Liposuction of the arms

Before the procedure, the ANACOSMA surgeon listens to the client’s wishes, estimates the thickness of the skin and fat deposits in the problem area, describes the procedure, writes out the prescription for analysis, and tells the cost of the manipulation. Liposuction can be performed if the pinch of fat on the arm is more than 2 cm. Also note that liposuction eliminates only fat deposits. If, in addition to fat deposits, there is significant sagging of the skin in the upper arms from the shoulder to the elbow (for example, after significant weight loss), in this case liposuction is not suitable, only the excision of the sagging tissue will solve the problem.

Before liposuction of the hands, a test is required (the doctor appoints for a consultation after studying the anamnesis), an ECG, a consultation with a therapist at the ANACOSMA clinic. Examination can be done directly at the clinic. If the tests are normal and there are no contraindications, then the patient begins preparation. Smoking clients are asked to temporarily give up cigarettes. It is important to take tests no earlier than 2 weeks before the operation, therefore, before passing the examination it is important to book the day of the operation, making 50% of the total cost of the operation.

The surgeon makes a marking on the area of fat accumulation. Local anesthesia is administered. When using vibrational liposuction, the apparatus will also anesthetize the manipulation site, which makes recovery more comfortable for the patient. A doctor introduces a cannula through a pair of microscopic punctures (3-5 mm in diameter). The nozzle of the device gives out vibrations that destroy fatty deposits. Destroyed tissue is removed by vacuum suction. The surgeon applies special surgical glue to the puncture sites, with which you can take a shower immediately the next day after the operation. The whole procedure lasts 60-70 minutes. After the manipulation, the client remains under medical supervision for a day (if the procedure was carried out under general anesthesia). If general anesthesia was used, depending on the patient’s condition, it is recommended to stay in the clinic for 1-2 days under the supervision of medical stuff

Rehabilitation after liposuction of the hands lasts 2-6 weeks, depending on the size of the surgical field and the characteristics of the site. During this period, the patient must not visit the gym, sauna, always wears compression underwear so that the skin in the area of manipulation is pulled as much and fast as possible.

Fat will not return to the procedure area, since it is permanently removed. However, other areas on the hands and body may increase in size. To maintain the postoperative result, surgeons at the ANACOSMA clinic in Kiev advise to play sports, avoid sharp fluctuations in weight and stress, and eat right.
