When fat becomes noticeable
in the upper body, many people
register at the gym or start
a strict salad diet
to lose weight.
However, after some time,
when trying on clothes or
taking photos, the change
may not meet expectations,
leading to frustration.
Areas like the back of the arms,
armpits, and lower abdomen
are particularly tricky—
even small bulges can disrupt
the silhouette and cause stress.
Even with focused exercise
to slim the abdomen and arms,
visible improvement is limited.
Sometimes, the result is
even more prominent bulges,
caused by excessive muscle gain.
For this reason, if endless workouts
fail to slim the upper body,
liposuction—planned with attention
to fat distribution and bodyline flow—
can become a practical solution.

Even with similar body specs,
liposuction results may vary.
This case involves an upper body
liposuction patient who struggled
with localized fat in the
lower abdomen, arms, armpits,
and accessory breast area.
Because exercise and diet alone
brought minimal improvement,
she decided to undergo
liposuction at Lesarts Plastic Surgery.
From the pre-surgery photos
and body consultation,
the patient appeared generally slim,
but lower abdomen, flanks,
back of the arms, armpits,
and accessory breast areas
showed localized fat, creating
a rounded upper body silhouette.
When the arms rested naturally,
the upper arm bulge, along with
fat around the armpits and
accessory breast, spread outward.
This blurred the boundary
between arms and torso,
making the upper body appear
wide and heavy.
From the side, the lower belly fat
protruded below the navel,
and the flank lines lacked definition,
adding to the unrefined impression.
Although her body was slim overall,
the uneven fat distribution
prevented the silhouette
from looking balanced and elegant.
Thus, the surgical design targeted
the lower abdomen and waistline
for fat reduction, while refining
the back of the arms, armpits,
and accessory breast areas.
This approach aimed to remove
upper body bulk and improve
the fit and appearance of clothing.
Below, we review the
before & after photos
taken 5 months after
arm and abdominal liposuction
to see the transformation
in the upper body line.
Before surgery, fat in the lower abdomen,
waistline, back of the arms,
and armpits created a rounded upper body.
This made the torso appear wider
than it actually was.
After upper body liposuction,
fat from the abdomen, arms, armpits,
and accessory breast areas was effectively reduced.
The slimmer bodyline became more visible,
and the narrowed waistline
gave a lighter, more refined impression.
In particular, the arm line showed
remarkable improvement. Areas once
bulky and uneven were smoothed out,
creating a natural flow and
significantly enhanced balance overall.
Through the patient’s own selfie photos,
the transformation in the abdomen
and upper body line is clearly visible.
Before surgery, excess fat concentrated
in the central abdomen created bulk,
preventing clothing from falling neatly.
The arms and torso looked heavy,
making the upper body appear
even more emphasized.
After liposuction, this bulk disappeared,
revealing a naturally refined line
that matched the skeletal frame.
The overall body flow became stable
and well-proportioned.
This surgery held great significance
in correcting localized fat areas—
points that could not be improved
through diet or exercise alone.
By reshaping the abdomen and arms,
the entire upper body balance improved.
As long as the patient maintains
daily self-care without strain,
the balanced silhouette achieved now
is expected to remain naturally refined
and long-lasting over time.
