Some patients feel slightly unsatisfied
with their body line even after liposuction.
This can be due to factors such as muscle mass
or skin elasticity, which may require
adjustment of the suction volume.
However, dissatisfaction often results
from a lack of consideration for overall body balance
and harmony during the procedure.
In the case of arm liposuction,
because the arms have a wide range of motion
and are highly visible,
a precise surgical plan is particularly important.
To achieve a truly balanced result,
it’s essential to consider not only the front and back of the arms,
but also the accessory breast, armpit, scapular area,
and bra line,
ensuring a smooth upper body contour.
Let’s take a closer look at a revision case
that improved unsatisfactory results
after a previous arm liposuction surgery.
[Patient Information]
Age: Early 30s
Occupation: Office worker
Height: 156 cm
Weight: 60 kg
BMI: 25
Even with similar body specifications,
results may vary depending on individual conditions.
This patient had undergone a previous arm liposuction,
but still had noticeable fat around the back of the arms,
accessory breast, armpit, and scapular area,
leaving the upper body silhouette uneven.
The bulging back-arm fat made her arms appear
unnaturally outward even when relaxed,
and wearing sleeveless or short-sleeved tops
caused constant self-consciousness —
a major source of stress.
Upon examination,
the inner arm had been somewhat refined from the first surgery,
but the back and outer arm areas were barely suctioned,
creating an imbalance across the entire arm.
In addition, the accessory breast fat disrupted
the smooth connection between the arm and torso.
Despite consistent exercise and body management,
the unsatisfactory results of her first liposuction
left her arm lines uneven,
leading her to decide on revision surgery
to restore a clean and balanced contour.
The patient had a slender bone structure and low muscle mass,
making her an ideal candidate expected to show excellent results from surgery.
In her previous arm liposuction,
only the inner arm fat had been targeted,
while fat on the back and outer arms remained.
In addition, the accessory breast, armpit, scapular,
and bra line areas were not included in the original surgical plan,
which explains why the result appeared incomplete
and the arm contour lacked refinement.
For this revision liposuction,
the surgical range was expanded to include the back and outer arms,
as well as the armpit, accessory breast, scapular,
and bra line regions,
to achieve overall upper body balance and harmony.
The incision sites from the previous surgery were reused,
ensuring that no additional scars were created.
Before the arm liposuction revision,
excess fat around the back of the arms, armpits,
and accessory breast area caused the arms to bulge outward
even when relaxed,
and noticeable fat protruded beside the undergarment line.
After the revision surgery,
the previously bulging arm fat was evenly refined,
creating a smoother transition between the arms and torso,
while making the upper body appear narrower and more sculpted.
In particular, correcting the imbalance between
the inner and outer arm lines reduced the overall thickness,
giving the arms a longer and more elegant appearance.
Before the arm liposuction revision,
the arms and shoulders formed a rounded contour,
making the overall upper body appear larger and bulkier.
After the revision surgery,
the back-arm bulge and armpit fat were refined,
allowing the arms to naturally align closer to the torso.
This created a more defined shoulder angle
and made the entire upper body appear noticeably slimmer and sharper.
This is the side view comparison before and after
the arm liposuction revision.
Before surgery, the front and back arm fat created bulging curves,
making the upper body line appear angular
and reducing the visible width of the torso.
At two months after revision,
the remaining arm fat was smoothly refined,
and the armpit volume decreased,
eliminating the uneven bulge that had previously protruded outward.
The arms were reshaped into a straight, slim contour,
making the torso appear longer and leaner,
and enhancing the overall upper body proportion.
Through this revision liposuction,
the patient successfully achieved a balanced
and refined upper body silhouette,
completing the proportion
that the first surgery had not fully accomplished.
As seen in the selfie photos the patient provided
one month after arm liposuction revision,
the overall upper body volume noticeably decreased,
and the arms transformed into a natural, refined contour.
The back arm fat, which had been the biggest concern
after the first unsatisfactory surgery,
was completely smoothed out,
creating a visibly more balanced silhouette.
The patient expressed great satisfaction, saying
it finally felt like a “real surgery result,”
as the newly sculpted upper body line
looked dramatically improved.
Because the initial liposuction did not bring
the expected results and left visible imbalance,
the revision surgery was carefully performed
to correct those issues as much as possible.
As a result, the flow between the arms and torso
was harmonized, achieving not only
a slimmer circumference but also
a proportionally balanced and elegant upper body line.
