Are your Arms Bothering You?- As short sleeve weather approaches the loose skin and excess fullness of the arms will become more difficult to camouflage with bulky clothing.  Patients with good skin tone can be candidates for Arm Vaser, which can dramatically improve the contour and appearance of the arm diameter in s few short days of recovery.  A 4mm incision is sited over the elbow near the crease and another in the axilla for optimum post op concealment.  Vaser ultrasound energy is delivered through the two small incisions via a titanium probe passed under the skin.  The skin is stimulated to tighten as the fat layer is liquefied selectively.  No compression is needed after the first day.  The incisions are dressed with a steri-strip.  For patients with heavier arms or lots of excess skin, the Vaser technique can be combined with an arm lift or “brachioplasty” technique to facilitate shrinking of the excess tissue not addressed by surgical removal alone.  Exercise can be resumed for the larger procedure in 2 to 3 weeks.  Either procedure allows you to shower the next day. 

PS  VASER patients have permanent removal of subcutaneous fat.
