subject: Information About The Arm Liposuction Procedure And Surgery [print this page] Aside from the waist and the thighs, the arms serve as the gauge of just exactly how fat and how old we are in Earth years. If your arms are the size of a small pig's body or if you see loose skin hanging like so much laundry flapping in the wind, you start to think that, indeed, we are fat or we are old, respectively. Unfortunately, these less-than-appealing appearance of the arms cannot be remedied by exercise and diet alone. You may have to consider arm liposuction.
Good Candidates
You may not be a good candidate for the procedure. You must be in good health as it is still a surgical operation with risks of bleeding and infection. Of course, your unappealing arms must have excess fats in and around its back as well as under the armpits. You may also want to undergo arm liposuction if you do not want the appearance of muscular arms that come with weight training. In fact, most individuals will seek the procedure purely for aesthetic purposes.
You will also benefit from arm liposculpting after a gastric bypass surgery or after extreme weight loss. The procedure will eliminate the sagging, flapping and flabby skin in your arms so that it appears toned after the operation.
Surgical Technique
You will only be administered a local anesthetic during the procedure, which is generally considered the safest route to numb the area while ensuring that you remain coherent during the entire process. Your surgeon will then make a few very small incisions in the skin of the upper arms through which the 3mm cannula laser instrument is inserted.
The laser then melts away and then vacuums the excess fat, some of which will be excreted by the body during its natural processes. You will not feel pain during the surgery although bruising, redness and swelling may occur afterwards. Arm liposuction does not remove all of the fats in your arms. A sufficient portion will be left behind to give your arms their natural appearance as well as their soft texture. Too much fat elimination can lead to a muscular appearance in women, which is not the desired goal in the first place.
The surgery typically lasts for only an hour in an outpatient setting. You can return to normal activities within 24 to 48 hours, with very little to no scarring on the incision sites especially if you are fair-skinned. You will also be required to exercise simple post-operative care measures that usually involve compression and dressings for a few days. Your recovery after an arm liposuction will commence in less time than had you exercised your arms to achieve a lean and mean look.
After the incisions have healed, your arms will appear thinner with considerable lessening of the flabby and floppy skin on the undersides. It should look toned to the inch of your life and yet still possess the softness that men love about feminine arms.
When it comes to having toned arms, exercise and diet as well as genetics may not cut it especially after we have gained Earth years. In this case, do consider the merits of arm liposuction.
