Liposuction for Arms: Treating Fat in the Upper Arm and Underarm Areas

Achieving toned, well-defined arms can be difficult—especially when stubborn fat lingers in the upper arms or underarm (bra bulge) area, despite regular workouts.
At Rattinan Clinic in Bangkok, we offer specialized Upper Arm and Underarm Liposuction to help you achieve slimmer, more sculpted arms by precisely targeting fat in both the triceps region and the front/side of the armpit.

Underarms (Triceps Area)
Focuses on reducing the “bat wing” appearance caused by excess fat and skin on the underside of the upper arms.​

• The back and underside of the upper arms (triceps area)
• Between the shoulder and elbow

• The front/side of the armpit area, near the chest (not the same as the upper arm)
  
• Sometimes called “bra bulge” or “axillary fat pads“

• Remove fat from the “bat wing” area
  
• Slim down bulky or flabby upper arms
• Create a more toned and contoured appearance

• Remove the small bulge that appears under or beside the armpit, especially when wearing bras, tank tops, or swimsuits
  
• Helps smooth out the upper chest/underarm contour

Approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the extent of fat removal and whether skin tightening procedures are combined.

You may be a suitable candidate if you:

• Experience “bat wings” or jiggly upper arms due to localized fat deposits.
• Have firm underlying muscle tone with moderate excess fat.​
• Maintain good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes.​

• Women bothered by bulging in tight bras or sleeveless tops
  
• Individuals with fat deposits near the front armpit area that don’t respond to exercise

We utilize advanced technologies to ensure effective and safe fat removal:​

• Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL): Enhances precision in fat removal with minimal trauma to surrounding tissues.​
  
• BodyTite or J-Plasma: Employs radiofrequency-assisted liposuction for simultaneous fat removal and skin tightening, beneficial for areas with reduced skin elasticity.​

• Minimal Incisions: Small (3–5 mm) incisions strategically placed near the armpit or elbow.​
  
• Discreet Appearance: Scars are well-hidden within natural folds and typically fade over time, becoming barely noticeable.​

• Tiny incisions hidden in natural underarm folds
  
• Heals well and usually invisible after a few months

• Compression Garment: Wearing compression sleeves for 4–6 weeks helps reduce swelling and supports the new arm contours.​
  
• Mobility: Light activities can typically be resumed within a few days; however, strenuous exercises should be avoided for at least 2–3 weeks.​
  
• Full Results: Visible within 1–3 months as swelling subsides.​

At Rattinan Clinic, our experienced surgeons are dedicated to providing personalized care, ensuring that each procedure aligns with your unique goals and anatomy.
