360° Arm Liposuction - “Celebrity Arms”
Ultimate Arm Liposuction
360° Arm Liposuction vs. Traditional Arm Lipo
Traditional Arm Liposuction Limitations
360° Arm Liposuction (Celebrity Arms™) is the most advanced and beautiful form of arm liposuction! Creating results that are vastly superior, it fully encircles the entire upper arm, removes fat completely, and creates the ultimate slimming that traditional underarm liposuction performed by 99% of plastic surgeons can’t even compare to. Dr. Thomas Su at Artlipo was the first cosmetic surgeon to elevate arm liposuction to a new level by inventing Celebrity Arms™—a 360-degree technique that treats the entire upper arm. This innovation allows us to achieve the ultimate in arm slimming, revealing beautifully toned and defined arms—results that were never possible with traditional lipo.
Standard liposuction of the upper arm only treats a small portion of the underhang of the arm, addressing only about 30% of the fat. This leaves fat on the sides and front of the arms, and the shoulders untouched, resulting in a limited change that is often hard to even appreciate.
The Experts and Specialists in 360° Arm Liposuction
At Artlipo, we are the experts and specialists in arm liposuction. In 2011, Dr. Thomas Su at Artlipo was the first cosmetic surgeon in the U.S. to pioneer and perform 360° or circumferential arm liposuction, something that other surgeons said was impossible. His dedicated focus to 360° arm liposuction led to a book on the topic, Celebrity Arms in a Day (2014), and multiple lectures that followed. Since then, Artlipo has likely performed more arm liposuction than any other clinic in the world. With over a decade of specialization in arm liposuction 360°, we have now had over 2,000+ cases and have perfected our technique. Our 360° arm liposuction is the only way to achieve the ultimate in arm slimming, and to reveal beautifully toned and defined arms—results that are just not possible with traditional lipo. Even today, not even 1% of other plastic surgeons have the skills or experience in performing liposuction 360° of the arms.
Why Consider 360° Arm Liposuction?
Beautiful arms are one of the most important aspects of a woman’s body looking great!

There really is a slim arm hiding underneath the fat that is waiting to be revealed. Our arm surgery takes about 2 hours, and you see your results immediately. End the arm struggle that’s been going on for years or even decades. When diet and exercise haven’t worked, we’re here to sculpt the sleek, contoured arms you’ve always wanted—with results that are permanent.
Benefits of 360° Arm Liposuction
Comprehensive Treatment for Full Arm Slimming
- 360-Degree “All the Way Around” Treatment – You get the most slimming effect when all sides of the arms are treated in a circumferential fashion, unlike traditional lipo that only targets a small portion on one side.
- Ultra-Complete Fat Removal – We remove 80–90% of the fat thickness, compared to the typical 50% with conservative methods giving you the most dramatic slimming possible.
- Toned, Defined Contours – We expertly sculpt around the muscles to reveal your natural shape, leaving your arms looking truly toned and defined.
- Skin Tightening Benefits – Our proprietary techniques naturally tighten the skin, making skin removal procedures unnecessary in most cases.
Liposuction of Upper Back, Bra Bulges, and Forearms
Targeting Surrounding Areas for Enhanced Results
Achieving the best cosmetic arm liposuction results can often require liposuction of surrounding areas, including the forearms, upper back bra bulge, and frontal bra bulge (axilla). It is important to treat these accessory areas when they are pronounced because they otherwise detract from the overall appearance of the total region of the body. As the experts in arm liposuction, we have lots of experience in the bra bulges, whereas most surgeons do not treat these areas.

