What Are the Possible Complications from Arm Liposuction?

Arm liposuction is a surgical procedure that aims to remove excess fat from the arms. Like any surgical procedure, it carries some potential complications, which may include:
1. Swelling and Bruising: Temporary swelling and bruising are common after arm liposuction, but they usually subside over time.2. Infection: Although rare, there is a risk of infection at the incision sites.3. Irregularities in Contour: In some cases, the skin may not retract evenly, leading to irregularities in the contour of the arms.4. Numbness or Sensation Changes: Some patients may experience temporary numbness or altered sensation in the treated area, which usually resolves over time.5. Scarring: While incisions for liposuction are typically small, there is still a risk of noticeable scarring.6. Asymmetry: Achieving perfect symmetry can be challenging, and there is a risk of slight differences between the two arms.7. Fluid Accumulation (Seroma): Fluid can accumulate under the skin, forming a seroma. This may require drainage.8. Skin Irregularities: Rippling or dimpling of the skin can occur in some cases.9. Allergic Reactions: Although rare, there is a risk of allergic reactions to anesthesia or other medications used during the procedure.10. Unsatisfactory Results: Sometimes, the desired results may not be achieved, or there may be a need for further touch-up procedures.
It’s important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can assess your individual situation and discuss the potential risks and benefits of arm liposuction with you. They can provide you with more specific information and guidance based on your unique circumstances.

As a young person, your tissues should probably retract pretty well. Of course, I could not be sure without a proper exam.
