Liposuction of arms. Prices, reviews, ratings
General information
The shape of the arms largely affects the overall impression of a person's figure. The fatty tissue, which is located in the area from the elbow to the shoulder, can be superficial and deep. In this case, superficial fat deposits are concentrated mainly in the back third of the human shoulder. But the shoulder curve drops with age, the contour becomes less elegant, and weight gain is often observed, the skin loses elasticity, and the muscles lose tone. Therefore, surgeons often perform liposuction of the arms as a way to restore the natural contour, correct the appearance and make the patient's arms slimmer. The removal of fat tissue from the shoulder occurs in a circle to cover the entire required volume. Sometimes it is necessary to carry out a number of additional procedures, which, together with liposuction of the arms, form a whole complex of operations designed to improve a person's appearance. Firstly, sometimes, in order to maintain the natural proportions of the body, it is also necessary to remove excess fat tissue in adjacent areas. Secondly, sometimes when a large amount of fat is removed, the skin does not regain its original shape and needs to be tightened.
Procedure
Preparation
Before surgery, you must consult with a plastic surgeon to discuss the desired shape of your arms. It is also important to undergo diagnostic procedures to check the condition of your kidneys, liver, and chest organs. A laboratory blood test is required to identify chronic diseases, blood clotting levels, and an ECG is also done.
Arm liposuction procedure
The surgeon makes several punctures in the skin, installs special cannulas through which the fatty tissue is removed. These hollow tubes are installed so as to cover about 270 degrees of the patient's shoulder circumference. The operation can be performed under local anesthesia.
Rehabilitation period
The swelling should completely subside by the 6th week after the operation. The stitches are removed a week after the procedure, as a rule, there are no noticeable scars, as with brachioplasty, due to the fact that the operation does not involve tissue excision, but rather the removal of soft fat deposits through cannulas. During the first month and a half, physical activity should be limited and serious strain on the arms should be avoided. The patient should wear compression underwear.
The period of time allotted for rehabilitation depends on the volume of tissue removed.
Indications
The main indication for this type of surgical intervention is the patient's desire. But the need for arm liposuction usually arises in the following cases:
- too much fat;
- disproportion of the upper part of the human silhouette due to fat deposits on the arms. This is influenced by heredity;
- sagging fatty tissue of the arms;
- lack of effect from physical exercises and diets.
Contraindications
Contraindications for this operation include:
- diabetes mellitus;
- inelastic skin of the hands;
- pathologies and diseases of the cardiovascular system, problems with the respiratory system, kidneys and liver;
- exacerbation of chronic processes;
- infectious diseases.
Complications
Sometimes swelling and hematomas appear at the site of the surgical intervention, but such consequences are typical for any operations and are neutralized by postoperative care. The high level of safety of arm liposuction is reflected in the absence of any complications, but, of course, only with the proper quality of the surgical intervention itself.
Prices and clinics
Arm liposuction is performed in specialized clinics by professional plastic surgeons. The cost of the service depends on the technical equipment of the center and its location.
