Arm liposuction removes stubborn upper arm fat for slimmer, more defined arms with minimal scarring. Dr Saba Al Marush uses advanced techniques for precise contouring and natural results.
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), arm liposuction focuses on fat removal with smaller incisions and faster recovery.
For patients with good skin elasticity, liposuction alone achieves excellent results. Those with significant loose skin may benefit from combining liposuction with an arm lift.
Understanding the difference helps determine the best procedure for your arms.
Dr Saba evaluates arm anatomy, skin quality and fat distribution.
