Upper extremity liposuction is appropriate for younger patients with fatty collections and good skin quality. Women request this procedure more than men. Skin is thin in the arm, so skin retraction is less likely in the standard patient than abdomen or back. Skin laxity is possible after liposuction, and if this is anticipated, it is best to discuss the potential need for second-stage skin removal. Arm Liposuction treatment is often weighed against arm lift with the possibility of a visible scar. While liposuction reduces bulk and improves the contour of the arm, it cannot treat skin redundancy. Liposuction in the arm is challenging, finding the balance between removing subcutaneous fat to uncover a more muscular physique without removing so much that there is resulting skin redundancy. Today, non-invasive options are performed as an adjunct to liposuction to enhance the completeness of fat removal and the evenness of the result and aid in skin tightening and smoothing.
