In the past, body management
often meant obsessing over the number on the scale.
But today, many people focus on
how they look in the mirror—so-called “eye body” checks.
It’s now common to hear people say
they don’t know their exact weight,
and instead track progress through body lines
or clothing fit.
As a result, more people are choosing liposuction
to improve their body proportions
based on visual symmetry and balance.
However, when liposuction is performed
for body balancing or contouring,
it’s important not to focus solely on the troubled area.
Examining the surrounding regions thoroughly
is key to achieving a smooth, natural line.
A successful outcome also depends on analyzing
each person’s fat volume, muscle structure,
and skin elasticity in detail
to develop a customized surgical plan.

*Even with similar body specs,
the results of liposuction surgery can vary.
The patient featured in today’s
arm liposuction case review
is a bride-to-be preparing for her wedding
in six months.
She visited Lesarts Plastic Surgery
because her upper arms appeared
slightly bulky compared to her petite frame.
Her goal was to achieve slim, delicate arms
that would suit a wedding dress silhouette.
Based on the body analysis before arm liposuction,
this patient had excess fat requiring contouring
not only in the arms, but also in the armpit
and accessory breast area.
By combining arm, armpit, and accessory breast liposuction,
a visible reduction in upper body size and volume
was expected, which would enhance the fit of her wedding dress.
However, she also had reduced skin elasticity overall,
which meant that excessive liposuction
without considering arm movement and muscle shape
could lead to loose skin or wrinkles post-surgery.
Therefore, in order to create a slim and delicate arm line
that would look beautiful in a wedding dress,
we recommended a conservative fat removal plan
based on her skin condition,
rather than aiming for a large volume reduction.
Now, let’s take a look at the medical photos
taken 3 months after arm liposuction
to compare the change in arm contour.
Through arm liposuction, the excess fat
in the upper arms was smoothed out,
and the previously outward-angled arms
were refined into a more right-angled shape.
In addition, the bra bulge volume
on the back of the arms,
which the patient had been concerned about before surgery,
was visibly reduced.
We can also see a transformation
into a more straight and slim arm line
as desired by the patient.
When standing with the arms placed naturally at the sides,
the change in the bra bulge area before and after surgery
can be seen more clearly.
Due to fat accumulation in the arms,
the upper arms had previously bulged forward and backward,
making the upper body appear wider.
After liposuction, this bulky volume was refined,
and the horizontal width of the arms
was visibly reduced on both sides.
As seen in the selfie comparison photos
taken after arm liposuction,
the upper body, which previously looked broad,
appears slimmer and more feminine.
In particular, the fit of her wedding dress
shows a dramatic improvement
compared to before surgery.
Since the patient had been stressed
about exposing her arms at the wedding,
we expect her to achieve
even more beautiful results
with steady care in the weeks ahead.
