Arm Liposuction in Geneva - Dr. Marianne Prevot, Cosmetic Surgery

Overview

The accumulation of fat tissue on the lower part of your arms (not forearms) is very frequent in women. It sometimes appears early in adulthood, in which case liposuction is the most effective, as it allows to modify a bad repartition of fat cells permanently.

Is it for you?

Anyone with an excess of fat in the arms can benefit from a liposuction.

Technique

The overall principle is to liquefy unwanted fat by injecting a liquid into the fat tissue and removing it using a small suction cannula in a homogenous manner. This technique is especially tedious when used on the arms. I also offer a circular or semi-circular technique to allow for the skin to retract after the operation.

Procedure

The operation is conducted at the clinic under local or general anesthesia and lasts an hour to an hour and a half. It is advised to stay at the clinic for a minimum of eight hours after the operation, typically overnight.

After the procedure

It is advised to take a few days off from work to ensure a smooth and easy recovery, but you can go back two work 48 hours after the operation if necessary.

You will have to wear a compression sleeve for at least a week. Your arms may be swollen and bruised for one two three weeks.

Results

Results are visible right after the operation but they become fully stable two months later. There can be minor changes during the first six months. The final result is a well defined, firm, toned arm, allowing you to feel comfortable wearing sleeveless clothes.
