Arm Liposuction

Conveniently located to serve the areas of London and Manchester

Arm liposuction is a procedure that sculpts the upper arms, providing a slimmer and more toned appearance. The upper arms are one of the more exposed parts of the body– whether you want to wear short sleeves on a hot day or feel more confident in your favourite dress, the last thing you need is to feel self-conscious about your physique. Arm liposuction can grant you the freedom to feel comfortable and attractive in any kind of clothing. By removing excess fat, the procedure can also help highlight the muscular definition that you work hard for in the gym. Liposuction, in general, only requires incisions of a couple of centimetres, so you will not have to worry about noticeable scarring. Surgeons are also careful to place the incisions in more discreet locations.

About Excess Arm Fat and Liposuction

Many people refer to flabby arms as having a "bat wing" appearance since the weight of excess fat can cause the skin to droop downward. It can be a major hit to one’s self-esteem. Excess arm fat can accumulate for a number of different reasons and be extremely difficult to get rid of with standard exercise or diet. Many studies have shown that the development of subcutaneous fat in this area can be linked to hormonal fluctuations, changes in body composition with age, and natural body shape- particularly, the "apple" shape. Even in young adults, MRI research has confirmed that the body fat percentage within the arms is much higher than within the thigh region. ⁽¹⁾ Pricing for Women those who want to trim their body to appear more aesthetically pleasing, liposuction allows patients to attain their ideal shape with minimal downtime when compared with other cosmetic surgical procedures. Dr Frati makes one tiny incision within the inside of each arm, gaining access to the fat pockets just under the skin. He can then strategically slip a handheld instrument called a cannula to suction the fat away.

What is VASER Liposuction?

With VASER (vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance) liposuction, Dr Frati can further enhance the effectiveness of liposuction by introducing ultrasound waves prior to suctioning the targeted pockets of fat. During the procedure, he can insert the VASER probe to administer this vibration-like energy to separate the fat from surrounding fibrous tissue with ease and break it down, allowing the suction cannula to harvest a higher concentration of fat and less blood. With more precise fat breakdown, Dr Frati can even leave behind thin deposits of fat to accentuate muscle definition, especially in the abdomen. Patients who undergo VASER as part of their liposuction protocol can expect to have less bruising during their recovery period, helping to eliminate overall discomfort. emface(1), obagi blue radiance peel(3), pricing for women(3)
