Body Contouring
Upper arm liposuction
Liposuction of the upper arms removes localised fat that has not responded to diet and exercise. Skin quality matters as much as the amount of fat: where the skin is lax, liposuction alone can leave it looking looser, and a different procedure may be more suitable. Your surgeon will confirm the approach, the change you might expect, recovery and risks before treatment is agreed.
Concerns it may address
- Localised fat on the upper arms
- Concerns about arm contour or clothing fit
Why suitability matters
Not every treatment is right for every person. During your consultation, your clinician will review your medical history, examine the area of concern and discuss whether Upper arm liposuction — or an alternative — is appropriate for you.
