Is arm lipo a more difficult procedure for a surgeon to perform than other types of lipo?

September 22, 2020
Asked By:ResearchMedley in Sacramento, CA

Most gallery photos show lipo of the abs & flanks. I'm interested in arm lipo along with a few other areas. Should I see someone who specializes in arm lipo? Or would most skilled, qualified surgeons be able to provide a satisfactory result for arms because the same techniques apply regardless of the body part? I am petite (BMI 20) and 36 years old with good skin tone. I just carry extra weight in my arms, which is compounded by leftover muscle/ bulk from athletics when I was younger.
