“Does arm liposuction leave scars?”
I am a 37 year old female. I want to know if arm liposuction leaves scars?

If it’s only liposuction you should only have 3-4 small (<cm) scars.
Liposuction is completed through a small stab incision the size of a pencil eraser. These scars are often so small that they appear hidden to observers. Talk to your local plastic surgeon.
Thank you for the question.
Liposuction is a procedure in which small cannulas are used either to create vacuum, or with ultrasound, to remove and remodel the fat from a certain area of the body. These cannulas are introduced through small incisions placed in strategic areas, that they may be inapparent once they heal. This is a topic to discuss with the professional of your election, to perform this procedure.
Good luck!

Arm liposuction leaves very minimal not readily visible marks
The only scars are where the liposuction cannula is introduced into the arm to do the lipo suction. This is 1/2 inch and at least two per arm. This is dependent on an experienced doctor.
Typically two small 4mm stab incisions are used to perform arm liposuction.
Minimal
Hi. When properly done, other than the tiny liposuction stab incisions strategically concealed, there should be no scarring from liposuction to the arms, or any area for that matter.
