Arm Liposuction 6-Month Review with Dr. Joongjae Baek | Real Results & Patient Experience

After a lot of hesitation, this is my 6-month review of arm liposuction with Dr. Joongjae Baek

I’ve never been overweight — my weight has always stayed under 50kg — but my arms were always my biggest concern. Despite losing weight down to the low 40kg range, my arm fat never really changed.

I was worried about potential side effects like scars and the psychological anxiety around liposuction, and my parents and boyfriend were also against it. So for a long time, I kept trying to solve it with dieting alone — but it didn’t work.

Eventually, I decided to go ahead with the surgery. After researching multiple clinics, I chose Dr. Baek Joong Jae, and now, 6 months later, my satisfaction keeps increasing over time — I’m extremely happy with the results!

Based on the doctor’s recommendation, I had arm liposuction, axillary (armpit) fat, and bra-line (back of armpit) liposuction together. Recently, I traveled to a warm country and wore sleeveless tops and bikinis confidently — honestly, out of all the procedures I’ve had, this is the one I’m most satisfied with (second only to LASIK!).

The scars are minimal — just one small incision inside each armpit — so subtle that even my parents still don’t know I had the procedure!

I also really appreciated the doctor’s philosophy. He prioritizes safety and prefers a conservative approach rather than overdoing it and risking side effects — even if that means doing a second procedure instead. That mindset gave me a lot of confidence.

I had many concerns about liposuction side effects before, but choosing a doctor with this kind of approach was one of the main reasons I went ahead — and in the end, I’m beyond satisfied.

Honestly, I’m so happy with the results that now I’m even considering inner thigh liposuction too!
