Frequently Asked Questions About Arms Liposuction

To determine if you’re an ideal candidate for arm liposuction, you should start by considering these questions:

  • Have I tried diet and exercise and still don’t like the look of my arms?
  • Am I in good health?
  • Am I at, or close to, my ideal weight? If you are more than 30 pounds over your goal weight, you may want to consider weight loss first to get a better result.
  • Do I have good skin elasticity to help with recovery? If you have excessive skin (loose skin), you may get a better result with a plastic surgery procedure such as a brachioplasty (arm lift.) This would need to be done under general anesthesia.
  • Do I have realistic expectations?
  • You should come to your surgery appointment wearing loose-fitting clothes that can be easily removed. It should be something you don’t mind getting messy.
  • The team will take your measurements, photos and vital signs.
  • Your surgeon will review your pre-op vitals and answer any last-minute questions about the type of liposuction that is planned.
  • You will receive an oral sedative.
  • Small incisions are made to inject numbing local anesthetic under the skin (tumescent liposuction).
  • The doctor melts the unwanted fat using SmartLipo (laser-assisted liposuction).
  • A small suction cannula removes unwanted fat cells and contours your arms. The amount of fat removed will depend on how much fat you have to start.
  • Renuvion’s radio frequency and helium plasma technology tightens the skin by stimulating collagen production.
  • Imagen staff fits you with a compression garment and prepares post-op instructions.
  • You will return to the clinic the following day for a check up, and again at one week.
  • After one month, the doctor will examine the area and determine if you can stop using the compression garment.

Most patients experience only slight-to-mild discomfort for a few days after arm liposuction. Many of them describe it as an ache or soreness. The discomfort usually decreases after the second or third day and you can return to your normal activities.

This is a very common question and we try to answer by putting things in perspective. A typical arm liposuction can result in 100-500cc (or more) from each arm. An easy visual in terms of volume is a 2 liter soda bottle, which would be larger than most peoples arms. This volume includes not only fat, but also bone and muscle. To expect to remove 1-2 liters from each arm is unreasonable for most patients.

We recommend that you take at least two days for recovery time following the procedure to rest. You will be wearing a compression garment that will help the tissues to stabilize. We will provide you with 2 garments to alternate during your recovery.

For most patients, you will be able to come out of your compression sleeves after 4 weeks.

No, but you will have some drainage from the incisions for the first 24-48 hours after the procedure, which is normal.

The tiny incisions will heal and fade with time. Most patients don’t have much in the way of visible scars by their 6 month visit.

If your arms have been stretched by significant fat volumes or if you are older, you may have saggy skin after lipo. We use Renuvion and SmartLipo laser energy to help stimulate collagen production, reducing the amount of laxity in the skin.

We ask that patients avoid any strenuous or high impact exercise for a few weeks after their procedure. Most patients are fully recovered and back to their regular routine within a few weeks after surgery.

Results from arm lipo are permanent with regards to the volume reduction. It is always possible to store fat if you are gaining weight and your results will look best if you maintain a stable weight or have some weight loss. Skin tightening results are never permanent, since losing skin firmness is a part of the aging process. Weight gain can counteract your lipo results.

You should plan a half of a day for your treatment, but the actual procedure can take as little as 90 minutes, depending on the volume of fat to be removed.

Arm liposuction starts at $3,790 depending on how many areas you want to have treated. The price on your proposal is all-inclusive, meaning there are no hidden fees. Because the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, most healthy patients do not require pre op labs or screening exams prior to their arm lipo. All operative fees and anesthesia fees are included in the price as well as all follow up visits and two sets of compression garments. There are no taxes on the procedure. Your surgical fee covers:

  • Facility fee
  • All operative anesthesia and medicine fees while at our clinic for your procedure
  • The procedure Itself
  • Your compression garments
  • All follow-up visits

Obviously, having a liposuction procedure is a very personal decision and what may be “worth it” to one person, may not be to another. Most of our arm liposuction patients are very happy with their results and the recovery and scar are significantly less than what would result from a more invasive procedure like an arm lift/brachioplasty.
