Before and after liposuction of the arms in a 59-year-old woman.  As part of her Mommy Makeover, she wanted to improve the contour of her upper arms.  She was physically fit and active – her arms did not completely reflect that.

Liposuction permanently removed fat from her upper arms through three tiny incisions on each arm.  After surgery, she wore compression sleeves for six weeks before resuming full exercise.

She started applying scar gel one month after surgery, and kept her old bruises out of the sun to avoid “post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation” (darkening of scars and formerly bruised areas due to sun exposure).

Follow up photos are shown a year after surgery.
