A smooth, toned arm line can dramatically enhance
how clothes fit and flow on the body.
It’s a look many women desire
and work hard to maintain.
Unfortunately, the upper arms are one of the areas
where fat accumulates easily
but is extremely difficult to lose.
Even with exercise and dieting,
it’s hard to create the refined shape you want.
When wearing a tight knit top or sleeveless outfit,
your arm line becomes clearly visible,
often affecting your overall first impression.
That’s why many women feel restricted
when choosing what to wear.
Today’s body contouring trends
go beyond physical beauty—
they’re seen as a way to restore self-confidence.
As a result, procedures like
arm liposuction are now
more commonly accepted and pursued.
However, the goal of surgery,
its realistic expectations, and your overall health
must be considered together.
When these three elements align,
that’s when you’ll see truly satisfying results.

Even with similar body specifications,
the results of liposuction surgery may vary.
In this case, we’ll introduce a patient
who underwent arm liposuction.
Looking at her preoperative photo,
you can see that although her BMI falls within normal range,
her upper arms remained thick and unrefined,
creating the impression of a larger overall frame.
This issue was a key concern for the patient,
and she visited Lesarts hoping to achieve
a slimmer, more defined arm line
through arm liposuction.
Upon examining the patient’s arm shape
before arm liposuction,
we found that the thickness of the arms
was not due to fat across the entire area,
but rather from fat concentrated in the rear underside,
also known as the “hanbok fat” zone.
This localized fat made the arms appear bulkier
even though overall fat volume was moderate.
When the patient stood in a relaxed position
with her arms down by her sides,
excess armpit fat prevented the arms
from closing fully toward the body.
This caused the outer arms to bulge outward,
making the upper body look wider than its actual frame.
In addition, there was noticeable fullness
in the accessory breast area,
which created a heavier and duller appearance
around the upper torso.
We explained that removing these localized fat areas
through liposuction could help create
a slimmer, more delicate arm silhouette.
However, this patient had lower-than-average skin elasticity,
so we could not proceed with maximum fat removal.
We informed her in advance that even with liposuction,
loose skin and minor creasing could occur
as fat is removed and the space beneath the skin is left behind.
Let’s take a look at the photos taken three months after
arm liposuction surgery to compare the results.
The patient underwent arm liposuction along with
armpit and accessory breast fat removal.
As a result, not only was the hanbok fat area improved,
but there was also a noticeable reduction in upper body width.
In particular, with the armpit and accessory breast fat removed,
both the front and back views show that the arms
no longer bulge outward,
creating a sleek, straight arm line.
This transformation helped the patient
achieve the delicate, feminine look she hoped for,
and her overall body frame appears smaller.
Additionally, from the side view,
the arm thickness has clearly decreased,
resulting in a smooth, vertical line
without any heaviness or uneven contour.
However, in this case, due to the patient’s reduced skin elasticity,
we avoided high-volume arm liposuction.
Instead, we focused on sculpting the arm line
to enhance her natural proportions,
removing the hanbok fat while creating arms
that appear longer and slimmer,
which led to a high level of satisfaction.
In the 4-month selfie the patient provided,
you can already see a clear slim-arm effect,
with arms that look lean and refined.
We advised her to continue with skin tightening care
and hydration routines at home
to help maintain and even improve
the final outcome over time.
