Arm liposuction, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that is specifically designed to remove excess fat from the upper arms. This procedure is typically performed on people who have excess fat in the upper arms that is resistant to diet and exercise. Arm liposuction is usually performed under local anesthesia or intravenous sedation, and it typically takes several hours to complete. The procedure involves making small incisions in the skin through which a cannula is inserted to suction out excess fat. Recovery from arm liposuction may take several weeks, and it is important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions to ensure the best possible results.
