Upper arm fat is one of the most visually defining areas
that determines how heavy or light your overall body looks—
often more directly than body weight itself.
When there’s little space between the arms and torso,
the arms appear attached to the body,
making the upper body look larger and less refined.
While many people worry about arm thickness itself,
it’s equally important to pay attention to
the space between the arms and body,
as this greatly affects the overall silhouette.
When the area below the armpit loses space,
the arm overlaps with the torso line,
creating a heavier and less defined appearance.
Because of this, arm liposuction not only helps
reduce circumference but also makes
the entire upper body appear lighter and sharper.
In today’s case, the patient had a naturally slim frame
but was concerned that the back arm bulge
made her upper body look bigger.
In particular, the loss of space below the armpit
caused visible heaviness, which made
summer clothing choices difficult.

Results of liposuction may vary
even among patients with similar body types.
This patient consistently maintained her weight
and exercised regularly,
but since her upper arm fat was resistant to change,
she decided to undergo arm liposuction
for a more defined and balanced upper body.
Clinical examination revealed that the patient’s
fat distribution was mainly concentrated
in the back of the upper arms
and under the armpits.
As a result, when the arms were lowered,
the outer line of the upper body appeared uneven,
and bulges were visible through clothing,
creating a sense of imbalance.
This also made the arms appear rounder overall,
affecting the body’s outer silhouette.
Instead of performing simple upper arm liposuction,
the plan included extending the procedure
to the armpit area, adjusting the arm’s closing angle,
and clearly defining the boundary between the waistline and arm line.
The goal was to ensure that the arms
would not look overly thin,
while still achieving a slimmer and more balanced appearance
with a natural separation between the arms and torso.
At 5 months after arm and armpit liposuction,
we can clearly observe how the flow of the arms
and upper body has changed.
Before arm liposuction surgery,
the bulging upper arm fat and armpit volume
made both the inner and outer arm lines appear round,
giving the impression that the arms were
attached closely to the torso.
Most noticeably, when viewed from the front,
the upper body width appeared broader
due to this lack of separation.
At 5 months after arm liposuction,
the inner arm line now falls naturally
away from the torso,
and the overall arm shape connects smoothly
from the right-angled shoulder
into a straight, balanced arm line.
From the back view before surgery,
the fat on the back of the arms and underarm area
made the back appear wider,
while the outer arm lines spread sideways,
creating a broad and heavy impression overall.
After arm liposuction,
the upper arm and armpit fat were reduced,
smoothing the connection between the arms and back.
As space was restored along the flank line,
the back view transformed into a
cleaner and lighter silhouette.
From the side view comparison,
before surgery, the back arm volume appeared bulging,
making the arms look shorter
and creating a heavy, compressed side profile.
After arm liposuction surgery,
the lower arm curve was smoothly refined,
forming a straight, clean line
that gives the impression of longer, more elegant arms.
Even in the selfie photos taken by the patient,
the changes after arm liposuction
are clearly visible.
The outer arm bulges that once stood out
were smoothed, creating a more natural line and length
throughout the arms.
The heaviness of the upper body caused by arm fat
has disappeared, resulting in a softer and slimmer look.
The key focus of this surgery was not only to reduce arm circumference,
but to refine the space between the arms and torso
and to create a harmonious flow throughout the upper body.
Despite having a naturally slim frame,
the excess fat around the arms and armpits
had made the upper body look wider and heavier.
Through precise contour design and controlled fat reduction,
the patient achieved a natural, well-balanced silhouette.
After surgery, she continued detailed postoperative care,
leading to a stable and smooth recovery.
As time progresses, her satisfaction and results
are expected to improve even further.
