Once the anesthesia has taken the effect the surgeon will make an incision on the previously marked indications on the arm. The length of the incision is made depending on the amount of excess skin. The pattern of the incision will also vary with the same. Incisions are made inside the arm and at the back of the arm and can extend up to the elbow. The fat is then removed using a direct method or liposuction.

The type of incision is very important and they depend on the specific condition. Sometimes only the minimal incisions are needed under the underarm area when only little shaping is needed.
