Sleeveless dresses and bikinis can make you feel sexy and attractive. However, for patients with arm-related insecurities, this may not always be the case.
Arm and underarm liposuction surgery can be an excellent way for patients to restore their confidence. At North Florida Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Center, Dr. David Mateo de Acosta can remove fat from a patient’s armpit and arm area. For slimmer, firmer arms, schedule a consultation today.
Stubborn fat in the arm and armpit region is difficult to target with dieting and exercise, making arm liposuction a highly effective choice.
Ideal candidates for arm and underarm liposuction:


Before surgery, a preliminary consultation must be scheduled with Dr. David Mateo de Acosta.
At your consultation, Dr. David Mateo de Acosta will examine your arms, gather your medical history, and discuss your desired results with you. During arm and underarm liposuction, the area is marked for treatment. Fat is separated into smaller molecules that are easier to target and suction. These cells are then removed and disposed of.

Side effects of this cosmetic procedure may include bruising and soreness. A compression sling can help reduce discomfort and swelling during the healing process.
If post-operative recommendations are followed, patients usually can return to normal activities within two weeks. To maintain the results of your procedure, it is crucial that patients maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a nutritious diet and regular exercise.
We elevate our body contouring results by incorporating the advanced AYON ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) system into all applicable liposuction procedures at North Florida Plastic Surgery.
This technique represents an evolution of traditional liposuction, using specialized ultrasonic waves to break apart and liquefy fat cells before they are removed. This sound energy allows surgeons to remove fat more smoothly while protecting surrounding tissues, blood vessels, and nerves.
By combining advanced AYON technology with surgical precision, UAL enables our plastic surgeons to sculpt more defined contours and reduce trauma during the fat removal process. Learn more about AYON and how ultrasound-assisted liposuction can help you reach your desired results.
