Arm Liposuction in Santa Barbara

Saggy upper arms can be caused by decreased collagen and elastin levels (which happens naturally as we age) or from weight gain. When the upper arms are flabby, they may have a “batwing” or “kimono” appearance that may make someone self conscious. Unfortunately, the localized fat and loose skin of the upper arm can be one of the most stubborn areas to shed or tone, even with proper diet and exercise. When this is the case, arm liposuction can make a big difference in the appearance of the arm.

Arm liposuction can be done with or without skin excision. When fat is the main issue, it can usually be treated with liposuction alone and the skin will contract without the need for skin removal. When there is too much excess skin, commonly this happens after weight loss, skin removal can be done along with the liposuction. The skin removal scar is placed on the inside of the arm (against the body), above the elbow, and is not visible from the front or back. If only a small amount of skin is removed, the skin removal can often be confined to or near the armpit.
