How Liposuction is Done
Liposuction procedures can either be local or general anesthesia. It involves making a small incision near the focus region. A small hollow tube attached to a suction machine is then used to extract excess fat.
The plastic surgeon closes the incisions after the surgery and gives you specific post-care instructions.
The various types of liposuction are:
Suction-assisted liposuction
It is the oldest and most common liposuction surgery.
It involves making a few minor incisions and introducing a hollow needle known as a cannula into the incisions to remove the fat cells.
Tumescent liposuction
It uses anesthetics such as lidocaine and epinephrine that evoke swelling in the fat, making it easier to locate and remove.
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction UAL
It breaks down fat cells using vast energy from high-frequency sound waves.
It makes the procedure more straightforward. It is recommended to remove excess fat in the stomach and waist.
Laser-assisted liposuction
This procedure breaks down fat using a laser. First, the plastic surgeon makes several small incisions and inserts a cannula and laser probe into the region. Then, there’s an injection with an anesthetic and epinephrine to counter pain and bleeding.
Risks of Arm Liposuction
Arm liposuction should not be done if you have any medical conditions that could make the procedure riskier.
Before you have your arm liposuction, talk to your plastic surgeon about possible risks and complications of the procedure, such as:
Infection
Infections during the surgery are rare but can occur if you do not follow your plastic surgeon’s instructions carefully after surgery.
Blood clots
Blood clots may form in your arms after surgery if you take blood thinners or anti-inflammatory medications that increase your risk of developing blood clots.
Skin loss on the arms
Excessive pressure during surgery can cause skin loss in the upper arms. In addition, it can result in scars that are visible when wearing short sleeves or sleeveless outfits.
Scarring
Scars can form during the healing process (days or weeks after surgery) or later (years after surgery).
Recovery After Arm Liposuction
The recovery time after arm liposuction will vary from patient to patient. Most patients can expect to be back to their routine within four to six weeks. It is crucial to follow your surgeon’s instructions to hasten your recovery.
In general, you can expect some bruising and swelling in the area. At first, you may have some numbness, which should resolve after a few weeks. It is also customary to feel some pain in the area during this period.
