Circumferential Arm and Forearm Liposuction2026.06.22
The Next Level Beyond Traditional Arm Liposuction
This patient underwent circumferential arm liposuction and forearm liposuction, with approximately 700cc of purified fat removed.
The photographs shown are from 3 months after surgery.
Looking Beyond Standard Arm Liposuction
Many patients who visit AVAN TOKYO tell us:
“I want my arms to be as slim as possible.”
However, creating beautifully slender arms is not simply about removing the maximum amount of fat.
The true goal is to create a refined contour with predictable, long-lasting results while minimizing the risk of irregularities.
Why We Intentionally Leave a Thin Layer of Fat
In arm liposuction, removing every possible layer of fat is not always the best approach.
At AVAN TOKYO, we intentionally preserve approximately 2–3 mm of superficial fat.
This helps:
● Maintain a natural skin texture
● Reduce the risk of contour irregularities
● Improve long-term aesthetic outcomes
Ultrasound evaluation is also used to assess soft tissue thickness and optimize treatment planning.
Why Forearm Liposuction Can Make a Big Difference
Although the forearms typically contain less fat than the upper arms, the visual impact can be surprisingly significant.
Benefits may include:
● Better definition around the wrists
● A more delicate and feminine arm contour
● Longer-looking arms
● Improved balance between the upper arm and forearm
For patients seeking extremely slender arms, forearm liposuction can be an excellent addition.
Recovery at 3 Months
At 3 months postoperatively, mild residual firmness may still be present.
However, the overall arm contour has already improved significantly.
The transition from the shoulder to the wrist appears smoother, slimmer, and more refined.
The AVAN TOKYO Philosophy
Our goal is not simply to make the arms smaller.
We focus on creating:
● Natural arm proportions
● Elegant contours from shoulder to wrist
● Long-lasting results
● Natural texture and appearance
Every treatment plan is customized according to each patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals.
