Benefits of Arm Liposuction

The outcomes of arm liposuction extend beyond the physical, offering transformative aesthetic and psychological benefits:

How is the Procedure Performed?

The arm liposuction procedure involves the following stages:

Pre-Surgical Protocol

The surgical area is sterilised and marked for precision. Anaesthesia is administered to enable patient comfort.

Tumescent Fluid Application

This fluid minimises bleeding, reduces discomfort, and aids in efficient fat removal

Fat Suctioning

A cannula is guided through the treatment area to gently dislodge and suction out fat

Closure and Compression

Incisions are closed with care, and a compression garment is applied to encourage healing and reduce swelling.

The entire process typically lasts between one to two hours, depending on the extent of fat removal.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon can I return to normal activities?

Most patients resume light activities within one week, but strenuous activities should be avoided for four weeks.

The incisions are small and strategically placed to minimise visibility. Scars typically fade significantly over time.

While the procedure removes fat, it does not directly tighten skin. Patients with significant skin laxity may require additional treatments.

Yes, the fat cells removed during the procedure do not regenerate. However, maintaining a healthy weight is essential to preserve the results.

Preparation includes avoiding certain medications, maintaining a balanced diet, and arranging for post-operative support.

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks such as infection or uneven contours. Choosing a skilled surgeon like Dr Kohout significantly minimises these risks. Here is the link to our risks and complications page:
