Arm liposuction –
slimmer, defined arms.

What is arm liposuction?

Arm liposuction uses a thin cannula to suction excess fat from the upper arms – targeting the posterior and lateral portions where stubborn fat accumulates. Unlike a brachioplasty (arm lift, which Dr Saba does not perform), arm liposuction focuses on fat removal with smaller incisions and faster recovery.

For patients with good skin elasticity, liposuction alone can give a well-defined result, and J-Plasma can help mild laxity. Significant loose skin needs an arm lift, which Dr Saba does not perform; she will tell you honestly at consultation if that is what you need.

Choosing the right approach.

Understanding the difference helps determine the best procedure for your arms.

• Arm liposuction – Best for good skin tone with excess fat. Smaller incisions, faster recovery, minimal scarring.
• Brachioplasty (arm lift) – For significant skin laxity. Longer incision, removes both skin and fat. A different operation that Dr Saba does not perform.
• Vaser + J-Plasma – Vaser liposuction with J-Plasma skin tightening for mild laxity.

What to expect.

Arm liposuction delivers permanent fat reduction with progressive improvement as swelling resolves.
