Can liposuction be done on bicep (the outer part of the arm)?

Question

You can literally pinch the fat on top of my bicep in the outer part of my arms, can liposuction be done all the way around the arm???

David Hansen, MD · Answer

Liposuction under tumescent local with the smaller cannulas and done all around the arm tends to give the best results and is easy to undergo.

Afshin Farzadmehr, MD · Answer

yes it can be done.  I have done this procedure with perfect results for over 14 years.  It costs around $2500

Austin Hayes, MD · Answer

It's a good question. Yes, liposuction can be performed around the entire upper arm where there are areas of excess fat. Visiting a board-certified plastic surgeon in person will let you know whether you're a good candidate for liposuction.

Joseph Mele, MD · Answer

Liposuction can be performed on the arms in any area where there is disproportionate fat and the skin is tight. The most common area is the lower part of the arm when the arm is held straight out, because this is where most people keep excess arm fat. However, liposuction can be performed on the top or back if there is disproportionate fat in the location. A quick pinch test is all that is needed to confirm it. Be certain to seek a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area to review all your options.

Yes you can contour the entire arm 360 degrees if someone has fat around it.  Please see a vaser hi def sculpting expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello sg911 this is a good question. Yes, liposuction can be performed around the entire upper arm where there are areas of excess fat. Visiting a board-certified plastic surgeon in person will let you know whether you're a good candidate for liposuction or not. Liposuction is beneficial for someone who is in good health and has worked hard to get in shape. They lose some extra pounds, but can’t seem to get rid of those troublesome deposits of fat in key areas, no matter how diligent and devoted they work at it.My best recommendation to you is to seek a few consultations with a board certified plastic surgeon to better review your case and make the best plan for your desired results.

Johnson C. Lee, MD · Answer

Liposuction can be done all the way around the arm. If done appropriately, this is a safe, effective technique to reduce the layer of fat on top of your muscles. If you have significant excess skin, you may need an additional excisional component to tighten the arm, but fat alone can be easily treated with liposuction. Best of luck!

Vincent D. Lepore, MD (retired) · Answer

If there is a significant amount of fat in this area and the skin tone is good, then yes, liposuction can be done in this area.  It is possible to liposuction the full circumference of the arm if the skin tone is adequate.  Consideration should be given to ultrasound assisted (Vaser) liposuction, as this adjunct can help tone the skin.  Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive liposuction experience.   Best wishes, Dr. Lepore.
