Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Rapaport explains where and how incisions are made for arm liposuction and what patients can realistically expect during healing.
With over 30 years of experience, Dr. Rapaport walks through his precise marking technique, why incision placement matters, and how scars typically heal over time.
What he covers in this video:
- His background as a board-certified plastic surgeon in New York
- How arm liposuction incisions are carefully marked while the arm is at rest
- Placement of the main incision within the natural arm crease for minimal visibility
- When a second incision near the elbow may be needed
- Why elbow crease incisions usually fade quickly
- What scars look like in the first few weeks after surgery
- How pinkness fades over 6–12 months into a fine, hard-to-detect scar
This short video is helpful for anyone considering arm liposuction and wanting to understand scar placement and healing expectations.
