Will The Fat Return After Arm Liposuction?

“Will arm fat come back after liposuction?” This is a common question patients ask their plastic surgeon.

Flabby or bat wing arms are an aesthetic concern for many women. Even vigorous exercise and strict diets don’t usually work to address it. Arm liposuction in New York is a safe and effective way to eliminate this stubborn arm fat.

Plastic surgeons in Manhattan, NYC perform arm liposuction using advanced technologies like Smartlipo Triplex (laser assisted) BodyTite (radiofrequency assisted) and VASERlipo (ultrasound assisted). This minimally invasive arm liposuction procedure is performed under local anesthesia. The other advantages of arm liposuction in NYC include:

•  Faster recovery
• Less downtime
•   Less surgical traumas
•  Less surgical scarring
• Minimal pain

The procedure eliminates excess fat and also tightens saggy skin. But will the fat come back? Generally, the fat cells removed through liposuction may not develop again in most people. However, there are exceptions.

The fat cells in the body of an adult human being remain stable throughout their lifetime, and don’t change even if you put on or lose weight. However, the existing cells might grow bigger and smaller in accordance with the changes happening to your body.

Even after liposuction, your body does not stop converting excess sugar into fat. This fat might get stored in certain areas of your body including the arms, or in the remaining fat cells in the treatment site. So, if you gain weight after the procedure, these fat cells might expand in the treatment site and affect your results. However, improved shape would remain visible. Maintaining an ideal weight is the best way to maintain your liposuction results. During your recovery:

•  Follow your surgeon’s post-op instructions
• Eat healthy, with smaller meals spread out throughout the day
• Stay hydrated
•  Don’t skip meals
• Exercise regularly
•  Reduce calorie intake

Arm liposuction in New York is an ideal option to get rid of those batwings. If you are considering the procedure, schedule a consultation in an AAAASF-accredited plastic surgery center in Manhattan that has plastic surgeons who are experts in performing the procedure.
