Arm Sculpting Surgery: Techniques and What to Expect After

Arm sculpting surgery is the most effective way to create slim, toned upper limbs. These days, achieving body perfection is increasingly important to women everywhere. However, toning the arms can be especially challenging. Due to a combination of age and genetics, fat can build up on the upper arms. Unfortunately, it is hard to shift with just diet and exercise alone. Therefore, surgery is the best solution for those eager to boost their confidence and achieve their contouring goals.

What is Arm Sculpting Surgery?

The term arm sculpting surgery refers to cosmetic procedures that focus on reducing fat and improving the upper arm contours. Many people, especially women, have significant concerns about the appearance of their arms. Stubborn fat tends to accumulate in this area and is difficult to eradicate, even through positive lifestyle changes. As a result, those with stubborn arm fat can suffer from low self-confidence and poor self-esteem.

Liposuction is the go-to solution for targeted fat removal, offering a less invasive alternative to more extensive procedures like brachioplasty. It removes the unattractive excess arm fat and creates more sculpted contours.

The Celebrity Arms technique is an especially effective form of arm sculpting surgery. Using innovative Active Lipo techniques, Celebrity Arms removes up to 90% of excess arm fat.

What Is The Active Liposuction Technique For The Arms?

Active Liposuction is a dynamic and advanced liposuction method. Regular liposuction involves the patient lying down still on a bed. Active Liposuction, meanwhile, involves the patient moving and tensing their muscles during the surgery itself. Doing this makes it possible to maximize fat removal and achieve the most attractive results.

Not all surgeons offer Active Liposuction treatments. In fact, virtually all surgeons perform standard liposuction techniques. Dr Su at ArtLipo in Tampa, FL, is the pioneer of the Active Liposuction technique. If you take a look at the ArtLipo website gallery, you can see the outstanding results he achieves for patients.

What is the Celebrity Arms Technique?

The Celebrity Arms technique is a specialized approach to arm liposuction. It is designed to create perfectly sculpted, toned arms that resemble the lean, defined arms of celebrities.

Dr Su pioneered this approach to arm liposuction in direct contrast to the methods of other cosmetic surgeons. There are some surgeons who will not treat the arms at all. Those who do will typically only treat the underhang of the arm. As they are only treating a small area, they can only remove a small percentage of fat. They remove no fat from the top or sides of the arm or from the shoulder area. With this in mind, it isn’t surprising that so many patients are disappointed with their outcome.

The Celebrity Arms technique uses Active Lipo to ensure maximum fat removal paired with treatment of the entire arm. Rather than solely treating the underhang, Dr Su treats the whole 360 curve of the arm and shoulder. This complete approach means that up to 90% of excess fat can be removed.

Even better, this innovative technique can achieve an impressive amount of skin tightening, too. That makes it suitable for people with even moderate skin laxity.

Am I A Good Candidate For Arm Sculpting Surgery?

Are you wondering if you’re a good candidate for arm sculpting surgery?  If you have fat pockets in the arms but retain quite good skin elasticity, you may be a good candidate.

Some women worry that they have too much loose skin on their arms to benefit from liposuction. Most cosmetic surgeons will tell women with this problem that they need an arm lift. That isn’t always the case. In fact, even people with moderate arm laxity can benefit from the Celebrity Arms procedure. On the other hand, if you have lots of excess skin, it may not be an ideal surgery for you. For example, if you’ve undergone extreme weight loss, you may have minimal arm fat but excess loose skin. Liposuction cannot help in this case as it only removes fat, not skin. You would instead require a brachioplasty, which cuts away the excess skin.

If you suffer from certain health conditions, you may not be a suitable candidate for liposuction either. For example, if you have a bleeding disorder or cardiac problems, you may be unable to undergo liposuction surgery.

The best way to determine whether you are a good candidate for upper arm liposuction is to seek a consultation. The first step is to choose the right surgeon. Dr Su at ArtLipo is an excellent choice if you’re seeking arm liposuction. He can determine your suitability for surgery and give you an idea of the outcome you can expect.
