Flabby upper arms are a common aesthetic concern among most women, which intensifies with aging. Factors such as hormonal changes, weight fluctuations, and reduced physical activity may cause fat to accumulate in the upper arm areas. This fat generally does not respond to even strenuous diets and exercise. BodyTite Upper Arm Liposuction is an advanced minimally-invasive option for the removal of stubborn fat.

Key Benefits of BodyTite Liposuction

How does BodyTite Work?

An FDA-cleared device, BodyTite utilizes patented RFAL™ (radiofrequency assisted liposuction) technology to reshape and tighten different areas of the body without the visible scars and prolonged downtime (associated with traditional liposuction procedure). It also coagulates the blood vessels, and tightens the skin, while leaving the surrounding tissues unharmed.

The minimally-invasive BodyTite surgical procedure begins with the plastic surgeon  administering local anesthesia. A small incision will be made to the specific arms area to insert the BodyTite hand piece into the subcutaneous tissue. RFAL energy is passed from an internal cannula to an external electrode, delivering focused energy into the adipose tissue to melt the fat. The handpiece simultaneously aspirates the liquefied fat and coagulates the tissue. The RF energy also stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin.

The final results of the procedure are patient specific and therefore may depend on the specific body area treated and the amount of fat removed. Generally, larger areas will require a longer recovery time. Initial results can be visible immediately after the procedure, with the best results noticeable after 6–12 weeks. In most cases, patients get back to their normal exercise regime within 2-3 weeks after undergoing the procedure. Light walking can be started the next day and high intensity workouts within the further weeks. Once the tenderness and swelling subsides, patients can resume their normal workout regimen.

The success of BodyTite upper arm liposuction in New York City largely depends on having it performed by a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon. Women who intend to have arm liposuction need to find an expert plastic surgeon who provides services in an AAAASF-accredited plastic surgery practice. With the right surgeon, patients can expect customized treatment and comprehensive care till full recovery.
