A curvy body line, smooth legs,
and a flat abdomen are all desirable features.
While each age group may prefer different body shapes,
one area that consistently concerns all ages
is the arms.
When upper arm fat makes the arms look bulky,
it can give off a heavier and duller impression overall.
That’s why many people are now considering
arm liposuction—especially when
diet and exercise don’t reduce upper arm fat easily.
Arm liposuction removes unnecessary fat cells
to slim down the arms
and create a straight, toned line.
Interestingly, winter is a more ideal season
for arm liposuction than summer,
when the arms are more exposed.
This is because the recovery process
often involves bruising, swelling,
and symptoms like Bio-Bond adhesion,
which are easier to manage
during the long-sleeve season.
Wearing compression garments also
adds a warming effect,
giving you a double benefit.
The upper arms don’t hold a large amount of fat
compared to other areas, and they move often,
so it’s important to develop
a personalized surgical plan
based on each patient’s body type.
To achieve the ideal body line,
a thorough consultation
and careful decision with your surgeon
are essential.
The patient is 156cm tall, weighs 50kg,
and has a BMI of 20.
She has an upper body–dominant fat distribution,
which made her especially concerned
about the persistent fat in her arms.
Over the course of three months before surgery,
she gained over 3kg,
which made her feel bulkier and heavier.
This led her to decide on
upper arm liposuction.
She searched various online forums and communities
to compare clinics known for
expert liposuction procedures,
and eventually found a clinic
that specializes in fat removal surgery
and matched her needs—
which brought her to us.
During her consultation,
she asked whether it was possible to
remove the maximum amount of fat
to achieve a look like “bone-thin arms.”
Based on the body consultation,
the patient had a higher fat ratio
than average for her weight.
So, we expected good results in terms of
visual change and size reduction
after arm liposuction.
We explained that instead of
treating only the arms,
adding armpit and shoulder blade liposuction
would create a much slimmer upper body silhouette.
Therefore, we recommended combining
arm, armpit, and shoulder blade liposuction.
Although the patient had mild fat
in the accessory breast area,
we advised her to make a careful decision
because wrinkling could occur
if fat is removed from that region.
The patient viewed the additional areas
as a way to maximize the slimming effect,
and agreed to proceed with
upper arm liposuction including armpits and shoulder blades.
A total of 3,000cc of fat
was removed during the procedure.
3-month progress after upper body liposuction
Pre-op: Feb 7, Surgery: Feb 21
Follow-up: Mar 13 / Mar 15
At 2 weeks post-op from upper body liposuction,
even during the stage when bruising, swelling,
and Bio-Bond adhesions may appear,
a noticeable volume reduction could already be seen.
Thanks to simultaneous liposuction
of the accessory breast area,
not just the arms,
the entire upper body
showed visible slimming effects.
When fat is heavily concentrated
in a target area,
it often leads to surrounding bulges
forming in nearby regions.

However, even if a patient
has a large amount of fat,
we do not recommend removing all of it.
Instead, we always suggest
the most effective areas
based on the patient’s body balance.
To achieve refined and high-quality results,
we carefully plan each case
with maximum precision
and dedicate ourselves
to the best possible outcome.
