Reducing Underarm Fat?

Thank you for the question. It is in your best interest to be seen in person by well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon. Accurate diagnosis is critical in the decision-making process. For example, the “underarm fat” that you are referring to may be axillary breast tissue. Surgical treatment of the excess breast tissue may be different than that of excess adipose tissue. Attempted liposuction of the excess tissue (if it is breast tissue) may be... more

Non Surgical Upper Arm Reduction

Excess fat in the upper arm is tough to treat. Surgical excision works well, but leaves a noticeable scar. Liposuction works OK, but does not tighten the skin and is still invasive. Coolsculpting by Zeltig for the upper arms has worked well in my practice and is a nice non surgical option. The technology and the machine is new. There are 3 applicator heads available, non designed for the upper arms, yet the company claims it is working on a new head for the arms... more

Non surgical underarm fat removal

Absent liposuction or weight loss, some non-invasive treatments including Thermage are available but their potential for success would be limited to patients seeking small improvements. Small cannula liposuction would produce a better result. Definitely seek a consultation with a board certified plastic wigeon to assess your options.

Reducing underarm fat

Reducing underarm fat without surgery requires weight loss and exercise. If surgery is needed, liposuction with a small cannula works great as long as there is not excess skin.

Exciting options for Non surgical fat removal

Underarm Fat Removal

Your question reminds me of the lady I saw who weighed only 105 pounds, yet had excessive underarm fat. If she had tried weight loss, she would have looked too thin. Exercising the arms will not take off fat in that area. The same goes for any other area. The simplest treatment is liposuction using numbing just of the arm fat. This is called tumescent liposuction. Small instruments the size of spaghetti noodles are used to numb and then remove the fat. The arms are wrapped and most... more

Non-Surgical Fat Removal

In terms of fat removal, all of the non-surgical means ( Zerona, cool lipo, endermologie, etc.) are very hit or miss and are mostly temporary changes. They generally require multiple treatments which are expensive, and some patients see no results. Besides diet and exercise, working to tone the arms as much as possible, there are no real options besides some type of liposuction to the areas. I hope this helps.
