Arm liposuction is becoming a popular solution for anyone unhappy with the appearance of her upper arms. It’s an effective solution to remove excess fat that diet and exercise simply can’t get rid of. Even targeted arm exercises often have little impact on the batwing area. Fat often accumulates in this area and can, then, be difficult to eradicate. Liposuction is the answer. It removes the excess fat cells permanently. However, before having any type of cosmetic surgery, it’s important to know what kind of results to expect. So, looking at arm lipo before and after pictures can help prepare you. What differences are you likely to see?
Before Arm Lipo
Women who seek out arm lipo usually have sagging in their underarm areas. Excess fat makes this area look like “batwings.” This can reduce your self-esteem and make you feel self-conscious when wearing sleeveless tops or swimsuits. To be a good candidate for arm liposuction, you should have good skin elasticity. If there is a lot of excess skin, as well as fat, an arm lift might be a better choice for you. When you choose Artlipo for your procedure, though, our skilled surgeon can achieve a significant tightening effect.
Immediately After Lipo
Immediately following your arm liposuction, you will probably see a reduction in the size of your arms. However, don’t worry if that reduction is short-lived. Swelling is a natural side effect of any type of surgery. Liposuction is no exception. There will, therefore, usually be significant swelling in the days and weeks after your surgery. This is completely normal, so don’t feel discouraged. It doesn’t mean that the procedure hasn’t worked. Make sure you follow the recommendations that your surgeon gives you to ensure the best results. You must wear your compression garment as instructed and avoid excessive exercise until your surgeon advises you can resume it. There’ll be some bruising, too, so your arms may not be looking as perfect as you hoped at this stage.
After A Few Weeks
A few weeks after surgery, you will probably begin to see some clear results. Your arm appearance now is unlikely to be the final result, though. The bruising will have subsided, and you’ll notice your arms are slimmer. If you can’t see the dramatic result you were hoping for yet, don’t panic. You will usually have to wait a little longer to see the outcome.
After Six Months
Six months after your procedure, it’s likely that you will see the outcome. Some women continue to see improvements and a reduction in the size of their arms for up to 12 months. Your arms will look slimmer and more toned. The muscle definition will be much better, and you will no longer have batwings. You will be able to wear sleeveless dresses and tops without worrying about the appearance of your arms.
Choosing A Cosmetic Surgeon for Arm Lipo
The upper arms are an especially difficult area of the body to treat. Many cosmetic surgeons take a very conservative approach. This means you won’t see the dramatic arm lipo before and after results you’ve been hoping for. When you choose Artlipo for your procedure, you can benefit from our Celebrity Arms technique. Dr. Su is a pioneer of active lipo. This is a method that involves a patient moving and tensing muscles during the procedure. As a result, you will achieve a complete outcome. The surgeon can remove more fat, and you will see better muscle definition. If you want to know more about how we can help you, contact our friendly team today.
