Excess fat in specific areas of the body, such as the upper arms, can be particularly stubborn and difficult to eliminate through diet and exercise alone.
At White Hill Clinic, we provide arm liposuction procedures in Sydney that may help improve upper arm contours.
Our experienced team is committed to ensuring that your arm liposuction surgery is tailored to meet your individual needs.
What is Arm Liposuction?
Arm liposuction is a type of liposuction surgical cosmetic procedure aimed at helping to remove excess fat from the upper arm area. By targeting and eliminating fat cells, the procedure aims to slim and reshape the arms, potentially providing a more toned appearance.
Unlike an arm lift, which primarily addresses excess skin, arm liposuction focuses on removing unwanted fat deposits to create smoother, more proportionate upper arms.
Benefits of Arm Liposuction
- Improved Contours: Achieve a more sculpted look by reducing the appearance of “bat wings” or flabby arms caused by arm fat.
- Targeted Fat Removal: Removes excess fat from the upper arms that is resistant to diet and exercise.
- Minimally Invasive: Compared to more extensive surgeries, arm liposuction involves smaller incisions and a quicker recovery time.
- Potentially Enhanced Confidence: Feel more confident in sleeveless clothing and swimwear.
Am I a Good Candidate for Arm Liposuction?
You may be a good candidate for arm liposuction if you:
- Have localised fat deposits in the upper arms.
- Are at a stable weight but have stubborn fat that does not respond to diet or exercise.
- Have good skin elasticity to ensure optimal results.
- Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure.
- Have no significant health conditions
It is important to have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure, understanding that results can vary from person to person.
Arm Liposuction at White Hill Clinic
Initial Consultation:
During your initial consultation, we will assess your upper arm area, discuss your goals, and determine whether arm liposuction is the best option for you. This is also the time to ask any questions you may have about the procedure.
The Arm Liposuction Procedure:
The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on the extent of the fat removal. Small incisions are made in inconspicuous areas, and a thin cannula is used to gently suction out the excess fat cells from the upper arms. The entire process usually takes one to two hours.
Results and Recovery:
Results from arm liposuction can be seen almost immediately, with final results becoming more apparent as swelling subsides. Recovery times vary, but most patients can return to light activities within a week and resume normal activities within two to three weeks.
Possible Risks or Side Effects
As with any surgical procedure, arm liposuction carries some risks, including:
- Bruising and swelling
- Temporary numbness
- Infection at the incision sites
- Irregular contours or asymmetry
Our team at White Hill Clinic takes every precaution to minimise these risks and ensure a smooth recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to recover from arm liposuction?
Most patients can return to light activities within a week, with full recovery and final results typically seen within a few weeks to a few months. Wearing a compression garment during recovery helps reduce swelling and promote skin tightening. Following a healthy lifestyle supports the healing process and helps maintain results.
Will arm liposuction leave visible scars?
Arm liposuction involves small incisions that are strategically placed to minimise visible scarring. Over time, these scars usually fade and become less noticeable. Proper post-operative care and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can further reduce the visibility of scars.
Can arm liposuction be combined with other procedures?
Yes, arm liposuction can be combined with other cosmetic procedures like an arm lift to address sagging skin or loose skin, especially after significant weight loss. Combining procedures can enhance overall results by removing excess skin. Discussing your goals with your surgeon will help determine the best approach.
Is arm liposuction permanent?
While arm liposuction removes fat cells from the upper arm area, maintaining a stable weight is crucial for preserving results. Significant weight gain can lead to the expansion of remaining fat cells or fat accumulation in other areas. A healthy lifestyle helps support long-lasting outcomes, but natural ageing processes will continue to affect your body over time.
Which part of the arm does arm liposuction target?
Arm liposuction specifically targets the upper arm area, focusing on removing excess fat from the inner and outer arms. This helps to create a more toned and defined contour. In some cases, additional procedures may be needed to address sagging or loose skin.
