Arm Liposuction Procedures
Arm liposuction procedures using the tumescent liposuction technique invented by Dr. Klein provides excellent cosmetic results. The use of liposuction for arms is one of the areas of the body that gives the highest levels of happiness and satisfaction to Dr Klein's patients.
Appropriate Arm Liposuction Patient
Not every person is a good candidate for an arm liposuction procedure. But for appropriate patients, the results from liposuction surgery are most gratifying. Liposuction of the arms is almost only done for women. Reqular exercise of the arms does not reduce the volume of body fat located on the arms. Most women do not want arms that appear muscular or masculine. A heavy, bulky arm gives the appearance of obesity, a thinner arm helps to give the appearance of a thinner body.
Skin Excision
Older liposuction techniques would also often include an additional excision of skin from the inner side of the arm with resulting unsightly scars. With tumescent liposuction of the arms using microcannulas, excision of skin is not necessary. Microcannular tumescent liposuction of female arms easily and consistently yields results that are well proportioned and without visible surgical scars.
Cosmetic Goals
The aesthetic goal of arm liposuction is for a woman to feel more attractive in social situations while wearing short sleeve clothing. The typical social activities involve standing or walking, sedately sitting at a table while eating or drinking, or seated at a desk writing, typing or conversing on a telephone. The goal of arm liposuction is 1) to improve a disproportionate appearance of the arm, while maintaining the quality of female beauty, 2) to allow the patient to feel more comfortable and less self-conscious when wearing a sleeveless blouse, 3) to achieve a thinner appearance of the arms when the arms are in a relaxed, dependent position alongside of the torso. The goal is not to remove the maximum possible amount of fat. Arms that are disproportionately skinny with an otherwise obese body might appear deformed rather than attractive.
