Body contouring and liposuction
go beyond simply losing weight.
They aim to enhance your natural figure
by improving body balance and proportions
in ways that diet and exercise alone often can’t.
In today’s world, body confidence
has become a central focus for many people.
Weight loss is no longer the only goal—
there’s growing interest in how to refine
specific areas for a more balanced silhouette.
While most people start with exercise and diet,
some fat-prone areas can remain unchanged,
leading many to consider surgical help
to reshape their body more effectively.
As a result, liposuction techniques
have evolved to deliver not just fat removal,
but also precision shaping
based on each individual’s unique traits.
Rather than using a one-size-fits-all method,
modern procedures focus on creating
customized improvements
in body lines and proportions—
helping patients achieve smoother,
more confident silhouettes.

Even with similar body specs,
results from liposuction surgery may vary by individual.
Upper body liposuction in Korea
was performed on a patient
with a naturally slim frame,
but with excess fat concentrated
in the arms and abdomen.
She had been consistently active,
practicing yoga and golf
to slim her upper body,
but found it difficult
to achieve the contoured shape
she truly desired through exercise alone.
In the end, she chose to undergo
liposuction at Lesarts Plastic Surgery
to directly address her concerns
about stubborn fat in the arms and belly.
Upper body liposuction in Korea,
including arm liposuction and abdominal liposuction,
was planned after a detailed consultation
and body type evaluation.
The patient had a fat-dominant body type
with moderate skin elasticity
and minimal muscle development,
indicating she was a suitable candidate
for upper body contouring.
In the arms, fat was not concentrated
in the front, but rather in the back bulge,
creating imbalance between the elbow area
and the upper arm line.
This made her arms appear thicker overall,
and caused the elbows and shoulders
to stand out more prominently.
To address this, we included
armpit liposuction in the surgical plan,
alongside arm liposuction,
to secure space between the inner arms
and torso for a more tapered look.
This approach aimed to make the upper body
appear slimmer and to highlight
a right-angle shoulder contour
with better proportional balance.
In the abdominal area,
fat was more concentrated along the flanks
and upper waistline, rather than the central belly.
We therefore proposed abdominal liposuction
targeted to slim the sides and define the waist.
This approach was expected to create
a naturally smaller waist circumference
and emphasize a more feminine abdominal contour.
However, the patient had a visible rib cage protrusion
in the upper abdomen. We explained that
if too much fat were removed from the waist,
the ribcage might stand out,
creating an unnatural line.
The patient understood this concern
and agreed to proceed with liposuction
focused on enhancing the flank and waistline curves,
without over-reducing volume to maintain harmony
with her skeletal structure.
Now, let’s compare the before and after photos
taken 2 weeks after upper body liposuction,
including the arms and abdomen,
to review the early-stage results.
Arm liposuction and abdominal liposuction
helped remove concentrated fat in the upper body,
resulting in a slimmer and more balanced figure.
Fat that previously stuck out to the sides
in a relaxed position was effectively reduced
through arm liposuction and armpit fat removal,
creating a clean right-angle shoulder line
and straightened upper arms.
You can also clearly see the reduction of thickness
between the elbow and upper arm,
which had previously made the arms appear bulky.
As the arm volume was reduced,
the patient achieved the delicate upper body shape
she had originally hoped for.
Even though it’s just 2 weeks post-op—
a stage with noticeable swelling—
the changes are already highly visible.
Upper body liposuction in Korea
revealed visible improvements
in the waistline and flanks,
as seen in the selfies taken
from various angles after
arm and abdominal liposuction.
The reduced waist circumference
and defined side curves
create a slimmer and more feminine look,
clearly contrasting with the uneven silhouette
seen before surgery, where excess fat bulges
disrupted body balance.
Straight arms and a tapered waistline
now emphasize an ideal upper body ratio,
making the entire torso look well-balanced
and naturally sculpted.
Despite her slim build,
this case proves that targeted fat removal
through liposuction can refine areas
that are unresponsive to exercise or dieting,
achieving a harmonious body shape
through proportion correction.
However, liposuction results
depend on an individualized surgical plan,
based on body structure,
skin elasticity, fat distribution,
and overall health condition.
This patient clearly understood
the potential outcomes before surgery,
carefully reviewed surgical options
based on her body traits,
and ultimately achieved a result
she was deeply satisfied with.
