Hello, this is Dr. Jaeho Cho, Chief Director of TheLINE Plastic Surgery, a clinic specializing in body contouring. Many women have a slim frame overall and yet find that the fat on their upper arms simply will not come off. Today I would like to introduce the stem cell arm liposuction case of a patient who had a petite, slim frame of 153cm / 48kg but was troubled by stubborn fat on the arms.
This is the patient's pre-operative photo. In terms of numbers she was on the slim side, but she was stressed by the flesh that pushed out to the side when her arms were down and by the unnecessary fat around the armpits. When a person is petite, a thick arm line can make the upper body look bulky and the overall proportions look shorter. Her biggest concern was that when she wore sleeveless tops, her shoulder line did not drop at a right angle but looked rounded, giving a silhouette that made her appear heavier than she actually was.
Reflecting the patient's concerns, the key to this surgery was not simply removing fat but designing a delicate arm line that best suits a small, petite frame. The skin on the arm is especially thin and sensitive, so many patients worry that the skin may sag or the surface may become uneven after suction, but at TheLINE we work to relieve these concerns through SVF liposuction. SVF liposuction preserves the abundant stem cell component the patient already has while extracting fat, which helps tissue regeneration at the surgical site and promotes faster recovery, so the space left by the removed fat is held firmly and a smooth, closely fitted arm line is completed without sagging. Thanks to this, the patient was able to keep her skin firmness after surgery while gaining a slim line that drops at a right angle from shoulder to elbow.
These are the patient's photos at three months after surgery. The circumference of the whole arm has visibly decreased, and you can see that a line dropping smoothly and straight from shoulder to elbow has been completed. We also applied TheLINE's own meticulous know-how to the scar issue, which is what patients worry about most in liposuction. Because the surgery is performed through minimal incisions of only about 5mm placed deep in the creases inside both armpits, the scars are barely noticeable from right after surgery, and once the recovery period has passed hardly any mark remains, to the point that even the patient has trouble finding it. Thanks to this invisible attention to detail, even those who do not want anyone to know about their surgery can proceed with peace of mind, and they can confidently show off their slimmer line without scar worries when wearing sleeveless tops or swimsuits in midsummer.
After surgery, the patient told us with great satisfaction that she can now take slim, picture-perfect photos from any angle without her upper arms standing out.^^ Now, with TheLINE's SVF arm liposuction, confidently reveal your own hidden, delicate line without scar concerns.
