Hello, this is Dr. Yoongeun Kim of TheLINE Plastic Surgery, a clinic specializing in body contouring. Even for a woman with a petite, slim frame of 153cm and 48kg, stubborn fat concentrated on the upper arms can be a major concern that diet alone cannot resolve. The patient in this case also had a slim build, yet she was stressed by the so-called 'bye-bye fat' that sagged and jiggled whenever she moved her arm. I would like to introduce her actual SVF arm liposuction case.
This is the patient's pre-operative photo. Although she maintained a slim weight, fat concentrated on the lower part of the arm together with reduced firmness meant the tissue jiggled every time she moved, which caused her considerable stress. When the arm line spreads outward or downward on a petite frame, the center of gravity of the upper body appears lower and the proportions look shorter, so we focused on removing the unnecessary volume and firming up the vertical contour of the arm.
In particular, rather than simply extracting fat, we applied SVF (stem cell) liposuction so that the sagging tissue on the lower arm would tighten and lift as if she had been working out. The bye-bye fat area is directly affected by gravity and the skin stretches easily, but making use of the abundant SVF component can induce regeneration in the dermal layer of the skin after surgery, so a firmer line can be expected. This allowed us to complete a firm line that does not jiggle even when the arm is waved, and to create a straight arm line that further highlights the 'delicate silhouette' that is the advantage of a slim frame.
These are the patient's post-operative photos. Now that three months have passed since surgery, the bye-bye fat that used to sag downward has been smoothly refined, and the line running from the tip of the shoulder to the elbow shows a sharp, slim silhouette as if it had been sculpted. The patient said, "Now that the jiggling I used to feel when I moved my arm is gone, my whole body looks much lighter and firmer," and she was deeply moved by the change created by that hidden 1cm of line. This delicate arm line, born from the meeting of precise handmade suction technique and the regenerative energy of SVF, went beyond simple fat removal and refined the patient's overall image. The patient had also been worried about scars before surgery. To address this concern, we used TheLINE's own hidden incision method. Considering that the arm is frequently exposed, we performed the surgery precisely through micro-incisions of only about 5mm, placed along the natural creases inside both armpits so that the scars would not be visible from the outside. With this approach the scars are hardly exposed unless the arm is raised high, and as time passes they blend in with the skin tone, so even patients who are sensitive about surgical marks report high satisfaction. Thanks to this, the patient was able to change into a noticeably slimmer figure without telling anyone around her about the surgery.
This delicate arm line, born from the meeting of precise handmade suction technique and the regenerative energy of SVF, went beyond simple fat removal and refined the patient's overall image. Now, come see your own hidden real line for yourself at TheLINE, with the 5mm detail that leaves no scar worries. ^^
