Arm liposuction Before&After
Even with my arms fully extended, I aim for a perfectly straight “root-to-elbow” line.

When I perform upper-arm liposuction, my goal is a clean elbow-to-arm silhouette when viewed from the front.
Because of that, I sometimes get anonymous comments like “Too extreme,” or “It looked better before.”
But I truly want to create arms that look slim and beautiful from every angle, so I won’t compromise on that ideal—
(of course, if someone prefers a softer, more natural finish, I adjust accordingly).
As you can see in the example below, when the arm is extended and the side view is straight,
the elbow is always slightly wider than the upper arm from the front.

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.
