Before and after liposuction of the arms in a 67 year old woman. Her wedding was coming up in several months – she wanted to look her best when she tied the knot with her new love! We recommend patients allow at least 3-6 months of healing before a major event like a wedding.
She was worried she was too old for surgery, but she was cleared by her Family Doctor to have general anesthesia and a several hour long Plastic Surgery procedure. We do everything possible during surgery to prevent anesthesia-related complications such as blood clots forming in the legs (DVT), and we keep our patients warm throughout their operation with an underbody and surface non-forced air warming system with decreases bleeding and infection risks.
Together with a breast lift and tummy tuck, liposuction was performed to permanently remove excess fat from her upper arms. After surgery, she wore compression garments that limited swelling and bruising and encouraged her skin to mold to its new form.
Early follow up photos are shown two and a half months after surgery. She can already see progress in her arms and she can’t wait to try on sleeveless wedding dresses!
