What is Arm Liposuction?

Arm liposuction is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat and stubborn fat deposits from the upper arms, resulting in a more toned and sculpted appearance.

It’s a popular procedure among both men and women who want to improve the appearance of their arms, whether to feel more confident in sleeveless clothing or to regain a youthful appearance.

Arm liposuction can be performed on the entire arm or targeted to localized fat deposits, such as the upper arm, posterior arm, or armpit. Depending on the amount of fat that needs to be removed and the complexity of the case, the procedure can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours.

Liposuction is an excellent alternative if you do not have severe skin laxity and want a less invasive procedure than an arm lift. Those with mild-to-moderate skin laxity may benefit from a mini-arm lift or even address excess skin with VASER ultrasound or BodyTite radiofrequency energy. Our patients regularly witness a lasting transformation that tones and tightens their arms. Better still, you’ll never worry about wearing short sleeves again.

Benefits of Arm Liposuction

Arm liposuction can offer several benefits for individuals who are looking to improve the appearance of their arms. Some of the benefits include:

Slimmer appearance: Arm liposuction can help remove excess fat and tissue from the arms, resulting in a slimmer and more toned appearance.

Improved self-confidence: By removing excess fat and tissue, arm liposuction can help improve self-confidence and self-esteem, allowing individuals to feel more comfortable in their own skin.

Better fit in clothing: Arm liposuction can help improve the fit of clothing, especially in the upper arm area, which can be a problem area for many people.

More defined shape: Arm liposuction can help create a more defined shape and contour to the arms, which can be especially beneficial for individuals who have excess fat in this area. Loose skin can also be addressed when liposuction is combined with other minimally invasive procedures like BodyTite.

Improved overall health: While arm liposuction probably does not directly enhance your health, it can often inspire patients to kick start their fitness journeys by removing excess fat . These lifestyle changes can help improve overall health and reduce the risk of certain health problems, such as heart disease and diabetes.

Minimally invasive: Arm liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure, which means that it requires only small incisions and can be performed under local anesthesia, resulting in less pain and scarring.

Quick recovery: Arm liposuction has a relatively quick recovery time, with most individuals being able to return to their normal activities within a couple days.

Permanent results: The results of arm liposuction are generally permanent, as long as a healthy lifestyle is maintained.

Why Choose Dr. Darren Smith?

When it comes to choosing a plastic surgeon in NYC, there are many options to consider. So, why choose Dr. Darren Smith? Here are just a few reasons:

Expertise

Dr. Smith is a board-certified plastic surgeon with years of experience in performing arm liposuction and other cosmetic procedures. In addition to completing one of the top plastic surgery residencies in the nation, he also completed the world-class aesthetic surgery fellowship at Manhattan Eye, Ear, and Throat Hospital. He has a deep understanding of the anatomy of the arm and knows how to achieve the best possible results.

Personalized Care

At our practice, we emphasize personalized care and attention to detail. Dr. Smith will work with you to create a customized treatment plan that meets your specific needs and goals.

State-of-the-Art Facility

Preoperative Preparation and Consultation

During your initial consultation (one of our exam rooms is pictured below), Dr. Smith will assess whether you’re a suitable candidate for upper arm liposuction in NYC. If you have excess fat and loose skin, arm lift surgery might offer better long-term results. Modern medical examination room with a white adjustable chair, overhead light, cabinets, wall art, and a mounted screen.Luxury exam roomOnce he understands your medical history and discusses the procedure with you, it’s time to decide on the best plan to achieve your specific goals.

Arm Liposuction Procedure

Patients receive treatment at our state-of-the-art cosmetic surgery clinic. In most cases, Dr. Smith will administer local anesthesia to ensure you don’t feel any pain during the procedure. General anesthesia as well as twilight sedation are available for those who prefer them as well. A small incision near the elbow or armpit enables Dr. Smith to insert a thin tube into the site.

This tube enables us to use the latest liposuction techniques and remove stubborn fat cells. Once the arm lipo procedure is over, the incisions are closed, and Dr. Smith will apply a compression garment to minimize swelling and speed up the healing process.

Unlike many procedures, arm liposuction surgery requires minimal downtime but still offers impressive results. View Our GalleryA woman flexing her arms in front of a gray background.

Postoperative Care

While these procedures have minimal downtime, they still require some recovery. You’ll be able to go home the same day, but it’s common to experience some swelling and soreness. We will create a bespoke recovery plan based on your unique needs, including pain medication.

Our modern clinic is perfect for relaxing and unwinding after your procedure. With a dedicated aftercare team in place to provide advice and support, we ensure you go home with everything you need to make a full recovery. View Our Clinic

Recovery and Results

It’s important to follow Dr. Smith’s instructions carefully during recovery to ensure proper healing and optimal results. This may include wearing a compression garment for several weeks, avoiding certain activities such as heavy lifting, and keeping the incisions clean and dry.

Most patients can return to work in 48 hours, do a light workout in 4-5 days, and resume normal activities in 2 weeks.

After a few weeks, the swelling and bruising should start to subside, and you’ll begin to see the results of your arm liposuction. Your arms will look more toned and sculpted, and you’ll feel more confident and comfortable in your own skin.

Final results

It’s important to note that arm liposuction results can take several months to fully reveal themselves. To achieve sustainable results, be sure to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet. Our practice is dedicated to delivering the highest standard of care and support. We’re here for you at every stage, from your first consultation to your post-operative follow-up appointments.

Cost

The cost of arm liposuction can vary depending on several factors, including the location where the procedure is performed, the expertise and qualifications of the plastic surgeon, the extent of the procedure, and the type of anesthesia used.

On average, the cost of arm liposuction can range from $6,000 to $12,000. However, some factors can increase the cost, such as:

Additional procedures: If you choose to have additional procedures, such as a breast augmentation or abdominoplasty, at the same time as your arm liposuction, the cost will be higher.

Location: The cost of living and the cost of medical procedures can vary depending on the location. For example, a procedure performed in a major city may cost more than the same procedure performed in a smaller town.

Surgeon’s fees: The cost of the procedure will also depend on the surgeon’s fees. A board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience will typically charge more than a less experienced surgeon.

Type of anesthesia: The type of anesthesia used can also affect the cost. General anesthesia is typically more expensive than local anesthesia.

Hospital or surgical facility fees: If the procedure is performed in a hospital or surgical facility, there may be additional fees for the use of the facility and the services of the staff.

It’s important to note that the cost of arm liposuction is not the only consideration when deciding whether to have the procedure. It’s also important to consider the potential benefits and risks, as well as your personal goals and expectations.
