Liposuction is a procedure
that removes fat cells located between the skin and muscle,
using a cannula inserted through a minimal skin incision.
The cannula vibrates and moves repeatedly
to break down and suction out fat.
Even though the incision is small,
many patients are concerned
about the possibility of scars remaining after surgery—
especially the risk of keloid-like scarring
that may last longer than expected.
Choosing the right medical facility
is key to minimizing scar concerns
after liposuction surgery.
A hospital-grade clinic equipped with
advanced medical devices and a structured aftercare system
can help reduce post-operative pain
and shorten recovery time.
More importantly, skilled and meticulous surgeons
can minimize tissue damage during the procedure—
which plays a major role in achieving smoother healing
with less scarring.

This patient,
162cm tall and weighing 56kg,
had gained about 6kg over the past 6 months.
The excess fat accumulated
mainly in her upper arms,
causing her a great deal of stress.
Though she considered losing the weight through exercise,
she eventually decided on surgery
and visited our clinic.
Her goal with arm liposuction
was to achieve a slim and lean arm line.
In this patient’s case,
she initially wanted to have only the back arm bulge treated,
due to budget considerations.
However, for a more balanced upper body
and a well-contoured arm line,
we recommended including armpit and accessory breast liposuction as well.
After understanding how this approach
could improve the overall shape of her arms,
the patient agreed to proceed with
arm liposuction, armpit fat removal,
and accessory breast (axillary) liposuction.

efore the procedure,
the patient informed us that she has keloid-prone skin.
Being aware of her sensitivity
regarding scars and incision sites,
we took extra care to minimize any visible scarring.
We also provided thorough instructions
on how to care for the incision after surgery,
along with a structured recovery and follow-up system
to help ease any anxiety.
Additionally, we assured the patient
that we would closely monitor the healing process
and provide any further treatments if needed—
ensuring full support every step of the way.

[ Treatment Date: November 10 / Progress Check: March 30 ]
[2 Weeks Post-Op Arm Liposuction / Treatment Date: November 10]
After surgery,
our main focus was caring for the incision site.
At the 2-week mark,
you can still see some bruising and swelling,
as well as visible redness and scarring around the treated area.
Before suture removal,
it’s crucial to prevent infection or irritation.
That’s why we provide a recovery kit,
which includes disinfectant sticks.
Patients must use these once daily
to clean the incision site on their own—
this step is essential for safe healing.
[3 Months Post-Op Arm Liposuction / Progress Date: February 2]
In the 3-month progress photos,
you can see that the outer arm,
which had a rounded shape before surgery,
now appears smoother and straighter
thanks to arm liposuction.
To improve the appearance of surgical scars,
we provided Fraxel laser treatments,
which help with scar texture.
We also performed toning laser sessions
to reduce pigmentation around the incision site,
supporting better overall healing.
[5 Months Post-Op Arm Liposuction / Progress Date: March 30]
In the final result,
the previously curved arm line
had transformed into the straight, slim shape
the patient had hoped for.
The patient was also relieved to see
that the post-liposuction scars had healed well,
with no signs of irritation or complications.
The incision sites were barely visible.
In cases where scar pigmentation becomes darker,
it may take up to a year to fade.
For faster and better healing,
we recommend applying scar cream consistently
from the early stages after surgery,
and visiting the clinic for professional aftercare.
If you’re concerned about scarring or aftercare
following liposuction surgery,
it’s perfectly okay to take your time.
Having a thorough consultation
with an experienced and skilled medical team
can help ease your worries
and lead to a more confident decision.
Liposuction doesn’t need to be rushed—
what matters most is that you feel fully informed and ready.
