Upper arm liposuction in Korea is one of the most
popular ways to achieve slim, feminine arms
and a well-balanced upper body silhouette.
Although beauty standards differ from person to person,
most people agree on the ideal look when it comes to arms—
toned and slim arms enhance the entire body image,
especially since they are close to the face
and constantly draw attention in photos and daily life.
Recently, many individuals have chosen arm liposuction
as a fast and effective way to reduce upper arm fat,
especially when diet and exercise fall short.
However, targeting only the fat on the arms—
such as the so-called “bat wings” on the back of the arms—
may lead to unbalanced results
if other areas like the armpit, bra bulge,
or shoulder line are ignored.
To achieve a truly refined line—like the popular
“right-angle shoulder” and straight arms—
surgeons must carefully consider the patient’s
body type, fat distribution, skin thickness,
elasticity, and skeletal structure
before determining the full surgical plan.
This individualized approach leads to more natural,
elegant arm lines that flatter the upper body
and boost confidence in sleeveless clothing.

Even with similar stats,
results from liposuction may vary by individual.
This patient visited our clinic for arm liposuction
after struggling with chubby upper arms
that made her frame look bulkier than it actually was.
Her main concern was the thick appearance of her arms,
which disrupted her overall silhouette
and made her look heavier than her actual weight.
She ultimately chose to undergo upper arm fat removal surgery
at Lesarts Plastic Surgery to slim down her arms
and achieve a more balanced, defined look.
Before undergoing arm liposuction,
the patient’s body analysis showed that fat was present
not only in the upper arms,
but also in the accessory breasts near the bra line,
the armpit bulge that made the upper body look larger,
and the scapular area extending from the underarm.
There was a significant volume of fat
throughout the upper body,
so combining arm liposuction with
accessory breast, armpit, and scapular liposuction
was expected to reduce upper body size
and improve the overall contour.
Additionally, to enhance a slim arm line
with a delicate right-angle shoulder shape,
we recommended combining the procedure
with trapezius botox
for maximum synergy and more defined results.
Let’s review the patient’s results
using comparison photos taken
five months after arm liposuction surgery.
Through a combination of
arm, accessory breast, armpit, and scapular liposuction,
the patient saw a clear reduction
in overall upper body volume
with improved balance and proportion.
The arms also transformed beautifully
into the slim, straight lines
she originally hoped for,
creating a more delicate, feminine contour.
When standing naturally
with arms relaxed at the sides,
the previously bulging fat at the front and back of the arms
used to make her upper body appear larger.
But after surgery, these areas have been clearly reduced,
making her body look slimmer from all angles.
It would have been difficult
to achieve this level of transformation
with arm liposuction alone.
Thanks to the combined effect of
arm, accessory breast, armpit,
and scapular liposuction,
both arm volume and upper body width
have noticeably decreased,
bringing out a much more delicate silhouette.
With arms raised,
the slimmer upper arms and reduced fat
in the armpit area create a noticeably more feminine look
compared to before surgery.
In addition, the trapezius muscles,
which previously disrupted the shoulder line,
were treated with botox,
resulting in a smooth shoulder curve
and a refined, slim arm contour.
Selfies taken by the patient
after arm liposuction from various angles
clearly show that fat in the arms, armpits, accessory breast,
and scapular area was effectively removed,
creating a slim and balanced upper body line
that matches the patient’s proportions.
In this case, the patient’s arms
did not have prominent muscles,
and the fat density was ideal,
allowing the results to closely reflect
her preferred arm shape.
Although her initial concern was only upper arm fat,
we performed a full upper body balance diagnosis.
Rather than focusing on removing large amounts of fat,
we aimed to sculpt lines that fit her frame—
a key factor in overall satisfaction after liposuction.
Lastly, for all liposuction patients,
long-term results depend not only on surgery
but also on maintaining healthy habits
such as exercise and dietary control.
Surgery is just the beginning of your transformation.
