make you feel better about your appearance.
You may also be a good candidate for arm liposuction if your arms appear too muscular due to the fat on your arms or if your arms have disproportional pockets of fat. In these cases, liposuction can give your arms a more slender appearance which can make you seem thinner overall.
