During the summer season,
as clothing becomes lighter and shorter,
many people try to lose upper arm fat
through dieting, especially when it becomes visibly prominent.
However, it’s not easy to target and reduce
just the arm fat alone through exercise or diet,
making it a common concern.
That’s why many patients choose arm liposuction
as a faster method to transform their arm shape.
Among those considering this procedure,
some wonder whether large-volume fat removal
can help them achieve a slim, delicate arm line.
But without a proper consultation with a surgeon,
and without considering the patient’s proportions and balance,
removing too much fat can result in depressions
or uneven surfaces, leading to dissatisfaction.
Therefore, rather than focusing solely
on removing a large amount of fat,
it’s important to undergo comprehensive body analysis
before surgery,
so that the procedure reflects
the patient’s individual body characteristics.
The patient we’re introducing today
underwent arm liposuction
to resolve her concerns
about arms that made her upper body look bulky.
Let’s take a closer look
at her before-and-after photos below
to see the transformation.
[Patient Information]
Age: Late 20s
Occupation: Professional
Height: 177cm
Weight: 70kg
BMI: 22
Even with similar body specs,
results of liposuction may vary by individual.
This patient is taller than average
compared to most women,
and had been feeling stressed
about her thick upper arms,
which made her upper body appear even larger.
Based on the patient’s body shape analysis,
we identified the following:
1.Her muscle mass was moderate,
and she had a fat-type body shape
with a sufficient amount of removable fat.
2.To achieve her goal of a feminine, straight arm line,
we recommended combining arm liposuction
with accessory breast and armpit fat removal.
Therefore, we proposed the following
arm liposuction surgical plan:
1.Perform arm liposuction
along with accessory breast and armpit liposuction,
to create a smooth and delicate arm silhouette
with a naturally slim, straight shape.
Below is a comparison photo
taken before surgery and five months later.
[Surgery Area & Fat Volume]
Surgery area: arms, accessory breasts, armpits
Fat volume removed: 2,500cc
The patient had a visibly bulky upper body
due to thick upper arms and excess fat
in the accessory breast and armpit area,
which led to an unbalanced and less defined arm shape.
To address this, we performed
arm liposuction along with accessory breast
and armpit fat removal,
targeting a full reduction in upper arm size.
Our goal was to slim down the outer arm bulge,
and to reshape the upper body line
into a more delicate and feminine silhouette.
As seen in the photo taken five months post-op,
the back view shows a clear reduction in width,
enhancing the overall feminine proportions.
Photos taken from both the front and side
also reveal that the swelling has subsided,
and confirm a visible size reduction
and transformation into a straight, slim arm line
through the liposuction procedure.
This is a selfie photo taken and provided
by the patient after her arm liposuction surgery.
You can see that fat around the
accessory breast, back bulge,
and jeogori fat (underarm crease)
has been smoothed out,
creating a line that now suits
the patient’s natural body frame.
The patient wore compression garments
and received dedicated aftercare
to support a stable recovery
after arm liposuction.
In addition, we reminded her that
in order to maintain the results
of arm liposuction over time,
it is important to practice healthy lifestyle habits,
such as maintaining a balanced diet
and engaging in consistent exercise.
