Hello, this is Dr. Joongjae Baek, Director at TheLINE Plastic Surgery, a clinic specializing in body contouring. Many women worry about upper arm fat that will not go away. The circumference of the upper arm itself is a concern, but in fact the greater source of stress is the flesh in the surrounding areas connected organically to the arm. When fat is broadly and thickly distributed from the inner armpit to the accessory breast, and on to the shoulder blade line at the back (back-wing fat) that makes the frame look bigger when seen from behind, it is difficult to relieve the heavy look of the upper body no matter how much dieting is done.
These are the patient's pre-operative photos. The patient had a build of 161.7cm / 61.8kg. For this arm liposuction case as well, her biggest concern was a silhouette in which not only the width of her upper arms but also the flesh bulging out to the sides when she held her arms against her body, along with the thick fat layer around her back, made her frame look far bulkier than it was. Going beyond the limits of ordinary arm liposuction that only reduces the horizontal width of the upper arm, we worked in three dimensions on the straight line dropping vertically from the shoulder tip to the elbow as well as on the surrounding fat layers that determine the overall width of the upper body, carrying out an arm liposuction design that maximizes a delicate look from any angle, front or side.
The decisive foundation that allowed us to complete such smooth, refined arm liposuction across a wide area of the upper body is TheLINE's own SVF arm liposuction technique. The arm and its surrounding tissue involve a complex web of nerves and microvessels, so a very fine handmade technique and practiced judgment are required, and SVF arm liposuction keeps the highly concentrated stem cell energy obtained during surgery inside the body, creating the optimal environment for the tissue itself to recover in a healthy way. The true value of this technique shows in the outstanding recovery of condition patients feel for themselves right after arm liposuction. The abundant growth factors and regenerative components contained in stem cells heal the internal irritation caused during surgery as it happens and support smooth blood circulation. As a result, even though arm liposuction covered a wide area including the regions around the arm, bruising and swelling after surgery subsided surprisingly fast, and the patient was able to return to her usual daily routine quickly with minimal physical burden.
These are the patient's photos at three months after surgery.
Patients with a lot of fat around the arms sometimes worry that the area where the fat was removed will hang loose or lose firmness and sag after arm liposuction, but the strong regenerative energy of SVF arm liposuction fully dispels such concerns. Stem cell energy raises the internal density of the skin tissue, encouraging the space emptied by arm liposuction to settle stably, as if it had always been smooth. Through this, beyond simply reducing the volume of the arm, the shoulder tip comes through clearly at a right angle and the back line is neatly organized as well, producing a visual change in which the heaviness of the entire upper body is clearly lifted. Once the heavy flow of the upper body is organized through successful arm liposuction, the neckline looks longer than before and the overall body proportions are transformed into something far slimmer and more refined - a dramatic rebirth of the body shape.
Now, three months after surgery, the patient has moved entirely away from the stubborn flesh that had weighed on the area around her arms and confidently reveals a light, smooth arm line. "At first I had no idea arm liposuction alone could change the whole feel of my upper body this much, but with the armpit and back lines organized together, my clothing size itself has visibly gone down," she said, adding that above all she was glad the recovery period after arm liposuction was very short thanks to SVF and that the skin surface finished smoothly without irregularities, making post-operative care very easy. Beyond the surgical meaning of simply removing fat, please experience for yourself TheLINE's refined arm liposuction technique, which finds the most delicate 'fine margin' of beauty your upper-body silhouette can have. Unchanging firmness and a smooth, straight line even after surgery - that is the result TheLINE promises from arm liposuction. ^^