How is Arm Lipo 360 Done? Interactive Liposuction
The Interactive Lipo Method
While we use the most advanced technology and equipment available, we don’t credit our superior results to machines. Our outcomes come from specialized training, years of experience, and an artistic approach that has been refined over more than a decade.
All of our surgeries are performed while the patient is awake, using a specialized technique developed by Dr. Su called Interactive Lipo. This method allows for the precision and finesse needed to achieve exceptional results. Patients hold their arms in specific positions and tense their muscles, giving the surgeon enhanced control while sculpting.
We use local anesthetic through a process called tumescent liposuction, which ensures comfort throughout the procedure. It’s also safer than surgery performed under general anesthesia and allows for a faster, smoother recovery.
Who Can Get Arm Liposuction 360 – Celebrity Arms?
We perform 360° Arm Liposuction on a wide range of patients—from those with very thin arms to those with much larger arms. For thinner patients, the goal is slimming with enhanced definition and contouring. For larger patients, we focus on achieving a significantly smaller size while creating more beautiful, sculpted contours. Some limitations do exist, primarily due to pre-existing skin looseness or advanced age, which may affect final results.
Why Working Out and Diet Don’t Work
Many patients report working out on their arms for years but seeing no results. Their muscles are strong, but they are unable to develop any definition. This causes a feeling of hopelessness as thin and beautiful arms appear to be out of the question. The trouble with working out is that it does not eradicate arm fat. The muscles may be strong, but they remain covered with a layer of fat. Women often have a fat layer of between a half-inch to three-fourths-inch thick. This hides any muscle contours that may be there. Until you remove the fat, it's impossible to achieve the appearance of sexy, contoured arms. When our Artlipo surgeons perform lipo on your arms, only an extremely thin layer of fat remains. This means we will accurately follow your muscle contours. As a result of our Celebrity Arms technique, you'll immediately see sexy, toned arms, and the results will be long-lasting.
Skin Tightening with Arm Liposuction 360
Every patient who has 360° arm liposuction will have significant skin tightening. This is skin tightening that is not possible from conventional arm liposuction. Most patients with mild or no skin looseness will experience a complete tightening of their skin. Those with moderate looseness or hanging skin and fat will experience a moderate amount of skin tightening, leaving only a small amount of looseness or wrinkles. This means there is now an effective alternative to a brachioplasty. Even those with severe looseness and fat hang will experience a large retraction. However, these larger patients will definitely have some hanging skin and noticeable wrinkles. We encourage anyone with severe looseness to not do this procedure unless they are not concerned at all about loose skin or are prepared to have a brachioplasty as a follow-up surgery. Renuvion is an additional technology that we recommend for anyone that we anticipate will have light wrinkles that will help tighten the skin. It is an add-on option.

Recovery for Arm Lipo 360
Recovery from arm lipo 360 is relatively quick compared to other types of cosmetic surgery, but it is still surgery. You should plan on 2-3 months to see your full results and to be enjoying the finished cosmetic outcome. Initially, there will be pain and discomfort for the first week or two. A compression garment is necessary to wear for at least 2 weeks. Manual lymphatic drainage is allowed after a week and can be helpful but not necessary. Swelling will be at its maximum around 2 weeks out and will take a couple of months to mostly resolve. We advise patients to not work out their arms for 1 full month after surgery, but other light to normal activity is allowed. All patients are given the doctor’s cell phone number for direct access during the healing process. We conduct virtual follow-ups at 2 weeks and 3 months after surgery, but patients can reach out to us at any time and can come in for an in-office follow-up if they desire. Touch-ups are not commonly necessary but are available after 5 months of initial healing.
Cost of Arm Liposuction 360
Arm liposuction 360 is the most advanced and comprehensive arm liposuction available. Because it is so exclusive and requires skills that have been mastered by only a few cosmetic or plastic surgeons, this is reflected in the cost. Whereas standard or conventional arm liposuction can cost 5-7 thousand, you can expect our 360 arm lipo to cost about 3 times that amount. We expertly address the full arm and not just a small portion, and also remove about 3 times the amount of fat. We are also the best at removing additional (optional) areas around the armpits and upper back, which most surgeons don’t even perform. However, our results are incomparable in their cosmetic outcome. If you are someone who truly values the appearance of your arms, and you want to have the best results, then the surgeons at Artlipo are your only choice.
