Even if you maintain
a slim size 55 body,
your frame can look larger
in photos or videos.
In such cases,
it is essential to
check your arm lines.
The upper body appearance
is often heavily influenced
by even small differences
in fat volume distribution.
Because of this,
even with consistent
weight management,
certain areas may
appear more pronounced
than actual proportions.
This can create
a heavier overall
body impression.
As a result,
some patients attempt
more extreme dieting
to achieve a slimmer
and more balanced
body shape.
However, this approach
may negatively affect
overall health
and still may not
fully achieve
the desired contour.
It can also lead
to repeated weight regain
and increased stress.
In this case,
although the patient
had a slim body type,
fat in the arms
and scapular area
affected the overall
body line balance
and upper body
silhouette.
Through this case,
we will explain
how targeted liposuction
can improve proportion
and create a more
refined body contour.
[Patient Information]
Age: Late 30s
Height: 170 cm
Weight: 56 kg
BMI: 19
* Even with similar body conditions, liposuction results
may vary depending on individual
body characteristics.
The patient appeared
very slim based on height
and body weight, but had concerns
about the upper body
looking wider
due to upper arm fat volume
and outer arm projection.
As seen in the photos,
the right arm showed more
developed deltoid muscle
compared to the opposite side,
creating visible differences in
arm shape and thickness from both
front and back views.
This also caused
noticeable asymmetry along
the outer arm contour line
on both sides.
In addition, there was
localized fat in the scapular area,
which added thickness to
the overall arm-to-back transition line
and silhouette.
Based on this, the surgical plan included
– Refining the outer arm volume that widened
the front body appearance
– Removing scapular fat
to create a more delicate
and defined back contour line
– Adjusting liposuction volume and range
based on the difference
in deltoid development between sides
– Designing a smooth and natural flow between
the arm and scapular area for balanced body contour
Through the following
2-week post-operative results
of arm and scapular liposuction,
we will review the reduction
in upper body size
and improvement in overall
asymmetry correction.
Arm Liposuction Before and After,
balanced contour improvement at Lesarts Plastic Surgery
Before surgery, visible arm asymmetry
and a wider torso width compared to weight
created an unbalanced overall body proportion.
Through arm liposuction, the contour was refined
into a more stable and balanced silhouette.
From both front and back views,
a noticeable reduction in arm circumference
is clearly observed along with smoother lines.
The overall arm contour now appears
more balanced and naturally refined.
With fat removal in the scapular area,
the shoulder blades are now subtly defined.
This creates a more delicate and
slim-looking back line contour overall.
Arm Liposuction Before and After,
clear side profile slimming at Lesarts Plastic Surgery
From the side view,
the reduction in arm thickness
appears much more noticeable and defined.
The overall arm contour looks slimmer
with a clearer visual improvement.
As the line from the shoulder to arm
connects in a straighter, more linear shape,
the arms appear longer and more elongated.
This creates a refined and
proportionate upper body silhouette.
Before surgery, prominent arm volume
was a noticeable upper body concern.
After arm liposuction, it has transformed
into a slimmer arm shape that naturally
complements a more defined waistline.
Arm Liposuction Before and After,
natural thickness reduction even when lifting arms
When the arms are raised,
the reduction in arm thickness
also appears naturally and smoothly.
The overall arm contour remains refined
even during movement.
During consultations for arm liposuction,
many patients express concern about
the thickness when lifting their arms.
This dynamic change often highlights
areas they wish to improve.
This patient also experienced
emphasized arm volume during movement,
and wanted to correct that concern.
Through arm liposuction,
the thickness was reduced naturally
even in active positions.
Arm Liposuction Before and After,
refined proportions with scapular fat removal
at Lesarts Plastic Surgery
After arm liposuction and
scapular liposuction,
the selfie shows a slimmer
arm circumference and improved proportions.
A more delicate and refined arm look
completely transforms the overall image.
Although the patient seemed proportionate
based on height and weight alone,
fat concentrated in the scapular area
and underlying muscle asymmetry
affected the upper body balance.
This led to a wider appearance overall.
With different arm movements
and various viewing angles,
previously emphasized imbalance
and proportional concerns were improved.
Now even in daily photos,
the body appears slimmer and more refined
Arm liposuction requires
a highly precise surgical plan
tailored to subtle movements and directions.
Even small fat deposits can make
arms look shorter or the torso wider.
Rather than simply reducing size,
the goal is to reshape proportions.
This approach leads to
higher satisfaction and
more natural, balanced results.
