After childbirth, postnatal dieting
is one of the key challenges many women face once recovery ends.
These days, weight loss alone is no longer the goal —
more people now focus on refining details such as
the inner arms, armpit fat, and accessory breast area,
which may not be noticeable to others
but remain significant personal concerns.
In this post, we’ll look at the case of a patient
who had lost some weight after childbirth
but continued to struggle with upper body bulges —
specifically around the arms, armpits, accessory breast, and scapular area —
and explore how arm liposuction helped reshape her contour.
[Patient Information]

Results may vary depending on individual body type.
The patient had been dieting for about five months after childbirth,
but despite her effort, fat remained on the inner arms,
accessory breast area, armpits, and scapular line,
leaving her upper body silhouette uneven.
She was especially concerned about
the bulging fat on the back of her arms,
which made her arms appear shorter
and gave her body a broader side profile —
a detail that had become her biggest insecurity.
During the preoperative consultation for arm liposuction,
it was confirmed that fat was widely distributed
across the back of the arms, armpits, accessory breast,
and scapular areas,
with a slight decrease in skin elasticity also observed.
Although the inner arms didn’t show heavy fat accumulation,
the arms did not fall smoothly when relaxed,
and the arm line lacked a continuous flow,
appearing to bend or break in the middle.
Additionally, armpit and accessory breast fat
blurred the connection between the arms and torso,
creating a noticeable bulging volume near the underarm area.
The patient had a developed deltoid body type,
causing the upper back bulge (posterior fold)
to overlap upward and appear more projected.
Because the fat tissue contained fibrous density,
it felt firm to the touch and contributed to
a bulky-looking shoulder and upper arm contour.
As a result, the upper arms and shoulders lacked definition,
making the upper body appear broader than it actually was.
Accordingly, the liposuction design covered not only
the inner and back arms as the base area
but also extended across the posterior armpit, accessory breast,
and scapular line,
creating a natural flow throughout the upper body silhouette.
By carefully adjusting suction depth for each region —
considering fat thickness, skin elasticity,
and the natural curves beneath the deltoid muscle —
the surgery was planned to enhance arm length and
achieve a more balanced upper-body proportion.
Through the following before-and-after comparison photos,
we’ll examine how the arm, accessory breast, armpit, and scapular liposuction
transformed the patient’s upper-body contour one year after surgery.
Before surgery, fat remained along the
inner arms, armpits, and accessory breast line,
creating a widened upper body silhouette.
When the arms were lowered,
the side contour did not fall smoothly —
resulting in a broad and heavy upper-body appearance.
However, one year after arm liposuction,
the inner arm fat was reduced, and the back-arm bulge, armpit,
and accessory breast volume were naturally refined,
making the upper body appear slimmer and the arms longer.
Before arm liposuction, fat extended broadly
from the back of the arms down to the underarm area,
continuing toward the scapular region —
creating a heavy and unrefined upper-body silhouette.
Even after consistent postpartum dieting,
the patient reported that these areas showed little improvement.
The connection between the arms and torso appeared interrupted,
causing the arms to look shorter from the back view.
However, one year after arm liposuction,
the entire upper arm slimmed down,
and the overall upper-body flow became noticeably lighter and more natural,
enhancing balance and line definition from every angle.
As the excess fat around the upper arms was refined,
the arms that once looked short and bulky
became smoother and more elongated.
With more space between the arms and torso,
the upper body took on a lighter, slimmer silhouette.
In particular, the removal of fat from the
accessory breast, armpit, and scapular areas
made the arms appear even longer,
and the line connecting the shoulders to the arms
became naturally defined and elegant.
Even one year after arm liposuction,
the refined contour remains stable and balanced,
and the patient reported a noticeable difference
in clothing fit and posture balance
after childbirth.
Since the patient desired a natural, proportionate look
rather than an excessively thin one,
the entire process — from surgical design
to postoperative care — was customized
to preserve a smooth, harmonious body flow.
Given her reduced skin elasticity after childbirth
and developed deltoid muscles,
precise control of liposuction depth and range
was crucial to achieve a natural, fluid contour.
After the surgery, radiofrequency treatments
and balancing injections were applied
to maintain stability in the posterior arm line,
helping the arm contour settle beautifully
and remain consistently smooth.
This case shows how Lesarts Plastic Surgery
helped a postpartum patient refine stubborn arm fat
into a natural, balanced, and elegant shape,
achieving both comfort and long-lasting satisfaction.
