There is a saying that
arm fat is in the hands of God.
Sometimes, no matter how much
arm exercise you do,
the fat does not decrease—
and instead, thickness increases,
making the entire upper body
appear even larger.
In such cases,
it may be necessary to reconsider
the direction of improvement
based on your body type and constitution.
Recent liposuction trends
are no longer focused solely on
creating extremely thin arms,
slim legs, or a narrow waist.
Instead, greater emphasis
is placed on refining
overall body balance and proportion.
Today, we will review a case
in which upper body liposuction
was performed to refine
the arm and flank lines,
achieving a more stable
and proportionally balanced silhouette.

Even with similar body specifications,
liposuction results
may vary by individual.
The patient had been
consistently exercising
for weight management,
with well-developed upper body muscles
and an overall firm physique.
However, stubborn fat
in the posterior arm (bra bulge area)
and axillary region
did not respond to exercise,
making the upper body appear wider.
Compared to her frame,
the arms looked particularly thick.
With developed triceps muscles,
the posterior arm line
became more prominent
when the arms were lowered.
The volume in the back of the arms
contributed to increased upper body width,
and fat extending beneath the armpit
along the bra line area
created a heavier impression.
Although the imbalance
between muscle structure
and fat distribution
made the silhouette appear less refined,
overly aggressive liposuction
could have deepened skin folds.
Therefore, the surgical plan focused on
refining the overall arm–torso connection lines,
considering both skin movement
and structural balance.
In addition,
fat in the scapular area
connecting the arms to the back
was addressed through
scapular liposuction,
preventing a thick back appearance
and improving upper body proportion.
Below, through photos taken
2 months after upper body liposuction,
we will review the refined
and more balanced silhouette.
From the front view,
the volume of the upper arms
and axillary fat
bulged outward on both sides,
making the upper body appear wider.
The flank line also appeared
straight rather than curved,
giving the upper body
a broader and firmer impression.
Through arm liposuction
and flank liposuction,
we reduced overall arm thickness
and refined the line
from the shoulder to the elbow,
narrowing the upper body width.
At the same time,
the flanks were sculpted inward
to create a soft curve,
allowing more space
between the arms and torso
for a lighter, more balanced silhouette.
From the back view,
changes in torso width
and overall arm circumference
are even more noticeable.
As the posterior arm line
was smoothly refined,
the flow from the shoulder to the elbow
became straighter,
creating a visually longer arm effect.
With reduced axillary volume,
the arms now rest
more naturally against the torso,
clearly enhancing the effect
of a narrower upper body.
In addition, through flank liposuction,
the curve from the back
to the waist
was shaped more femininely.
The previously wide appearance
has transformed
into a slimmer, more balanced proportion,
with a refined and stabilized
upper body silhouette.
In the side view,
approximately 2 months after liposuction,
the thickness along the posterior arm
has noticeably decreased,
and the arm appears
naturally longer.
As overall arm volume was reduced,
more of the torso contour
is subtly revealed,
creating a lighter,
slimmer overall impression.
Even in her daily photos,
you can see that the arm circumference has decreased,
and the line has shifted into a straighter contour,
improving overall upper body proportion.
Compared to the 2-month follow-up visit,
continued recovery has allowed the arm and flank lines
to connect more naturally,
settling into a smoother and firmer silhouette.
After an appropriate recovery period,
she consistently maintained her routine exercise,
which helped the refined contour
stabilize into a toned and balanced body line.
Although she has a petite frame,
harmonizing the proportions of her arms and upper body
has created the impression of a taller,
more elongated silhouette.
As her results are being well maintained,
continued weight management and exercise
are expected to further enhance
and preserve this naturally refined outcome.
