Arm Liposuction

Sagging upper arms that won't slim down, even with exercise?

Thick arms make your upper body look bigger and spoil the way clothes fit. See the difference liposuction can make for sagging upper arms that have been so hard to fix.

Is slimming the arms alone enough?

Bulging armpit fat and accessory breast tissue need to be addressed too for a truly straight, slender line.

Only when the surrounding lines are addressed at the same time do you get a smooth, slim upper body line

A true arm line comes together when the boundaries with the “surrounding areas” disappear.

Slimming the upper arms can make the connected armpit or back fat stand out even more by comparison. With your front, side, and back views in mind, we treat a wide area together, including accessory breast tissue, the armpits, the back bulge, and the bra line.

Who arm liposuction is for

  • The underside of your arms sags when you raise them out to the sides
  • Thick upper arms make your upper body look bulky for your frame
  • The outer line of your arms sticks out, making you look bigger
  • Rapid weight gain has reduced your skin's elasticity and left stretch marks
  • You want a clear size reduction and body reshaping in a short time

Arm liposuction

  • The upper arms, accessory breast tissue, armpits, and back line are precisely sculpted 360 degrees to create a delicate, slender upper body line that falls straight from the shoulder to the elbow.

How arm liposuction is performed

01. Custom arm design

We consider the upper arms, shoulders, accessory breast tissue, and the whole upper body line to design arms that look long and slim.

02. Loosening the fat

Pure fat tissue is safely separated from the surrounding tissue (blood vessels and nerves) to reduce bruising and swelling and speed up recovery.

03. 360-degree liposuction

Fat is suctioned thoroughly in three dimensions, all 360 degrees. As much pure fat as possible is removed while the skin surface stays smooth.

04. A flawless line

Enjoy the long, straight, sleek lines you've always wanted, with no excess fat.

Key points of arm liposuction at DOY JUN Plastic Surgery

360-degree liposuction

The upper arm is cylindrical, so fat is removed evenly from the front, back, inside, and outside, all 360 degrees, for a clear reduction and a smooth line

Including the armpits and accessory breast tissue

The armpits, accessory breast tissue, and back line are refined 360 degrees to create a “straight, right-angled line” that falls from the shoulder to the elbow.

Incisions that don't show

A tiny incision is made in the deep crease inside the armpit, so the scar isn't visible. You can also expect a quick recovery.

Precise liposuction

Our surgeons suction the fat while feeling the fat layer directly with their fingertips. This means less damage to blood vessels, less bruising and swelling, and a faster recovery

DOY JUN liposuction expertise: precise extraction of pure fat

Real inch loss
If the extracted material contains a high proportion of other impurities, the amount of fat actually removed is small. The more purely fat is extracted, the closer the result can come to the planned design line.
Quick recovery
Less damage to non-fat tissue (blood vessels and nerves) means a lower proportion of impurities. Less damage also means less bruising and swelling, so you can recover quickly.
Safety
Heavy blood loss can cause anemia and dizziness. Suctioning mainly pure fat reduces the strain on your body.
Smooth body contours
Suctioning only the fat layer helps prevent lumpiness and adhesions. The surgeon extracts the fat delicately by hand.
High fat survival rate
Grafted fat cells need a supply of blood and nutrients to survive. If impurities are present, the cells struggle to get nutrients and may soon disappear. Grafting pure fat means the same amount lasts longer.
