Liposuction is a popular body contouring option
because it allows targeted fat removal in desired areas
and delivers visible before-and-after results
in a relatively short time.
However, some people hesitate
due to possible post-operative side effects.
With so much information online and through media,
it’s easy to encounter misleading or inaccurate advice.
The most reliable way to address concerns
is to consult directly with a qualified medical team
at the clinic where you plan to have the surgery.
[Arm + Scapula + Upper Arm Bulge Liposuction – Body Consultation on Surgery Day / December 13 / Unauthorized Use Prohibited]
The patient is 167cm tall, weighs 64.7kg, and has a BMI of 23.2.
She has a body type with more fat concentrated in the upper body,
which has always been a source of concern for her,
especially because her upper body tends to appear larger in photos.
She inquired whether it would be possible
to achieve a slim, straight-angled shoulder line
without the need for photo-editing apps
through arm liposuction surgery.
Based on a pinch test,
the patient was found to have good skin elasticity,
suggesting that the liposuction would yield effective results.
In order to create a well-balanced arm line
when viewed from the back,
we recommended performing additional liposuction
on surrounding areas — specifically the upper back bulge
and the area near the shoulder blades.
Although she was initially concerned about the cost,
she ultimately decided to proceed with the surgery,
placing her trust in the surgeon’s skills
and the professionalism of our medical team and clinic.

The patient underwent
arm, upper arm bulge, and scapula liposuction,
with a total of 2,700cc of fat removed.
Due to personal scheduling conflicts,
she was unable to attend the clinic’s post-op care program,
and instead performed self-massage at home.
She returned to the clinic three months post-op,
at which point we observed signs of bio-bond formation.
We explained that this is part of the normal healing process
and reassured her that there was no need for concern.
Bio-bond refers to hardened areas
that can form when residual fat, tissue fluid, or injected fluid
accumulate after liposuction surgery.
This typically happens when the body
doesn’t fully eliminate these fluids
through the lymphatic system.
While bio-bond usually resolves over time,
for patients who can’t visit the clinic regularly,
gentle walking, warm compresses, or self-massage
can help speed up recovery.
The main purpose of post-operative care
is to reduce bruising and swelling
that often occur after surgery.
Receiving proper care after liposuction
can naturally lead to faster healing
and more visible, effective results.
Skipping post-operative care
doesn’t mean the liposuction procedure was unsuccessful
or that the body shape will turn out poorly—
so there’s no need for excessive worry.
However, if you’re deciding whether or not
to receive aftercare following arm liposuction,
we highly recommend participating in a proper recovery program,
as it can greatly support faster and smoother healing.
