Genetics, natural aging, gravity and lack of exercise are the key factors that cause fat to build up in the upper arms, leading to flabby arms or “bat wings”. Stubborn upper arm fat can make you look older and unfit, and ruin your entire appearance even the rest of your body is in good shape. But flabby arms usually refuse budge even with rigorous diets and exercise. That’s when arm liposuction in Manhattan, NYC could be a life saver. In leading plastic surgery practices, the procedure is performed using the minimally invasive, laser-assisted Smartlipo Triplex liposuction device.
Smartlipo laser liposuction removes unwanted fat and sagging skin in the upper arms, tightens the underlying tissue to result in slimmer, firmer, and youthful looking upper arms. When compared to traditional arm liposuction, this minimally-invasive procedure involves significantly less downtime and faster recovery. However, one question that many patients ask their plastic surgeon is whether the outcomes of arm liposuction are permanent. The fact is that while the treatment does promise long-lasting results, weight gain after the procedure can affect the outcomes you achieve. Maintaining a stable weight is the key to maintaining arm liposuction results.
Laser liposuction on arms in Manhattan starts with the surgeon making small incisions in the upper arm to insert the cannula of the Smartlipo device. Laser energy is delivered directly via the cannula to the fat cells causing them to rupture. The liquefied fat is then gently suctioned out. The underlying supportive tissue is tightened and the skin is smoothed over the new, reshaped contour.
The Smartlipo Triplex workstation blends multiple laser wavelengths – 1440 nm, 1320 nm and 1064nm – in a single laser output. It offers the dual benefits of fat removal and skin tightening, where the laser melts the fat so that it can be more easily removed and as the cannula is very small, it also reduces potential scarring compared to conventional liposuction. This advanced FDA-approved system also features intelligent delivery systems that monitor skin temperature and regulate the flow of energy, thereby preventing overtreatment.
Laser liposuction can permanently remove localized deposits of fat, but along with that, patients should also try to avoid weight gain. If you put extra weight back on, it will result in the creation of new fat cells, which will eventually cause the regrowth of fat in the arm area. So, maintain a healthy lifestyle post-treatment.
If you are considering laser liposuction on arms, choose a practice that provides the services of plastic surgeons who have extensive experience in using Smartlipo technology to perform the procedure. Apart from effective liposuction procedures to zap excess body fat, reliable practices surgeons may also offer weight management programs to help you maintain the excellent results. A reliable surgeon will inform you about the risks and benefits associated with the procedure and guide you in taking an informed decision.
