There is another technology

Andrew Y. Kleinman, MD answers: Smart Lipo vs. Traditional Liposuction on upper arms and love handles

I'm 5'2", 110 lbs, and Asian. I had Liposuction on my upper arms in 2004 and never really saw the results I was looking for. Will Smart Lipo on this area and love handles be any better, in results and downtime? I remember awful downtime before and would like to avoid it.

There is also VASER Lipo. This technology uses ultrasound to break up the fat cells.  This is a safe alternative for eliminating unwanted fat, revealing a smooth new shape with fast recovery. This technology helps to gently reshape your body. There has been great results especially when VASER Lipo is used on arms.

You might want to find a plastic surgeon who performs VASER lipo.

Good luck!
