Morpheus for arms
Arm liposuction is an effective surgical procedure for combating excess fat and sagging in this area of ​​the body. This technique has become one of the most common cosmetic surgery procedures because it yields good results, has a quick recovery, and is generally complication-free. Furthermore, arm liposuction creates a long-lasting body contour that is more difficult to achieve with massage or exercise alone. To obtain optimal results, it is important that theThe plastic surgeon chooses the arm surgery technique best suited to the patient's needs.  This type of procedure is an excellent option for those who wish to achieve significant results, with minimal or invisible scarring, eliminating moderate flaccidity and arm circumference, so that sleeveless clothing or 100% exposed skin can be worn with more confidence.
Before the procedure, it's important to address any concerns during a consultation, have laboratory tests done, and take certain precautions such as maintaining a healthy diet, not smoking, not consuming alcoholic beverages, doing some arm muscle strengthening exercises, and avoiding certain medications such as contraceptives and acetylsalicylic acid, among others. I'll explain all of this in detail!

Advantages of arm liposuction

  • Recovery time after arm surgery is rapid
  • The results are lasting.
  • The procedure is quick and minimally invasive.
  • Minimal pain
  • No need for general anesthesia
  • It can be combined with an arm lift procedure.

Most patients are able to use their arms and engage in moderate physical activity after 1 to 2 days. An improvement in skin tone and firmness is generally noticeable. This type of arm surgery significantly reduces excess fat not only in the main area, but also around the armpits and shoulders.

Disadvantages of arm liposuction:

  • Not everyone is a candidate. It is recommended to be in good health and not have excessive skin laxity or excess skin.
  • Driving is prohibited after the procedure.
  • There is no such thing as a complete facelift of excess skin.
  • May cause slight bruising.
  • Irregularities may still exist in the region.
  • There may be moderate swelling.
  • There may be an accumulation of seroma.
  • Lymphatic drainage is recommended.

Frequently asked questions about arm liposuction

  • What type of anesthesia is used?
  • The most common surgical procedure is tumescent liposuction. It can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or under general anesthesia. Local anesthesia alone is not recommended because it is a major cosmetic surgery.
  • How does the intervention take place?
  • Small incisions of less than 3 mm are made, usually near the elbow, and a special cannula is inserted to remove excess fat from the inner arms. The procedure lasts approximately one to one and a half hours, and at the end, compression sleeves are applied to stimulate lymphatic drainage for the following two months.
We must not forget the importance of medical evaluation to obtain a diagnosis and, on the basis of this, determine the most appropriate surgical technique for each specific case and, on the basis of this, be able to establish a personalized budget.

How is the recovery going?

 After the procedure, the patient must take pain relievers, anti-inflammatories, and antibiotics to manage pain and inflammation and prevent infection. They must also wear a special compression garment for their arms to control inflammation, promote blood circulation, and help excess skin adhere to the muscle. The procedure is outpatient, so the patient can return home the same day and move their arms freely.

What is the level of pain?

The pain from the operation is minimal, but each individual's pain threshold must be taken into account. During the first week, the patient will experience slight limitation of arm movement due to inflammation; however, it is important not to immobilize the arms to accelerate healing.  Starting in the second week after surgery, it is important for the patient to begin stretching exercises to prevent the development of fibrosis and to quickly resume normal activity. High-impact sports activities should be resumed from the fourth week onward, once the inflammatory process has subsided.
