Can Liposuction to the elbow area be successfully done?

Question

I know it is challenging to lipo the elbow area, but I have fat there that I want gone -- even if I have to go multiple times and use a small cannula. Can it be done?

Provided the contour issue is fat liposuction can be performed around the elbow.This would be done with very small cannulas.

If this is referring to fatty deposits superior to the elbow and there is good skin elasticity, liposuction can improve this area.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Liposuction to this area is relatively easy, and can be done with little downtime.  Seek a formal consultation. I wish you the best of luck, Dr. Emer.

Liposuction can be successfully performed to correct excess fat deposits or drooping arms including the elbows. It is performed simply under local anesthesia in about 30 minutes.  A laser fiber may be inserted  (SmartLipo) to add increased tightness over the overlying skin.  You can go back to work the next day.  A  little bruising may occur but there is almost no scarring associated with this procedure.  Those elbows can be youthful again and and residual skin looseness can be improved by Venus or Thermage treatments.

Yes, liposuction to the upper arms, including the elbow area, can be done successfully. It is best to use a small bore cannula. It is a relatively easy area to have liposuction done. You should have a consultation with an experienced liposuction surgeon. It shouldn't need to be done multiple times.

Yes, if the arm has fatty tissue, then liposuction may be an option for treatment. Best of lucjk, but you would need to be seen in person.
