Arm Liposuction - Tightens Sagging Arm Skin

Do you wish your arms were shapelier? Has diet and exercise failed to get rid of the fat in your upper arms? Then arm liposuction is what you should be considering. The procedure can reduce fat as well as tighten sagging arm skin. The latest laser-enabled modalities have made liposuction all the more effective, making it easy for plastic surgeons to give you the results you are looking for.

Upper Arm Liposuction: How it Works to Tighten Lax Skin

The rapid advancements in laser liposuction technology have made surgery for excess fat removal both effective and safe. For instance, the SmartLipo Triplex workstation from Cynosure is minimally invasive, patient-friendly and offers great results for arm liposuction. The surgery is carried out as follows:

The patient is put under local anesthesia. A tiny incision is made at the location of the excess fat, so that the slim cannula of the laser-enabled device can be inserted into the upper layer of the skin. The laser energy from three laser wavelengths disrupts the fat cells which are then gently suctioned off.

The combined action of the three lasers ensures greater absorption of fat tissue, controlled fat disruption, and high-definition sculpting of the upper arms. The method ensures tightening of sagging skin as the laser energy causes soft tissue coagulation. The collagen in the deep skin layers is remodeled, leading to the firming of loose skin.

The results of upper arm liposuction surgery are seen almost immediately. Bruising and swelling if any, will be minimal.

Find an Experienced Plastic Surgeon
 
Upper arm liposuction usually takes less than an hour to perform and you can leave the surgery when the procedure is over. For excellent and lasting results, it is important to have the procedure performed by an experienced plastic surgeon. After evaluating if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure, a good surgeon would inform you about the risks involved. Use your initial consultation to ask questions about cost, recovery time and post-surgical care.
