Arm Liposuction at DIAA Aesthetic Clinic

Arm liposuction is a targeted fat removal procedure performed to eliminate excessive fat concentrated in the arm area that is hard to eliminate by exercise or diet. This procedure can give your arms a slimmer appearance. As a result, the rest of your body will look and feel more contoured and sculpted. Although arm liposuction can be done on both men and women, it is more commonly done on women.

Aging, weight gain, weight loss, or genetics can cause fat to build up in the upper arm area. Oftentimes, the fat is combined with loose skin, creating a flappy and "batwing" appearance. This can make your arm appear out of balance with the rest of your body. Regardless of how much working out and dieting you do, concentrated fat in the arms can be difficult to get rid of. This is where liposuction steps in and offers a solution to remove these unwanted fat cells. It is one of the best ways to achieve the desired slim look while maintaining proper body proportions without damaging the muscles.

The goal of arm liposuction is not to remove the maximum possible amount of fat since arms that are excessively thin with an otherwise overweight or obese body might appear unnatural and awkward instead of attractive. The main goals of arm liposuction are as follows:

• To improve a disproportionate appearance of the arm. Since most women do not want arms that appear masculine or muscular, the procedure can maintain female beauty's aesthetic quality. The result of the procedure will make you feel more attractive in any situation.
• To restore confidence. The "batwing" appearance makes some people feel self-conscious about their appearance. They may even avoid certain types of clothing, such as a sleeveless top or dress. After arm liposuction, you should feel more comfortable wearing these types of clothes and feel less self-conscious about your appearance.
• To achieve a thinner appearance of the arms, especially when the arms are in a relaxed and dependent position alongside your torso.

Arm liposuction can be performed on various areas in the arms, including:

• Triceps region – this is the most common treatment area of arm liposuction. As you get older, the combination of excess weight in the arms, gravity, and loss of skin elasticity can result in the dreaded sagging of your triceps region, particularly when you stretch out your arms. The main aim of arm liposuction in this region is to reduce the weight of the arm, which in turn will significantly reduce the flabby appearance of the area, giving it a reshaped and more toned look.
• Anterior axillary fat pad – also known as the breast tail, an anterior axillary fat pad can be found in front of your underarms, just in front of the armpit. With age and weight loss, these fat pads can become more prominent. Even in numerous relatively thin women, it can be disproportionately large. These fat pads can bulge unflatteringly above a fitting bra.
• Posterior axillary fat pad – also known as the bra line, posterior axillary fat pad is situated behind your underarms just behind the armpit on the side of the back. Some women found these fat pads as a cosmetic problem.

The axillary regions (anterior axillary fat pad and posterior axillary fat pad) need to be addressed in conjunction with the triceps region to avoid an awkward appearance, particularly when you wear snug garments like a bra. Since there are neurovascular structures in the axillary regions that may be damaged by arm liposuction, your surgeon will be extra cautious when performing the procedure in this area.
