A 25-year-old woman, 1 month after arm liposuction and hybrid breast augmentation.
We placed Motiva Mini 275cc silicone implants in the subglandular plane, and performed fat grafting with 150cc to the right breast and 95cc to the left breast.
Case overview
| Procedure | Liposuction (upper arms, accessory breast tissue) / Hybrid breast augmentation (silicone implant + fat grafting) |
|---|---|
| Sessions | 1 session |
| Cost | ¥1,300,000 (price at the time of treatment, monitor price) Price list |
| Main risks | swelling, bruising, pain, edema, skin irregularities, asymmetry, scars, capsular contracture, rippling, lumps, calcification, etc. (see details below) |
| Doctor | Dr. Shin Moriwaki (Director) |
The breasts still feel quite tight and firm at this stage, but in general, they become softer and settle more naturally over about 3 months.
The arms are also currently at the peak of contracture (a healing response that can feel hard and uneven), so they are expected to become smoother and slimmer from here.
We also removed the accessory breast tissue (arrow), which helps create a smoother upper body contour.
When performing arm liposuction or breast augmentation, treating the accessory breast area as well often leads to a more beautiful result.
Risks: infection, lumps, capsular contracture, skin tethering, scars, etc.

Risks and side effects
Liposuction may cause swelling, bruising, pain, edema, skin irregularities or tightness, asymmetry, pigmentation, and scars at the small incision sites. Rarely, complications such as infection, hematoma, numbness, or reduced sensation may occur. On the upper arms, shoulders, and back, skin laxity, rippling, or a pulling sensation may occur.
Silicone implants may cause capsular contracture, implant rupture or malposition, rippling (waves of the implant visible on the surface), infection, and changes in nipple or breast sensation.
Fat grafting may cause calcification, lumps or cysts, individual variation in fat survival, asymmetry, and irregularities at the donor site.
These symptoms may occur during recovery and most improve over time, but their severity and the recovery period vary from person to person. If you have any concerns, please consult your doctor rather than judging for yourself.
