At PH-1 Miami, patients can undergo arm liposuction to remove unwanted fat and rejuvenate their bodies. Our Ivy League-trained surgeon, Dr. Zach, uses an advanced VASER® technique to break apart fat cells before suctioning them out through tiny incisions. With exceptional surgical skills and safety as a top priority, he makes the arms slimmer and better-contoured, which can boost confidence and improve self-esteem. PH-1 Miami provides a comfortable and welcoming environment for each person to learn more about our amazing arm lipo.
Before undergoing arm liposuction, a consultation with Dr. Zach is scheduled to discuss the patient’s goals, medical history, and procedure details. The surgeon evaluates the arms and develops a treatment plan. He also explains the benefits and potential risks of this surgery. Then, Dr. Zach provides the following instructions for preparation:
Dr. Zach injects a tumescent solution containing lidocaine to numb the treatment area. This medication blocks pain signals to the brain during the procedure. Local or general anesthesia can be used for arm lipo. These options will be discussed with the patient.
The surgeon makes 1-3 tiny incisions where the cannula (thin tube) is inserted to suction out fat. These openings are usually created in unnoticeable sites to avoid visible scarring. However, the exact location of incisions depends on the distribution of fat in the upper arm.
Dr. Zach uses a VASER® probe that breaks up fat with ultrasonic waves. This tissue is then suctioned out with low pressure. The following techniques may be utilized:
tunneling – careful back-and-forth motions with a cannula
crisscrossing – creating a crosshatch pattern under the skin by moving the probe in intersecting directions
fanning – following a fan-shaped pattern from a single incision point
Once the desired reduction has been achieved, the surgeon closes the small incisions with sutures. Steri-Strips® or bandages may also be applied. In general, the arm liposuction procedure takes 1-2 hours.
An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, can be a great addition. After fat is extracted by liposuction, excess skin may still remain. An arm lift procedure removes this sagging skin, helping to make the upper arm region more toned and slim. It essentially finishes the rejuvenation process, which starts with liposuction. After undergoing arm lift surgery, the skin becomes tighter and smoother.
Patients must follow all post-operative instructions from Dr. Zach regarding wound care, activity restrictions, and compression garment use. They should also notify our surgeon about any unusual pain, bleeding, or other issues. With proper self-care, patients can see their final arm lipo results after the swelling has fully gone down, which usually takes 6-8 weeks.
Being a non-smoker is also preferred since tobacco and similar products affect blood circulation and may interfere with wound healing. Patients should communicate any health concerns with Dr. Zach ahead of time.
Dr. Zach removes all excess fat from the upper arms. He sculpts this area by suctioning out stubborn pockets that do not respond to diet and exercise. As a result, the arms become more toned and slimmed.
In addition to reducing fat in the upper arms specifically, this surgery improves the overall body contour. It creates better proportions and balance with the rest of the physique. After liposuction, the arms will complement the patient's overall appearance.
A slimmer, more toned figure may boost confidence and self-esteem. When the arms are a personal trouble area, seeing improvement from the procedure can make the patient feel better in swimwear and other situations. Therefore, this surgery leads to a better self-image.
Unlike more invasive procedures, arm lipo has a relatively short recovery time. There may be some mild bruising and swelling, but it generally subsides within 2 weeks. Most patients can return to normal activity after about 5 days. The quick recovery allows people to see results without prolonged downtime.
The cost of arm lipo in Miami ranges from $2,000 to $6,000. The price varies depending on the extent of fat removal needed and the surgeon performing the procedure.
