Even after reaching a desired weight through dieting,
many people continue to struggle with stubborn fat
that lingers in specific areas.
During liposuction consultations,
we’ve found that many patients feel stressed
about bulging arm fat and accessory breast fat,
which are particularly resistant to diet or exercise.
These bulges, whether visible or not,
can ruin the overall look of an outfit
and create a heavier, less defined appearance.
Because these areas are in the upper body,
they naturally draw attention and affect impressions.
When fat accumulates in the upper arms,
it often spreads toward the armpits and accessory breast,
pushing outward and making the upper body
look broader than it actually is.
Many patients wonder why fat gathers in the armpits.
This is largely because the armpit muscles are underused,
making the area more prone to fat buildup.
There’s also some confusion about accessory breast fat.
Some think it’s just fat pushed up from the armpit,
but it can actually be fat deposits
or developed mammary tissue in the chest wall.
Although not a disease requiring treatment,
accessory breast tissue can be removed preventatively
if it includes mammary glands or causes aesthetic concern.
It’s now a common site for surgery
performed together with arm liposuction.
The patient we’re reviewing today
visited Lesarts due to prominent upper arm
and accessory breast fat that was causing her stress.
Through arm and accessory breast liposuction,
she achieved a smooth, slim arm contour,
as shown in the before-and-after images below.
[Patient Information]
Age: Mid-30s
Occupation: Office worker
Height: 165cm
Weight: 55kg
BMI: 20
Results may vary, even for patients
with similar body specs.
According to her body type analysis,
the patient had a sufficient amount of fat
throughout her upper body.
In particular, the lower upper arms and the back side
(under-bra bulge area) had a high concentration of fat,
which indicated that arm liposuction
would produce a strong visible result.
In addition, the accessory breast and armpit areas,
which form the connection between the arms and torso,
also contained a notable amount of fat.
We expected that combining these areas in surgery
would result in a slimmer, more delicate arm shape.
In the patient’s case,
she had mild anemia as a preexisting condition.
This required preoperative attention
to ensure her condition would not impact the procedure.
We therefore proposed the following
arm liposuction surgery plan:
1.Perform arm liposuction, along with
accessory breast and armpit fat removal,
to achieve a slender, feminine arm shape
with a smooth, straight contour across the upper body.
2.Conduct a thorough pre-surgical health check,
and provide guidance to help the patient
manage her anemia levels so that the procedure
could proceed safely and without complications.
Below is a comparison photo
taken before the procedure and
again 3 months after arm and accessory breast liposuction.

This patient underwent arm liposuction
and accessory breast liposuction
with the goal of reducing overall arm size
and minimizing the bulging, outward shape
that made the upper body appear wider.
In addition, the fat in the accessory breast area
had created a tight, compressed feeling
in the upper torso.
The procedure aimed to restore a sense of openness
while sculpting a smooth, straight arm line
with a slim, feminine silhouette.
As seen in the photos taken from various angles,
the combination of arm and accessory breast fat removal
eliminated the heaviness that made her upper body look larger
compared to her weight.
The result was a more balanced and refined proportion.
She now has a slim, 11-shaped arm contour
that gives off a soft, delicate look.
She shared that her confidence improved,
as her arms look beautiful in any outfit she wears.
The selfie comparison photos
personally taken and sent by the patient
clearly show the transformation from
thick, curved upper arms
to a sleek and straight arm silhouette.
In both the front and side views,
the width of the upper body appears reduced,
and the arms show a delicate, straight shape
that enhances a more feminine appearance.
Although the patient had an overall slim frame,
the fat concentrated in her arms and accessory breast area
disrupted her upper body balance
and gave a somewhat heavy impression.
After arm liposuction, this imbalance was corrected.
Thanks to her commitment to postoperative care
and keeping weight gain under control,
she has been healing stably and beautifully.
If she continues maintaining her routine—
with a proper diet and exercise regimen—
the results are expected to remain satisfying
and long-lasting.
