Many women wonder if an arm liposuction procedure could resolve all their problems. The good news is that, in many cases, it can. Thanks to the cutting-edge lipo techniques in use today, more women than ever can benefit from liposuction. However, there are limits to what this procedure can do. If you have a lot of excess skin, you may not benefit from this type of surgery. An arm lift may be a better choice for you. Let’s look a little more closely at the facts.
What Does Arm Liposuction Do?
An arm lipo procedure permanently removes the excess fat cells in the upper arm. A surgeon makes tiny incisions in the arm and passes a narrow cannula through. Then, he or she sucks out the fat cells through this tube. As you can see, arm lipo is only about removing fat. The procedure does not remove any skin at all. Therefore, if you have excess skin and excess fat, you may need a different type of surgery. An arm lift cuts away both excess fat and excess skin. While it is a more complex and invasive procedure, it effectively treats both problems.
How Much Skin Is Too Much?
Only a skilled, experienced surgeon will be able to tell you whether you have too much excess skin for liposuction. Some surgeons will not help women who have some excess skin on their upper arms. However, here at Artistic Lipo and Plastic Surgery, we take a different and more comprehensive approach. Although we still recommend an arm lift for some patients, we can help many women with excess skin. This is because Dr. Su has pioneered effective lipo techniques that produce complete results. His Celebrity Arms technique can produce impressive results for a broader spectrum of women.
What Is the Celebrity Arms Technique?
When some surgeons carry out liposuction, the patient is immobile and nonparticipating. This makes it harder to remove the maximum amount of fat from the upper arms. As a result, the outcomes are often less than impressive. Dr. Su does things differently. His Interactive Lipo techniques ensure a far more complete outcome for every patient. Interactive Lipo involves the patient participating actively in her procedure. Dr. Su will ask the patient to move and tense her muscles during the surgery. This allows him to remove more fat and closer sculpt the muscle of the arm. As a result, the arm looks slimmer and more toned following the procedure. Celebrity Arms lipo also allows for an impressive amount of skin tightening. For this reason, even women with some excess skin can benefit from this procedure.
