One of the most common concerns
when considering arm liposuction
is the possibility
of visible surgical scars.
This concern is especially common
for areas like the arms,
which are frequently exposed
in daily life.
Many patients worry
that incision scars
may reveal signs
of having undergone surgery.
However, liposuction surgery
does not require
large skin incisions.
Instead, it is performed
through very small
micro-incisions of approximately 3–5 mm.
In addition,
the incision sites
are carefully selected
along natural skin crease lines
or inside the axillary area,
where visibility
is minimal.
With proper post-operative care,
these incision sites
heal gradually
and become less noticeable.
Over time,
the scars naturally fade
and blend
with the surrounding
skin tone and texture.
Although healing speed
may vary
depending on
individual skin type,
any remaining
scar pigmentation
can be improved
through laser toning treatment.

* Even with similar body conditions,
liposuction results may vary
depending on individual body characteristics.
Although the patient
had a naturally slim
body frame,
localized arm fat
remained resistant
to reduction,
leading to the decision
to undergo
arm liposuction surgery.
When the arms
were relaxed downward,
the outer arm area
showed visible
fat protrusion,
making the upper body
appear wider
than the natural
skeletal structure.
In addition,
frequent use
of the dominant arm
resulted in differences
in fat distribution
and muscle development
between both arms,
affecting overall
arm circumference
and contour balance.
Therefore, the surgical plan
focused on correcting
arm asymmetry,
while reducing
overall circumference
to create a smoother
and more balanced
arm contour line.
The incision site
was carefully placed
along the natural
crease inside
the axillary area,
to minimize
visible scarring.
Through the following
post-operative photos
after arm, accessory breast,
and axillary liposuction,
we will review
the improvements
in arm circumference reduction
and bilateral contour balance.
After arm, axillary, and accessory breast liposuction,
the outer arm volume
that was previously visible
from the front view
was noticeably reduced.
The excess arm fat
that protruded beyond
the shoulder line
was carefully refined,
and the removal
of axillary fat
allowed the arms
to rest closer
to the body naturally,
creating a smoother
and straighter
arm contour line.
In addition,
the difference
in thickness and shape
between both arms
was successfully corrected,
resulting in more balanced,
slimmer, and visually
longer arm proportions.
From the back view,
the volume
in the posterior arm area
was significantly reduced,
creating a longer
and smoother
arm contour line.
Through axillary liposuction,
the bulky appearance
around the underarm
was refined,
enhancing the overall
inner arm contour improvement.
As the excess
arm fat was removed,
the previously wide
upper body width
appeared narrower,
resulting in a visible
upper body slimming effect
and improved
overall body proportions.
At 3 months after arm liposuction,
the lateral arm contour
showed not only
a clear reduction
in overall arm thickness,
but also improvement
in the posterior arm area
that previously appeared
bulky toward
the elbow direction.
This area was refined
into a smoother,
straighter arm line,
resulting in a longer,
slimmer, and more
delicate arm contour.
Daily photos documenting
the arm liposuction recovery process
show that even
at 1 month post-surgery,
the arms had already
improved into
a slimmer, straighter
arm contour line.
By 3 months after surgery,
major swelling
and bio-bonding
had fully resolved,
revealing the natural
and refined
arm liposuction results.
The patient also reported
that the previous concerns
regarding arm asymmetry
and visible scars
were no longer noticeable,
and had entered
a stable recovery phase
through consistent
post-operative care.
To maintain
the current results,
the patient was advised
to continue proper
daily lifestyle management
to avoid weight gain.
Additionally, until
all residual swelling
fully subsides,
light massage
and gentle stretching
can help enhance
circulation
and support
a smoother, firmer
long-term arm contour outcome.
