VASER Arm Liposuction for Toned, Defined Arms by Dr. Timothy Katzen*

This case features a White woman in her 20s who chose board-certified Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Timothy Katzen for VASER liposuction of the arms to achieve a slimmer, more toned upper-arm contour.  She weighed 148 lbs at the time of surgery and was placed under general anesthesia for comfort and precision.  Even at a healthy weight, some patients have stubborn fat along the inner arm and behind the triceps that can hide definition and make the arms look heavier in photos.  Dr. Katzen began by infusing tumescent solution, which helps minimize bleeding and bruising and allows the fatty layer to separate more smoothly.  He then used ultrasound-assisted VASER technology to gently loosen the targeted fat cells.  Through small, carefully hidden incisions near natural creases, a thin cannula was used to remove the loosened fat in controlled, even passes.  Special attention was given to blending the contour from the upper arm into the armpit and shoulder so the final result looks smooth and natural, not “over-sculpted.”  After shaping, the tiny incisions were closed and compression sleeves were applied to support healing and reduce swelling.  These before-and-after photos, taken 1 month after VASER arm lipo, already show remarkable results with a slimmer arm profile, improved definition, and a more athletic look.  As swelling continues to resolve and the skin contracts over the next several months, her arm contouring results with Dr. Timothy Katzen are expected to become even more refined.
