On the D-day, we’ll take photos of your arms so that we can compare them to the post-operation results once the procedure is completed. From there, markings will be made around the area where the fat is to be removed, and we’ll then usher you into the operating room for the arm-sculpting procedure. Our anaesthesiologist will then administer tumescent local anaesthesia, which is injected via tiny incisions in the arm and surrounding areas to ensure a balanced shape. A cannula is then inserted into the fat pockets to suction the fat out of the arm and surrounding areas like part of the back and the shoulders. The results are noticeable as soon as you leave the operating table, even though you may have some swelling right after the procedure. The patient is given compression garments at our facility to help reduce the swelling and expel the tumescent fluid from the arm during healing. You can go back to performing everyday routines with your arms in 2 to 5 days, although it takes about 6 months to attain full recovery and visibly see the final look. For long-lasting results, you will have to maintain a healthy lifestyle which constitutes a healthy diet and a regular exercise routine.
