Liposuction surgery is a procedure that removes
unnecessary fat that disrupts the body’s natural contours.
However, before surgery, it is very important
to carefully plan the surgery’s scope and approach
by comprehensively considering the patient’s
health status and body shape conditions.
For satisfactory results, it is just as important
to adjust the size of key areas
as it is to control the amount of fat removed.
Especially for the upper body, which attracts much attention
and shows subtle movements,
an approach that refines the line flow is necessary.

Even with similar specs, results may vary between patients.
The patient undergoing arm liposuction surgery today
has maintained her weight through consistent exercise,
but stubborn fat on the back of her arms
and next to the armpits made her upper body
appear wide and heavy, which was her main concern.
Since it is not easy to change the body line
by simply losing fat in the desired area,
she decided to have liposuction surgery
and visited our clinic for a reliable solution.
At her first visit, she also considered abdominal liposuction
for overall upper body contour improvement,
but low blood pressure was diagnosed,
making it difficult to combine abdominal surgery at this time.
We advised that focusing on the arm fat,
which was her main concern,
would reduce recovery burden
and increase overall satisfaction.
Taking these factors fully into account,
she decided on liposuction surgery
to effectively improve the upper body line
by removing fat from the arms, armpits,
and accessory breast fat areas.
Looking at the patient’s body shape before arm liposuction,
fat was concentrated on the back of the arms (bra bulge),
which created a noticeable bulge
when the arms were lowered.
The arm line appeared blunt,
giving the upper body a rounded shape.
Additionally, armpit fat remained,
blurring the boundary between the arms and torso.
The volume extended to the accessory breast area,
making the upper body look larger.
Since the patient’s skin elasticity and muscle tone
were in good condition,
a delicate liposuction design focusing only on fat removal
was expected to significantly improve the body contour.
Therefore, the surgery plan focused on removing fat from the entire arms,
along with the armpits and accessory breast areas,
to create a slimmer connection between the arms and torso.
Below are comparison photos taken 5 months after
arm, armpit, and accessory breast liposuction,
showing the upper body line transformation.
This surgery focused on removing fat concentrated
in the arms, armpits, and accessory breast areas,
refining the upper body line to appear
more streamlined and lighter.
The volume at the back of the arms was reduced
without excess,
allowing the arm line to fall naturally.
The side line connecting to the armpits
was also sculpted.
When the arms were lowered,
the bulky and rounded silhouette spreading sideways
was noticeably improved.
Additionally, the accessory breast fat
disappeared cleanly from both the front and side views,
resulting in a smoother and more refined
upper body silhouette.
Since these three areas form a continuous flow,
harmoniously shaping them
within the overall upper body proportion
is a key point in arm liposuction.
After surgery, the patient experienced less visual bulkiness
even when wearing fitted tops,
showcasing a completed slim upper body line.
We will compare the before and after
of the arm liposuction surgery
through selfies taken by the patient
on the day of the surgery.
The overall bulky arm line and volume around the armpits
were refined,
creating a natural flow connecting the arms
to the upper body.
The upper body appears much slimmer and more refined.
The surgery targeted the safest and most ideal areas
for the best results,
resulting in a natural change in the arm line
and smooth connection flow.
Recovery progressed steadily,
and the patient is satisfied with the removal of stubborn arm fat.
She continues to maintain her results
with ongoing care efforts.
