Circumferential Upper Arm, Armpit & Accessory Breast Liposuction | 26-Year-Old Woman, 6 Months After2026.10.18

Before

After

A 26-year-old woman. She was concerned about the thickness of her upper arms and the fullness around her armpits (armpit fat and accessory breast area), so we performed liposuction of the circumferential upper arms (back of the arms, shoulders and front) together with the armpit fat and accessory breast area at the same time. The photos show her from behind, before surgery and 6 months after surgery.

When fat remains on the shoulders, the front of the arms or around the armpits, the base of the arm and the area around the armpits can still look bulky even if only the back of the arm is slimmed. In this case, we treated the whole circumference of the upper arms in a balanced way and also removed the armpit fat and accessory breast fat, aiming for a continuous line from the shoulders through the arms to the armpits.

The procedure was performed under general anesthesia (intravenous plus inhalational anesthesia), with 1,300ml of tumescent solution infiltrated into the upper arms and armpit area. A total of 1,300ml of fat was removed, and the operation took about 55 minutes. The incisions are six small ones, at both elbows and at the front and back of both armpits. After surgery, she wore a compression garment (bolero) for the upper arms.

In the photo 6 months after surgery, the outer line of the upper arms looks more streamlined, the fullness from the armpits to the back is less noticeable, and the silhouette from the shoulders to the arms appears slimmer.

At 6 months, swelling and firmness of the treated areas (contracture) have generally settled. The final result, recovery time and the degree of swelling, bruising and oedema vary from person to person. The treatment area and volume depend on body shape and skin condition, so please start with an examination and consultation.
