Top 3 outfits patients want to wear after arm liposuction, Lesarts Plastic Surgery

1. Sleeveless tops

2. Tube tops with exposed shoulder lines

3. Fitted ribbed knitwear

During arm liposuction consultations,
the three most frequently mentioned items
patients want to wear after surgery are
ribbed knits, sleeveless tops, and tube tops.

Even if patients feel some confidence
in their arm thickness or arm line,
these outfits are difficult to style beautifully
without proper refinement of the surrounding areas.
This includes the shoulder line, axilla,
accessory breast area, and upper back line.

When the arms, shoulders, axilla, accessory breast,
and back line
are refined together,
the overall arm balance appears more harmonious,
and the completion of contour refinement
is significantly enhanced.

For this reason, arm liposuction
is not simply about reducing arm circumference.
It is a precise contour design process
that carefully considers the connection
between the arms and the upper body
.

This patient also required a customized surgical plan
to remove localized fat in the arms and surrounding areas,
while correcting overall body proportion and balance.

Even with similar body specifications,
arm liposuction results may vary by individual.

The following characteristics were confirmed
through a detailed preoperative consultation.

-Upper body contour imbalance:
Despite an overall slim body type,
there was a clear imbalance between
the arms and surrounding upper body areas.

-Upper arm shape:
The arms flared outward in a rounded shape,
making them appear thicker than they actually were.

-Axilla and accessory breast area:
Fat accumulation where the arms connect to the torso
prevented the arms from resting neatly at the sides,
with bulging localized fat clearly visible.

-Scapular (upper back) area:
Excess fat along the upper back created thickness
in the transition from the arms to the back,
resulting in a heavier and less defined contour.

Based on these findings, the surgical plan
was designed to reduce arm circumference
while performing accessory breast, axillary,
and scapular liposuction simultaneously
,
with the goal of correcting the overall upper body flow.

In this case, the patient’s skin elasticity was limited,
so rather than aggressive fat removal,
the focus was on achieving maximum visible improvement
through smooth, natural line transitions into the arms.

We will now compare the before and after results
using photos taken 1 month after surgery.

Before arm liposuction,
the arm line appeared rounded outward,
with limited space between the waist and inner arms.
This made the upper body look
wide and visually heavy.

After arm liposuction, visible fat reduction
was achieved within just 1 month.
The line from the shoulder to the arm
became straighter, forming a clean I-shaped contour.
The space between the flanks and arms widened,
creating a noticeably slimmer upper body proportion.

As the upper arm line dropped more vertically,
the arms appeared longer overall.
The patient’s desired delicate mood
and right-angle shoulder line
also became clearly defined.

Although only 1 month has passed
since the arm liposuction procedure,
and some swelling remains,
the improved upper body balance and proportion
clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the surgery.

If the focus had been only on reducing upper arm circumference,
the transition from the axilla to the back
would have appeared uneven.
This would have made the connection
between the arms and torso
look heavy and unnatural.

By performing arm, axillary, and scapular liposuction
simultaneously, both line flow and body proportion
were refined together.
As a result, not only was circumference reduced,
but the upper body silhouette also changed
into a more delicate and slender appearance
than the actual body size.

From the side view before surgery,
the arms did not fall smoothly downward.
Instead, protruding volume created
a shorter and thicker arm appearance.

This was largely caused by excess fat
in the axillary area, pushing tissue
outward and backward.
It was determined that these areas
needed to be refined together.

As this localized fat volume was reduced,
the connection line between the arms and torso
was corrected and smoothed.
The arm contour became straighter and softer,
resulting in improved arm length appearance
and a more balanced upper body proportion.

This selfie was taken 3 weeks after surgery,
with the patient wearing a sleeveless top.
Even during the period of significant
bruising and swelling,
the contour changes are clearly visible.

The refined arm line, clean removal
of accessory breast fat, and smoothing
of the scapular (upper back) area
created a neat and stable transition
between the arms and torso.

In this case, the results went beyond
simple arm circumference reduction.
By addressing excess fat in the
accessory breast, axilla, and scapular areas,
the connected upper body line
was visibly refined and clarified.

Because the patient had limited skin elasticity,
the surgical plan focused on
necessary, goal-oriented procedures
rather than aggressive fat removal.
With continued postoperative care,
even better results than the current outcome
are expected moving forward.
