Arm liposuction with BodyTite

The ideal candidate

Arm liposuction with Bodytite is recommended for people who wish to reduce excess fat and improve skin firmness in the arm area. This procedure is suitable for those who have moderate skin elasticity and want a more harmonious contour, without large incisions or visible scars.

• People with localized fat deposits on the arms
• Moderate skin elasticity, without severe excess of flabby skin
• Good general health
• Realistic expectations regarding the results
• Non-smokers or willing to stop smoking before and after the procedure

The technique

The procedure combines classic liposuction with Bodytite radiofrequency, which heats the tissues and stimulates collagen contraction, thus contributing to skin firmness. Through small incisions, a special cannula is inserted to extract the fat, and radiofrequency energy is applied to improve skin tone. This minimally invasive method reduces the risk of skin sagging and ensures a smoother contour of the arms.

Anesthesia and duration

The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the volume of fat to be removed and the patient’s preferences. The duration of the procedure varies between 1 and 2 hours.

Recovery

The first few days

Wearing a special elastic garment is recommended to support the tissues and reduce edema. Bruising and local sensitivity may occur, which improve gradually.

The first week

Most patients can resume light daily activities after a few days, avoiding intense physical effort and sun exposure.

The first month

Edema and bruising continue to fade, and the firmness of the skin begins to become more clearly noticeable. Following the postoperative instructions is important for optimal results.

The final results can be appreciated after approximately 3 to 6 months, once the tissues have completely stabilized.

Risks and safety

• Temporary edema and bruising
• Sensation of numbness or tingling in the treated area
• Asymmetries or contour irregularities
• Infections or local reactions at the incisions
• Possible skin laxity if elasticity is reduced

These risks are minimized through careful preoperative assessment, appropriate surgical technique and attentive postoperative monitoring.
