【Circumferential Arm & Axillary Liposuction｜6 Months Post-Op】
Case of a 23-year-old woman.
Case overview
| Procedure | Liposuction (circumferential upper arms, armpit area) |
|---|---|
| Sessions | 1 session |
| Cost | ¥648,000 (price at the time of treatment, monitor price) Price list |
| Main risks | swelling, bruising, pain, edema, skin irregularities, asymmetry, scars, etc. (see details below) |
| Doctor | Dr. Shin Moriwaki (Director) |
We performed extensive liposuction including the entire arm (upper arm, shoulder, anterior area), as well as the axillary fat.
Approximately 1100cc of pure fat was removed, representing a relatively high-volume case.
In general, when more than 600cc is removed, there is a risk of skin laxity.
However, in this case, skin contraction has been favorable, resulting in a sharp and well-defined contour.
Key improvements include:
✔ A defined, angular line from shoulder to arm
✔ Reduction of bulk in the axillary area
✔ A significantly slimmer back silhouette
Liposuction is not about volume—it is about line design.
Creating continuous “lines,” not points, defines a refined upper body.

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.
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.
