ARM REDUCTION & LIPOSUCTION

Arm Reduction is a procedure that reduces the size of the arms by reducing the amount of its stubborn fat and or the saggy skin. 

VASER Liposuction is an ultrasound-assisted procedure that breaks apart and removes stubborn fat from some areas of the body. It can be used on the arms, chest, abdomen, back, thighs and legs. It is safe and minimally invasive.

The ideal candidates for Liposuction are those who have a stable weight and went through a successful diet but did not manage to get rid of the stubborn fat.

VASER is currently the most used device for arm reduction. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic. The arm is infiltrated with saline containing anaesthesia. Small incision is made on the skin, through which the VASER probe enters and transmits sound energy which liquefies the fat. A second cannula is then used for the gentle suction of the liquified fat. The skin will then naturally retract. 

However, there is a risk that the skin will not retract especially if it is thin, loose and saggy. In that case it will need to be trimmed off leaving a long scar hidden on the medial aspect of the arm. Haemostasis will be performed and the wound closed with sutures. A dressing will be applied and an elastic bandage will be worn to control the swelling and bruise.

You will see 70-80% of the results straight away after surgery, however the remaining 20-30% will take few months as the body needs time to absorb all the swelling and bruise. Scars usually fade away after one year.
