Is there an alternative to lipo to get rid of forearm fat?

Question

Hi. I have really fatty forearms but I've been told it's not enough for lipo. What else can I do? It's impossible to lose and shirts just don't fit right. It's on the inside of the forearm so I'm not sure vanquish applicators could reach it.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Pictures or an exam would be helpful to make a determination.  Usually this is not a great place to liposuction as patients do not tend to accumulate fat in that area.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I do this often for patients who are candidates. I suggest seeing an expert in VASER HI DEF body contouring.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Forearm liposuction may be able to be done so I wouldn't rule it out just yet. You would have to submit pictures of your forearm for a more qualified answer.

I have done liposuction for over 30 years but only once for forearms.   Nevertheless if a person has unusual deposits of fat on a forearm it is okay to treat with liposuction with small cannulas.   My Best,   Dr Commons
