Staying fit is a heck of a tough journey, but let’s say you’ve been on it for months. With your strict diet and even stricter workout regimen, you’re definitely seeing results…but you can’t seem to get rid of the pesky flaps of fat under your arms. They almost look like wings—but unlike actual wings, they’re bringing you down instead of allowing you to soar! What causes excessive arm fat, and how can you get rid of it when all other options have been exhausted? Arm liposuction might be in the cards for you.

What causes excessive arm fat?

Unfortunately, stubborn arm fat can be the product of aging and slow metabolism. In high school, we could get away with an extra-large fast food meal and sport a perfectly flat stomach the next day. But in our late 30s and beyond? Not so much. An overly sedentary lifestyle doesn’t help matters, either. 

Sometimes, it’s your hormones that cause fat storage. Some studies have shown that estrogen might have a say in the location of women’s fat. Being on birth control pills might make it harder to shed arm fat, too, but scientists are still on the fence about the causation of birth control and weight loss.

How do you get rid of excessive arm fat?

As mentioned above, all nonsurgical options ought to be exhausted first. Ideally, we want to keep fat off the natural way: good old diet and exercise. It’s these good habits that allow us to live a longer and healthier life. But once all is said and done and some fat cells just won’t go away even if you’ve pushed yourself to the very limit, it’s time to discuss arm liposuction. Our Belo doctors will guide you through every step of the process, from pre-op consultations to the actual surgery, to aftercare and beyond.

The new methods of liposuction at Belo aren’t like the horror stories you often hear at other clinics. 360 Liposuction, for example, uses laser heat to dissolve fat cells before suctioning them out with a super-small cannula, leaving only a dot-shaped scar in its wake. Less trauma means faster recovery! That way, you can get the arms you’ve always wanted without having to give up your precious work leaves or time with your family.

Now that our clinics are open, you can now set up consultation appointments with our doctors to see if arm liposuction is right for you. While we can’t perform surgeries just yet this GCQ, discussing in advance will give you enough time to prepare for it, both physically and emotionally. Rest assured that the experts are on your side and will do everything they can to sculpt your arms to absolute perfection!
