The patient previously had surgery in Korea and later wanted:
✔ Slimmer arms
✔ Less skin laxity
✔ Better contour refinement
This treatment included:
✔ Circumferential arm revision liposuction
✔ Axillary fullness reduction
✔ 4 threads for tightening support
Approximately 450cc of purified fat was removed.
At 6 months post-op:
✔ Arms appear slimmer overall
✔ Sharper shoulder-to-arm contour
✔ Cleaner underarm area
✔ Improved laxity
Revision surgery requires more than simply removing fat—it requires careful planning of remaining fat, skin excess, and irregularity risk.

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.
Tightening treatments such as thread lifts and Morpheus8 may cause redness, swelling, a sensation of heat, bruising, pigmentation, skin dimpling or pulling, and individual variation in results.
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.
