Treatment information
The fat is removed from the lower aspect of the upper arm extending from the axilla to the elbow.
After the liposuction, a compression garment is worn for up to six weeks depending on the laxity of the skin.
Most patients are back at work within four days. The procedure takes about 2.5 hours.
Pricing depends on the area or areas treated. Chin liposuction starts from $5,000. Single body-area procedures (abdomen, thighs, arms, flanks) typically $7,900 to $12,990. The full pricing table is on our cost page.
During the procedure: no. You feel pressure and movement but no sharp sensation. In the first 1 to 3 days post-op: soreness similar to a hard workout, managed with paracetamol and (for larger procedures) prescribed pain relief.
Yes. We use local tumescent anaesthesia for all procedures. The treatment area is fully numb but you’re conscious throughout. Intravenous and oral sedation is used.
The incisions are 2 to 4mm and placed in natural skin creases where possible (groin folds, behind the knee, around the umbilicus, behind the earlobe, in the bikini line). They don’t need stitches. Most fade to barely visible marks by 6 to 12 months.
Return to desk work: 3 to 7 days for most procedures, up to 14 days for calves and ankles. Compression garment for 4 to 6 weeks. Gym from week 2. Full final result at 3 to 6 months.
Age itself isn’t a barrier. Skin elasticity and general health matter more than chronological age. Older patients often benefit from Renuvion added to the liposuction to address skin laxity.
