Arm Liposuction in Beverly Hills, CA

Precision Arm Sculpting

Pockets of fat can prove exceptionally stubborn in the upper arms. Frustratingly, many patients report that no amount of exercise will bring their arms into the shape they want. Pockets of fat can still remain, obscuring the muscles and tone you have built through continual effort. Arm liposuction helps patients take that final step with precision removal of fat from the arms.

Arm liposuction involves the removal of fat cells and contouring of the arms.

A successful procedure requires the utmost precision from your surgeon to create natural-looking results. Dr. Chiu’s approach involves first assessing the patient’s needs and then building a tailored plan. Every detail of your arm’s anatomy is taken into consideration to optimize the procedure.

Is Arm Liposuction Right for Me?

During your consultation with Dr. Chiu, he will evaluate the condition of your arms and your concerns to determine the best technique for your needs.

Arm liposuction is best for patients who want to eliminate stubborn fat but have good skin elasticity. Skin elasticity is essential because a patient may have loose skin after liposuction without it. You can have an arm lift to address excess or loose skin, though, which you can combine with liposuction.

Arm liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, but it can eliminate significant amounts of fat. However, it works best for patients who are at or near their target weight. The procedure focuses more on selective fat removal than blanket suction of fat cells. This allows for better contouring that emphasizes the natural shape of the arm.

Overview of a Typical Arm Liposuction Procedure

Initial Consultation

The consultation sets the foundation for a safe procedure with results you will love for years. Dr. Chiu takes the time to fully understand your goals and what you want your results to look like. This open discussion is the ideal time to ask any questions and explore the options best suited to your needs.

Preparing for the Procedure

Arm liposuction is a full surgical procedure, so some preparation is required. However, each step is straightforward and easy to complete. Dr. Chiu will provide a clear checklist of steps to take and personalized instructions as needed. These can include:

  • Pausing use of certain medications like blood thinners
  • Avoiding tobacco use (especially smoking) before surgery
  • Getting certain blood work tests done
  • Planning for someone to drive you home
  • Arranging time off from work for recovery

Arm Liposuction Procedure at a Glance

  • Process: Loosen fat cells and remove them via suction with a cannula
  • Wrapping Up: Closing incisions

Recovering from the Surgery

The recovery timeline can vary for each patient, varying with factors like age, natural recovery speed, and complexity of the surgery. Dr. Chiu will provide you with a personalized timeline during your consultation based on these factors. However, a general outline can include:

The First Week

The first week of recovery is your time to take it easy. Dr. Chiu will provide full instructions on post-procedure care to facilitate a safe healing process. These include staying hydrated, keeping the surgical sites clean, elevating your arms, and wearing compression garments. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort will occur but will improve gradually after the first few days.

The Second and Third Weeks

Patients should see some notable improvements in swelling and bruising. Continue to minimize physical activity, but you should be able to return to work in the second week.

The Fourth Week to Sixth Week

The majority of bruising and swelling should resolve. After consulting during a follow-up, you may return to your normal routine with Dr. Chiu’s approval. Pay attention to your body and avoid straining or damaging your arms.

Beyond

Residual swelling can take a couple of months to resolve. While not very noticeable, it will need to fade before you see your final results.
