Arms

Fat in the arms could be extremely annoying especially when it prohibits you from wearing certain clothes. Some patients present with stubborn fat in the arms that makes the arms look disproportionate from the rest of the body.

Arm lipo is one of the most commonly done plastic surgery procedures for body contouring. 

Slim down liposuction can be done as a stand alone procedure, or it can be combined with other cosmetic surgery procedures like liposuction of other areas, tummy tuck, fat transfer or breast surgeries. This procedure helps you to confidently wear the sleeveless tops you always dreamt of!

Dr. Ganatra uses modern techniques of vaser and/or Renuvion (J plasma) for skin tightening and for sculpturing.

Candidates : 

1. BMI less than 30
2. Patients upto 40% body fat

Why Dr.Ganatra for arm liposuction in Dubai?

Dr.Ganatra, also known as Dr.Bod uses his experience in bodybuilding to understand body fat and muscle and its impact on body shape. He believes in giving a sense of motivation or a push to those who are disappointed and frustrated with their arm fat.

1. Aspiration (fat-out) : Fat is sucked out using various cannulas using a power assisted liposuction technique (PAL). Fat is generally extracted without leaving fat blobs over the muscles to avoid an unnatural appearance. Following this, the natural grooves around the muscles are defined using special cannulas and artistic skills to reveal an athletic physique.

Being an avid sculptor himself, he uses those skills in defining the muscular anatomy by highlighting the muscles (deltoid/triceps/biceps). (3D liposuction)

In a 4D liposuction, Dr. Ganatra uses the harvested fat to inject under the muscles, mainly deltoid and biceps in patients with weak deltoids/biceps and who are unable to train them due to functional disability.

Candidates : 

1. Ideal or near ideal BMI 
2. Patients upto 20% body fat
3. Minimal to no skin laxity
4. Good muscle tone
5. Following a vigorous exercise regime
6. Realistic expectations

Note : An ideal candidate must be motivated to pursue a strict exercise regime and a healthy diet to achieve optimal results and maintain them.

Why Dr. Ganatra for high definition liposuction in UAE?

“Human body is the most fascinating piece of art” he says. Also known by his patients as Dr.Bod, he is known to create beach bodies for patients from all around the globe. He is one of the few surgeons who delivers natural looking athletic results in both men and women. Being a natural bodybuilder himself, he customizes his surgical plan for each individual. 

An arm lift is the surgical procedure to remove  excess skin from the arm. This is combined with removal of fat (liposuction) from the arms to give the patients a slimmer and youthful appearance. 

Dr. Ganatra highlights the muscle definition in selected candidates labelling it as his signature high definition arm lift.

This procedure is usually done in patients who have lost a lot of weight or those who have excess fat in the arms making them prone to having loose skin after liposuction.

A short scar arm lift or short scar Brachyplasty involves a scar in the axilla / armpits and helps in removing some amount of excess skin from the arms.

An extended Brachyplasty involves incision which is extended along the arm down to the body to include loose skin and fat that might be just along the side of the chest wall. Loose skin in that area is common in massive weight loss patients. 

Benefits of arm lift

• Removal of excess skin and fat.
• Enhancement of muscle tone and shape of the arms.

How does he do it?

It is a 2 step process involving :

1. Liposuction of desired areas (as per the principles of slim down/high definition liposuction)
2. Removing the excess skin

Candidates : 

1. BMI < 40
2. Patients upto 40% body fat
3. Moderate to severe skin laxity
4. Realistic expectations

Note : A classical arm lift involves an incision from the arm pit to the elbow and can treat loose skin in the entire arm.

A mini arm lift (or a short scar arm lift) involves scar only in the arm pit region. If the excess hanging skin is located close to the armpit, the doctor may be able to pull up and tuck this excess skin into the armpit. The short scar is a great option for some (but not all) patients and Dr. Ganatra makes sure he explains the patients about both the procedures and their pros and cons.
