Arm Liposuction (Body Jet)

Inner-arm fat ('bingo wings') that persists despite weight loss responds well to Body Jet water-jet liposuction at Klinika Kasiopea. The treatment targets the subcutaneous fat layer of the upper arms under local anaesthesia, removing fat permanently through tiny 2–3 mm access points that require no sutures. Because Body Jet's pulsed water stream is gentler on tissue than mechanical liposuction, bruising and swelling are minimal and patients can return to desk work within two to three days. Compression sleeves are worn post-procedure to support the skin as it contracts to the new arm contour, with final results visible at three to six months.

Arm liposuction at Klinika Kasiopea addresses inner and outer upper arm fat deposits using the Body Jet water-jet-assisted liposuction system — the same technology used for abdominal, hip and thigh procedures at the clinic. The arm anatomy requires particular precision because the skin in this region is thinner than the abdomen, and uniform fat removal is essential to prevent surface irregularities. The procedure begins with the arms marked in the standing position to identify the precise fat compartments to be treated — typically the posterior and inferior surfaces of the upper arm where fat accumulates most stubbornly. Tumescent solution is infiltrated to swell and firm the tissue, making fat extraction more controlled. The Body Jet cannula enters through two to three small access points; no incisions are needed and no sutures are placed. Gentle pulsed water dislodges fat cells, which are aspirated simultaneously. The surgeon works in a crosshatched pattern to ensure smooth, even results. Total procedure time is 60–90 minutes for both arms. Post-operative management emphasises lymphatic drainage. Compression sleeves are worn continuously for the first two weeks, then intermittently for a further four to six weeks as residual oedema resolves. The clinic recommends Wobenzym (an oral enzyme preparation) to accelerate lymphatic clearance and warm compresses combined with manual lymphatic massage starting at week two. Dressings are removed and the access points checked at seven to nine days post-procedure. Light activities can be resumed from day two or three. Raising the arms above shoulder height, carrying loads greater than three kilograms and vigorous upper-body exercise are restricted for four weeks. Swimming, saunas and sunbathing over the treated area are avoided for six weeks to allow the skin to stabilise. Final arm contour is established at three to six months. In patients with good skin elasticity — typically those under 45 — the skin contracts smoothly to the new profile without additional intervention. Patients with marked skin laxity may require a separate arm lift (brachioplasty) procedure, which the clinic can discuss at consultation. Ideal candidates include women and men of any age with inner-arm fat that is disproportionate to overall body weight, or those who have lost significant weight and are left with localised arm deposits. The treatment is suitable for all age groups and does not require any pre-operative laboratory work for otherwise healthy patients.
