Arms have a strong visual presence
because they’re directly connected to the face and shoulders,
naturally drawing the viewer’s gaze.
Even if the abdomen or thighs are slim,
thick upper arms can make the body look larger,
less refined, and even older than one’s actual age.
That’s why many people are concerned about arm fat.
The biggest challenge of arm slimming
is that massages, diet, or stretching
rarely deliver visible results
or the defined line most people hope for.
This makes many turn to arm liposuction.
Interestingly, most arm liposuction patients
don’t just struggle with upper arms alone.
Many cases involve additional issues
like axillary fat or accessory breast tissue,
making a more comprehensive surgical approach necessary.
Today’s patient had tried steady dieting,
but was still struggling with stubborn upper arms,
along with fat around the armpits and side chest.
To address this complex concern,
she eventually chose surgical fat removal.
She hoped to achieve delicate, right-angled shoulders
and straight-line arms through liposuction.
Let’s now take a look at the before-and-after photos
to see how much her arm shape improved.
[Patient Information]
Age: Mid-20s
Occupation: Office worker
Height: 161cm
Weight: 58kg
BMI: 22
Please note that results may vary
even among patients with similar body types.
Before surgery, she had gained around 7kg,
and despite consistent workouts,
she couldn’t reduce her thick arm fat,
which had become a major stress point.
Based on her body type analysis,
we found that despite repeated dieting and rebound cycles,
her skin elasticity and muscle mass were well-maintained,
and she had a substantial amount of fat in her arms.
In addition, the axillary area and accessory breast fat,
where the arms connect to the torso,
also contained a notable amount of fat that required liposuction.
It was also confirmed that her fat tissue
was fibrotic in nature,
indicating progressed fibrosis in the area.
We therefore proposed the following
arm liposuction surgery plan for the patient:
1.Arm liposuction, along with removal of axillary fat
and accessory breast fat,
to reduce upper body volume and
create a slim, right-angled shoulder line
with straight, refined arms.
2.Since her fat was fibrotic,
we recommended consistent use of compression garments
post-surgery to both reduce and prevent cellulite.
3.Due to her orthostatic hypotension,
we advised her to take iron supplements regularly
before surgery to help maintain her condition
and avoid physical strain from the procedure.
Below is a comparison photo
taken before the arm liposuction and
again at the 3-month mark after surgery.
[Surgical Areas and Fat Volume]
Surgical Areas: Arms, Accessory Breast, Armpit
Fat Volume Removed: 1,500cc
This patient underwent arm liposuction,
including accessory breast and armpit fat removal,
to reduce upper body volume
and create a slim, right-angled shoulder line
with straight, elegant arms.
As seen in the pre-op photos
taken from multiple angles,
if the procedure had targeted only the upper arms,
there wouldn’t have been enough space
to bring the arms inward,
which would have limited the result
in achieving right-angled shoulders.
Moreover, if armpit and accessory breast fat
are not addressed together,
they can push outward against the upper arms,
interfering with the intended slim silhouette
and making the arms appear heavier and bulkier.
That’s why combined liposuction
of the arms, accessory breast, and armpits
is highly recommended for synergy.
In this case, the patient achieved the straight-line arm contour
she had hoped for, with all excess fat clearly removed.
The selfie comparison photos taken by the patient
after arm liposuction clearly show that the once
bulging, rounded upper arms
were transformed into a slender, straight-arm shape
with a delicate, right-angled shoulder line.
Both the front and side views of the arms
became noticeably slimmer and more defined.
However, since she had experienced repeated dieting
before surgery, her fat was fibrotic,
making postoperative care essential
for smooth healing and maintaining refined arm lines.
We strongly recommended
consistent use of compression garments,
along with proper hydration, stretching,
and a well-managed diet
to support a stable and aesthetic recovery.
