Learn about the arm liposuction procedure with Dr. Dennis Dass
Dr. Dennis Dass of Beverly Hills, California, routinely works with patients in and around the area who are looking to improve their body contours. For many aging men and women, the arms can be an area where stubborn fat remains, even after changes to diet and exercise habits. Arm liposuction can remove this excess fat. Let’s look at some frequently asked questions about arm liposuction heard by our team.
What exactly is arm liposuction?
Arm liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from the upper arms to create a more toned and sculpted appearance. If you have struggled with stubborn arm fat that won’t budge despite exercise, this procedure allows you to achieve the sleek arms you always wanted!
Am I a good candidate for arm liposuction?
Usually, the best candidates are healthy individuals with localized fat deposits in their arms that haven’t responded well to diet and exercise. Additionally, having good skin elasticity is a bonus since it helps the skin adjust after fat removal. If you still have excess fat after your procedure, an arm lift can be performed to remove this. It can also be done simultaneously if you do not have good skin elasticity.
Does arm liposuction leave scars?
The procedure involves small incisions to insert a cannula, a tiny tube that removes fat. But do not worry! These incisions are minor and strategically placed to minimize visible scarring. Over time, most of these scars fade and become barely noticeable.
Will arm liposuction get rid of my “bat wings”?
Absolutely! Arm liposuction targets those pesky fat pockets that contribute to the “bat wing” look. However, if loose skin is a primary concern, Dr. Dennis Dass might recommend adding a skin-tightening procedure, usually known as an “arm lift,” for the best results.
Is the recovery process painful?
Recovery following this treatment is not as bad as you might think! Most patients experience mild soreness, swelling, and bruising for the first few days, but it is manageable with prescribed medications and proper aftercare. You will be back to your daily routine in no time at all!

How soon will I see the results from treatment?
Patience is critical when it comes to achieving the final results. You will likely notice some improvement a few weeks after the procedure as swelling decreases, but final results typically appear within three to six months. Trust the process; it will definitely be worth it!
How long do the results last?
The results can last a very long time, especially if you continue to maintain your healthy lifestyle. While liposuction permanently removes the fat cells in the treated area, future weight gain will still affect your arms. Staying active and eating well will help keep your toned arms looking fabulous for many years to come, allowing you to enjoy wearing swimwear and tank tops once again!
