As with any surgery, scarring is to be expected. However, the scars from Vaser liposuction are usually small and can fade over time. As everyone is different, how noticeable the scars appear once healed will always vary. In compliance with AHPRA's updated cosmetic surgery advertising guidelines, some before and after images have been blurred. If you would like to book an in-person consultation, we can discuss your specific goals and treatment options.

Average Procedure Time 1-3 hours
Anaesthetic Type Local with sedation
Hospital Stay Day
TIME OFF WORK 1 week on average depending on multiple factors
Average RECOVERY 6 Weeks

Benefits

  • Arm liposuction focuses on removing excess fat from specific areas of the arms, which can be helpful for those who find certain areas resistant to diet and exercise, even with a healthy lifestyle.
  • The procedure is tailored to fit the individual’s body structure.
  • Most patients can return to daily activities within a week, with recovery often being more manageable due to the nature of the procedure.

Potential Candidates

You may be a suitable candidate if you identify with the following.

  • You’re in good overall health with realistic expectations about the procedure.
  • You are at a stable weight and are committed to a healthy lifestyle to maintain results.
  • You have good skin elasticity.
  • You don’t smoke – candidates must quit or refrain from smoking before and after the procedure.
  • You’re not pregnant or nursing
  • You understand that arm liposuction is not a substitute for proper diet and exercise and should have realistic goals for the procedure.

What To Expect From Arm Liposuction

Consultation Pre-Op The Procedure Aftercare & Recovery
Consultation

During your initial consultation for arm liposuction at our clinic, you will have a detailed discussion with one of our experienced medical professionals. This session is essential for reviewing your medical history, assessing your current health, and understanding your goals for the procedure.

A doctor from Levant Cosmetic Surgery will evaluate your suitability for arm liposuction and provide a comprehensive explanation of the process. This is also an opportunity for you to raise any questions or concerns you might have about the procedure.

Pre-Op

Before the surgery, we’ll guide you through several critical preparatory steps. This may include a series of medical tests and evaluations to confirm your readiness for the procedure.

You will receive detailed pre-operative instructions from us, which will cover aspects like fasting, medication, and what to wear on the day of the surgery. Adhering closely to these guidelines is vital for ensuring a smooth and safe surgical experience.

The Procedure

Our arm liposuction procedure involves the use of anaesthetic sedation for patient comfort. Vaser liposuction utilises ultrasound technology to target the unwanted fat in each treatment area.

During the surgery, a small instrument known as a cannula is inserted through a small incision site to liquefy and remove the excess fat cells using suction. Immediately following the procedure, special compression garments are applied to your arms to aid in reducing swelling and promoting healing.

Aftercare & Recovery

Getting Home

You will be required to be collected by a responsible adult to stay with you for the remainder of the day and overnight. Even if you feel normal, your reaction time will be slower after receiving sedation medication.

Aftercare

  • After your procedure, you’ll receive comprehensive post-operative instructions for a smooth transition home.
  • We provide a 24/7 contact number for any post-surgery questions, ensuring you can always reach us.
  • Your post-surgery care will be overseen by your doctor, supported by our dedicated care team.

Recovery Timeline

Immediate Post-Procedure

You’ll be released into the care of a responsible adult family member or friend.

An overnight hospital stay is not required.

Once home, you must rest and take it easy.

First Two Weeks

Expect to experience soreness and tenderness, but we’ll provide pain relief to minimise discomfort.

Compression garments are always worn post-procedure. You will be instructed on how long you will be required to wear these garments.

You should be able to start driving again after a few days.

During this time follow-up appointments will commence as organised by your care team.

Depending on individual factors, you may be able to return to work around the 1 week mark, but this will vary from patient to patient. Exercise can begin again after approximately 6 weeks post-procedure.

Two Weeks & Beyond

Follow-up appointments will continue as necessary and are scheduled by your care team.

You must continue to wear your compression garments as directed.

A surgical review with your doctor takes place approximately 6-8 weeks post-procedure.

Full recovery occurs around the 6 week mark, with full results evident in 6-12 months.

How Much Does Vaser Arm Liposuction Cost?

We understand that the cost of cosmetic surgery is a significant concern for many patients. It’s important to understand the cost of arm Vaser liposuction cannot be standardised with a one-size-fits-all flat fee. The cost of Vaser arm liposuction varies among patients and is influenced by several factors, including but not limited to:

  • The amount of fat cells to be removed from the targeted areas of the body.
  • The type of IV sedation used.
  • The duration of time spent in the operating room.
For precise pricing, a detailed quote will be provided during the consultation.
It's essential to remember that individual results will vary.
Realistic expectations are crucial, and liposuction isn't a solution for body image concerns or a substitute for a healthy lifestyle and exercise.

Why It Pays To Choose A Qualified Doctor

Opting for the most budget-friendly choice is never a wise decision, especially when it comes to healthcare and cosmetic procedures. Going for cheaper options often translates to compromising on quality, risking your safety, getting results that may not last, missing out on personalised care, and potentially facing extra expenses for corrections. To ensure better, safer outcomes and general satisfaction with your arm liposuction procedure, it’s crucial to prioritise quality and expertise.

Arm Lipo Vs Arm Lift – What’s the Difference?

Arm liposuction and arm lift (brachioplasty) are two different surgical procedures with different purposes:

  • Arm liposuction: Is a procedure focusing on the removal of excess fat from the upper arms. It may be suitable for individuals looking to reduce arm fat. This procedure is often preferred for its discreet scarring and shorter recovery time.
  • Arm lift: Focuses on addressing excess skin and excess tissue in the upper arm area. It’s an effective solution for individuals with significant skin laxity, often resulting from weight loss or ageing. While arm lifts can provide results in terms of skin tightening, they tend to involve more substantial scarring and a longer recovery period.

 

Considerations For Choosing Arm Liposuction

Vaser liposuction may be a treatment choice for suitable patients primarily concerned with excess fat rather than loose skin. However, the choice between arm liposuction or an arm lift should be based on individual goals, as well as consultations with a qualified doctor to determine which procedure best meets your specific needs.

Other Areas Vaser Liposuction Targets

Vaser liposuction can be performed on various parts of the body to reduce excess fat. The most commonly treated areas include:

Arm Liposuction FAQs

Are there any risks with arm liposuction?
While it is generally considered safe, potential complications include infection, swelling, bruising, scarring, and changes in skin sensation, such as numbness or tingling. There is also a risk of asymmetry or uneven results, fluid accumulation, and, in rare cases, blood clots or adverse reactions to anaesthesia. It’s essential to have this procedure performed by a qualified and experienced professional who can assess your overall health and medical history and discuss all potential risks with you to ensure a well-informed decision.
Will I have scarring?
Scarring is a natural outcome of surgery, and the incisions made for Vaser Liposuction typically fade over time. The visibility of scars varies among individuals, influenced by factors such as skin type and scarring history.
