If you consistently maintain
a firm, well-trained physique,
you may assume
liposuction surgery
is not relevant to you.
However, in real consultations,
many patients share concerns
about localized fat
that cannot be fully refined
through exercise or massage alone.
Especially in the arms,
even a small amount
of stubborn fat
can make the upper body
appear broader and heavier.
In this post,
we will review a case
of arm and upper body liposuction
in a patient
who managed weight well through exercise,
but remained concerned about
posterior arm fat,
back fat, flank fullness,
and lower abdominal volume.
[Patient Information]
Age: Late 30s
Height: 160 cm
Weight: 50 kg
BMI: 20
Even with similar body specifications,
liposuction surgery results may vary by individual.
At the time of consultation,
the patient maintained
a well-developed musculature
and relatively low body fat percentage
through consistent exercise.
However, she expressed concern
that posterior arm fat,
the scapular area,
and the bra line region
prevented her from achieving
the slim appearance she desired.
Because her triceps were well developed,
the posterior arm line
did not appear smoothly contoured
when her arms were lowered.
In addition, refinement of
the back-to-flank connection
and the lower abdominal line
was expected to create
a more balanced
and harmonized overall silhouette.
Through photos taken 2 weeks after surgery,
we can observe the changes
following arm liposuction
combined with flank and lower abdominal liposuction.
Fat that could not be fully refined
through exercise alone—
including the posterior arm (bra bulge area),
the area beneath the scapula,
the flanks, and the lower abdomen—
was removed simultaneously,
correcting the previously heavy
and congested upper body contour.
In the front view,
reduction of the outward bulging
outer upper arm fat
visibly narrowed the torso width.
With decreased inner arm fat
and flank volume,
space between the arms and torso
became more defined,
creating a slimmer,
more feminine silhouette.
Notably,
the flank line now curves inward,
enhancing overall upper body proportion
and restoring balanced definition.
From the back view,
the overall upper body
appears noticeably lighter.
With reduced arm circumference
and refined waist and back lines,
the previously thick-looking waist—
which lacked definition—
now shows a slimmer contour.
These photos were taken
2 weeks after arm, flank,
and lower abdominal liposuction,
a period when swelling
is still significant.
Even in this early stage of recovery,
the arm silhouette appears
longer and lighter,
and the entire upper body
looks more streamlined
and balanced.
From the side view,
the posterior arm volume
has noticeably decreased.
The line from the shoulder
to the arm now appears
straighter and cleaner.
The previously wide-spread thickness
on both sides has been reduced,
creating a more elongated
and proportionally refined silhouette.
At 1 month after arm liposuction,
the patient shared photos
wearing a sleeveless top.
Compared to before surgery,
the arm thickness
has noticeably decreased,
creating a slimmer
and lighter overall impression.
At this stage,
after arm, flank, and lower abdominal liposuction,
swelling, bruising, and BioBond firmness
are gradually subsiding.
Because the patient
had consistently exercised preoperatively,
her recovery has been smooth,
and the contour
is settling in a stable manner.
With continued use of
compression garments,
light cardio exercise,
and stretching,
an even more refined
upper body silhouette
is expected to be maintained.
