Arm Aesthetics
Surgical Methods
Liposuction (laser fat removal) is the preferred method when there is only excess fat and skin quality is good with no sagging. However, liposuction alone is not enough if there is also sagging skin. In these cases, it is advisable to raise your shoulders. The shoulder lift can be performed under local or general anesthesia. An elliptical incision is made on the inside and back of the arms, causing relaxation and removing excess skin and fat. If necessary, liposuction can also be performed on other areas of the arms in the same session.
Type of anesthesia and duration of the operation
The operation is performed in the operating room under general anesthesia. The incision site is sutured internally in two layers and a liner is applied at the end of the operation. The corset recommended by the doctor should be worn for 2-3 weeks.
