Liposuction directly removes stubborn fat
from problem areas, often delivering
dramatic body contouring results in a single session.
It visibly reduces localized fat and size,
making it one of the most satisfying
body reshaping procedures available today.
When performed for body contouring,
liposuction targets the subcutaneous fat layer.
Even if abdominal obesity is improved,
achieving higher satisfaction after surgery
requires continued effort through exercise and diet.
Before liposuction, it’s important to avoid
bad habits like binge or overeating.
Focus on healthy habits such as
daily 30-minute workouts,
and consuming vegetables and lean protein regularly.
If you’re considering liposuction,
it’s essential to assess several factors:
the amount of fat and muscle, skin elasticity,
fat distribution, and the specific goals of surgery.
A thorough consultation and analysis
should come before deciding to proceed.
The patient is 173cm tall and weighs 69kg,
with a BMI of 23.2. Although she had tried
restrictive dieting, it often led to binge eating,
which ultimately caused her weight to increase.
Struggling with diet control, she began looking for
a more immediate way to eliminate accumulated fat,
and decided to undergo upper body liposuction.
After comparing multiple liposuction clinics,
she carefully reviewed factors such as:
a systematic safety and post-op care system,
dramatic before-and-after photos,
clinic reputation, and medical teams
with expertise in precise fat removal techniques.
She concluded that our clinic matched
her expectations for a professional liposuction center,
and visited us for upper body contouring surgery.
During consultation, she inquired whether
removing fat from both the arms and abdomen
in a single session would result in
a slimmer, well-balanced upper body silhouette.
Based on the body consultation,
the patient was identified as having a
fat-dominant body type, with more fat mass
than muscle. This indicated that
upper body liposuction would likely yield
great improvements in both volume and size.
To achieve the slim arm line she desired,
we evaluated not only the upper arms
but also the surrounding areas—
including the accessory breast and armpit zones.
In the case of the accessory breast,
there was not enough fat to be removed,
so it was not considered suitable
for surgery alongside the arms.
As for the armpit area,
due to the patient’s family history of breast cancer,
we explained that performing liposuction there
could be difficult or inadvisable.
Therefore, we recommended a surgical design
focused solely on the upper arms,
without including the connecting regions,
to help her achieve a slimmer upper body silhouette
through arm liposuction alone.
For the patient’s other area of concern—the abdomen—
her waistline was already well-defined before surgery,
so we anticipated a dramatic improvement
through abdominal liposuction.
However, due to her irregular eating habits,
the accumulation of visceral fat had caused
the abdominal wall to push outward.
We explained that even after liposuction,
the front abdomen might still appear uneven
because of this internal pressure.
After upper body liposuction, we emphasized the need
to wear compression garments consistently
for at least three months,
to prevent sagging of the empty spaces
and help shape a slimmer waistline.
Because a large amount of fat was expected
from both the arms and abdomen,
we recommended a surgical fitness evaluation
to thoroughly check her health condition.
We also advised taking iron supplements pre-op
to prevent a drop in hemoglobin levels
and reduce the risk of post-op anemia.
As a result of her arm and abdominal liposuction,
a total of 6,600cc of fat was successfully removed.
3-month result after upper body liposuction
Surgery: April 6 / Follow-up: July 6
A body type with excess fat in the upper arms
can make you appear bulkier and give off
a heavier or less agile impression than you actually are.
However, in the 3-month follow-up
after upper body liposuction, you can clearly see
the transformation into the slimmer arm and waistline
the patient had hoped for—now in perfect balance.
In this case, the arms had significant fat volume,
yet without suctioning the surrounding areas,
we were still able to achieve a noticeable improvement
with a visibly slim and defined arm line.
As for the abdomen, the patient already had
a defined waistline prior to surgery.
Through carefully planned upper body liposuction,
we enhanced that curve even further into
a more cinched and balanced silhouette.
Due to concerns about skin laxity,
we strongly recommended wearing
compression garments consistently
for more than three months,
along with regular skin hydration
to prevent dryness and sagging.
Lastly, we explained that the protruding abdomen,
caused by visceral fat, is not easily improved
through liposuction alone.
Postoperative care, including lifestyle adjustments,
can lead to improvements in this area over time.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle through a
sustainable diet and structured routine
is key to preserving and enhancing the results.
