Is it possible to have lipo on my shoulders and upper arms?

Vaser liposuction, also known as Vaser #lipo, LipoSelection or Liposuction, is an advanced body #contouring procedure that selectively removes unwanted body fat. An alternative to the harsh techniques of traditional liposuction, #Vaser lipo uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology designed to gently #reshape your body and, yes, it can be done on the #upper #arms.There are three types of #Vaser Lipo. Each benefit patients differently depending on their needs. Vaser Lipo  is capable of removing fat from resilient areas providing a smoother and slimmer results. It is common for reducing love handles, extra skin along the bra line or flanks on many female patients. Additionally, it is often applied to the reduction of male breast surgeries, called gynecomastia surgery. Meanwhile, Vaser Hi-Def  targets both deep and superficial fat cells which is found around muscle tissue. This is suggested to tone and defined rather than reduce fat when not necessary. Finally, Vaser #4D, although similar to Vaser Hi-Def works well with the existing muscle tissue.. However, it results in more natural appearing definition to those areas, being treated. Vaser 4D is often applied to treating abdominal region to improve definition.  Additionally, it's not uncommon for Vaser Liposuction to combined with fat transfer which removes and transfers fat to another area of the body.
It's best to begin consulting with a board certified plastic surgery to learn if you are a candidate for liposuction. If so, you will then learn more about which #technique will work best for you and your goals. It is important you select a plastic surgeon who is #board-certified and has a great deal of experience with #vaser #liposuction.

It is certainly possible as I do it at least a couple of times a week, but I would have to see pictures or examine you to make a recommendation.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Liposuction of the upper arms is fairly common. Liposuction of the shoulders less so but if there is indeed surplus fat than it can be removed by liposuction.

Liposuction can certainly be done for these areas if there is excess fat deposit although it is less common than areas like the Abdomen and Thighs. The extent of the "problem" will need to be determined after careful examination by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. 

Yes,
liposuction can certainly help contour your upper arms and back, although of
course a physical evaluation would be necessary first to decide the best
approach. I like to use AquaShape™ liposuction for greater precision, and the results
and recovery are typically much faster as well. More important than the specific
lipo technique used, though, is the skill of your surgeon, particularly in a
more fibrous area like the upper back and shoulders. Be sure to look for a
board certified plastic surgeon who is well-versed in upper body contouring
with liposuction.

If your diagnosis is too much fat in the wrong place, then you may very well be a good candidate for liposuction.A physical examination is mandatory in making a correct assessment.Our practice is devoted to almost exclusively liposuction. We use a combination of Smart and Tickle lipo with consistently good results. We have treated over 1,000 patients. Most of our procedures are done with patients awake. We use no needles, no scalpels and no sutures.I hope that helps.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
