Does Arm Liposuction Produce Long-Term Results?
More women than ever before are arranging to have arm liposuction in their attempts to achieve their physical perfection goals. However, prospective candidates for surgery often wonder whether the results of their procedures will last. Will the money that they spend on their procedures be worth it? Or will they require another operation in a few years to restore their beautiful upper arms? Here, we take a closer look at whether arm lipo can produce lasting outcomes.
The Basics of Liposuction of the Arms
Many surgeons take a conservative approach to arm lipo. They only remove fat from the underhang of the arm, and even then, the amount of fat removed is minimal. Here at Artlipo, Dr. Su takes a different approach. Thanks to his pioneering active lipo techniques and his innovative Celebrity Arms procedure, he can produce complete outcomes. The patient receives a local anesthetic, so she doesn’t experience any discomfort or pain during the procedure. However, the patient is alert and awake and able to cooperate with the movements that Dr. Su requests. During the procedure, he asks patients to tense their muscles and move their arms. This allows him to sculpt more closely to the arm muscles. The result is a far more sculpted arm with maximum fat removal. If you take a look at our before and after gallery, you will see the results Dr. Su can achieve.
Does Fat Come Back after Arm Lipo?
We have established that Dr. Su can produce impressive results. The next question is how long those results will last. Many prospective patients ask whether the fat can return after liposuction. The answer to this is both yes and no. Dr. Su permanently removed the fat cells during lipo, and they cannot come back. Nevertheless, the remaining fat cells may grow and swell if the patient gains weight post-surgery. Also, more fat cells may develop in the body at different sites. This can lead to a disproportionate appearance that could mean a person would require further surgery later.
Is Lipo A One-Stop Solution to Beautiful Arms?
The key to long-lasting results from any kind of liposuction is long-term diet and exercise. You cannot have any form of liposuction and then live a sedentary and unhealthy lifestyle. Eating endless fries and burgers and refusing to work out is sure to lead to weight gain. Your contours will reflect this. Although your arms may remain slim, other parts of your body will gain weight. This will negate the benefits of your cosmetic surgery.
Can I Make Sure My Arms Stay Slim after Surgery?
The good news is the results of arm lipo can be permanent as long as you follow your surgeon’s instructions. It’s important to understand that lipo is just the beginning of your journey to a beautiful body. Lipo will give you the tools to work with to enjoy long-lasting slimness and beauty. But you will need to do your part, too, if you wish to preserve your new contours.
Your surgeon will give you all the advice and information you need to enjoy long-lasting results from your surgery. You must follow these instructions carefully, not only immediately after your procedure but in the long term. Wear your compression garment as prescribed and follow your surgeon’s advice about activity and exercise. Don’t rush back to the gym or do strenuous workouts until you’ve received the go-ahead from your surgeon. But, on the other hand, don’t stay in bed for weeks on end either. Exercise gently after your surgery and gradually increase until you have resumed your normal activity level. Then, when your surgeon gives you the green light, you should begin a regular workout program. You will need to stay active to maintain your procedure’s results. This is something that you will need to do for the rest of your life.
You will also need to eat a healthy diet on an ongoing basis. As long as you follow this lifestyle advice, you will enjoy beautiful arms forever.
What Happens if The Fat Comes Back?
If you fail to live a healthy lifestyle, you will gain weight. The excess fat may not return to your arms, but it will return to some area of your body. To get rid of this excess fat, you will need to diet and exercise. If the new problem areas fail to respond to dieting and exercising, you will need more liposuction. A further procedure will remove those problematic fat cells and restore your slim contours. However, it is advisable to try to maintain the results of your first surgery. After all, nobody wants to have more surgery than necessary.
