The buildup of excess fat deposits in the arm pit and upper arms is a major aesthetic concern, especially for women. The extra fold of skin between your arm and breast can prove a big hindrance when you’re wearing sleeveless shirts or strapless dresses. Fortunately, arm liposuction in NYC can help. NYC plastic surgeons perform this body contouring procedure using the advanced minimally-invasive laser-assisted Smartlipo Triplex device. Designed for safe and effective fat reduction, the procedure involves minimal surgical trauma, reduced downtime, and faster healing compared to traditional liposuction surgery.
According to an article published by www.americanhealthandbeauty.com, armpit fat or “pudge” usually occurs as people age. The armpit is an area where extra fat tends to get stored and skin laxity develops. Loose skin occurs in any part of body where the joints re moved all the time. In conventional arm liposuction, the surgeon moves a cannula back and forth to dislodge and then suction out fat from beneath the skin. Laser liposuction is less invasive and has made the procedure much easier.
The Smartlipo Triplex workstation modality features a combination of multiple laser wavelengths (1440, 1064 and 1320 nm) in a single laser output and is specifically designed to easily melt fat and tighten the skin for enhanced results. In the arm liposuction procedure, small incisions are made in the upper arm and elbow and laser energy is delivered directly to the fat cells through the small cannula, causing them to rupture. The liquefied fat is then gently suctioned out. The underlying supportive tissue is tightened and the skin is smoothed over the new, reshaped contour. The Smartlipo system features intelligent delivery systems that monitors skin temperature and regulates the flow of energy accordingly. This procedure offers the dual benefits of fat removal and skin tightening-the laser melts the fat so that it can be more easily removed and as the cannula is very small, it also reduces potential scarring compared to conventional liposuction on arms. The key reasons why Smartlipo is an ideal option to treat armpit fat compared to the traditional procedure are:
- Tightens the skin, avoiding the need for additional procedure to remove lax skin
- Gets rid of the bulges
- Minimally-invasive
- Patients can stay wide awake as it is performed under local anesthesia
- Results are usually immediately visible
However, not all people are ideal candidates for the treatment. Those who are close to their ideal body weight but have stubborn fat pockets are the right candidates. Also, they should be healthy with no serious medical conditions and have realistic expectations about the outcome. More importantly, following a healthy lifestyle is crucial to maintain the results.
