At Rattinan Clinic, our arm liposuction procedure is designed to sculpt and redefine the upper arms, empowering you to feel confident, comfortable, and proud of your body. Whether you’re looking to wear sleeveless outfits with ease or simply wish to restore youthful contour and proportion, we are here to help you achieve those goals.
- Focused on the outer and underside of the upper arms—commonly known as the triceps and biceps regions.
- Specifically targets stubborn fat pockets that remain even with diligent diet and exercise.
- Helps to eliminate the “bat wing” effect, offering a sleeker, more toned arm silhouette.
Purpose of Arm Liposuction
- Reduces flabbiness and restores firm, contoured arms, allowing you to feel confident in everyday clothing, sleeveless tops, or special occasion outfits.
- Enhances your overall body balance and proportion, especially for those who have worked hard on fitness but find the upper arms remain resistant to change.
- Helps boost self-esteem and body confidence, supporting not just your physical appearance, but also your emotional well-being.
At Rattinan Clinic, we believe that the true value of this procedure is the freedom and confidence it gives back to you—whether that’s confidently raising your arms, feeling more youthful, or simply enjoying your reflection again.
Procedure Time
- The entire procedure is usually completed within 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the individual’s anatomy and goals.
We prioritize patient comfort and safety through every stage, ensuring the experience is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Ideal Candidate
- Individuals who feel self-conscious about upper arm fat that doesn’t respond to exercise or weight loss efforts.
- People with good skin elasticity, which helps the skin conform smoothly to the new shape of the arms.
- Adults in good general health, seeking to improve arm definition and achieve natural-looking, lasting results.
We take the time to listen to your concerns and design a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs, so you can envision and achieve the results you deserve.
Techniques Used at Rattinan Clinic
- Tumescent Liposuction: Utilizes a special saline solution mixed with local anesthetic to reduce bleeding, minimize bruising, and ease fat removal.
- VASER Liposuction (Ultrasonic-Assisted Liposuction): Breaks down fat cells with ultrasonic energy, allowing for precise contouring with minimal damage to surrounding tissues—resulting in smoother, more sculpted arms and faster recovery.
- Our expert surgeons combine technical skill and artistic precision to ensure that your arms look natural and proportional to your body.
Scarring After Arm Liposuction
- Minimal and discreet scarring, thanks to small incisions (usually less than 1 cm) placed in hidden areas such as the armpit crease or near the elbow.
With our advanced techniques and attentive aftercare, scars fade over time, leaving you with beautiful, confident results.
Recovery
We understand that recovery is an important part of the journey, and we are here to support you every step of the way:
- Compression garments are provided to reduce swelling and help shape your arms:
- Worn 24 hours a day for the first 3 days (72 hours).
- After that, worn 12 hours a day for 1 to 3 months to ensure optimal results.
- Wound care and follow-up appointments are scheduled, with the first dressing done at our clinic the day after surgery.
- Stitch removal is typically done 7 days post-surgery, followed by personalized guidance on massage techniques (manual and machine-assisted) to enhance healing, reduce swelling, and prevent fluid buildup (seroma).
- You can resume light exercise after 2 weeks, helping you stay active and feel like yourself again. More vigorous activities can begin after 1 month.
Our dedicated team is always available for ongoing support, ensuring you feel confident and reassured throughout your recovery.
What You Will Gain
- Beautifully contoured, firmer arms that look natural and proportional to your body.
- Freedom to wear sleeveless or fitted clothing without hesitation or self-consciousness.
- Enhanced self-esteem and confidence, knowing that your outer appearance reflects how you feel inside.
- A sense of accomplishment and empowerment, especially if you’ve struggled with stubborn arm fat despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
- Improved comfort in daily movements and activities, feeling lighter and more agile.
Our clients often tell us how transformative this experience is—not just physically, but emotionally. Feeling good in your body impacts every aspect of your life, from social situations to personal relationships and even professional confidence.
Important Considerations
- Skin Elasticity: Adequate skin elasticity is crucial for optimal results; if skin laxity is present, additional skin tightening procedures may be recommended.
- Not a Weight Loss Solution: Upper arm liposuction is intended for body contouring and is not a substitute for weight loss.
- Maintenance: Sustaining results requires a commitment to a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet.
- Hydration: Drink 1-2 liters of water on the day of surgery and continue to stay well-hydrated for optimal recovery.
- Avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 7 days post-surgery to promote healing and minimize complications.
- Follow a high-protein diet to support tissue repair, while reducing starchy and salty foods (which can increase swelling) for at least 2 weeks.
- Avoid fermented, raw, or semi-raw foods until stitches are removed to reduce infection risks.
- Do not remove your compression garment yourself on the first day, as dizziness or fainting may occur. Our trained staff will assist you safely at the clinic.
