6 Months Post-Op: 360° Upper Arm Liposuction (27yo Female)
We successfully removed 800cc of pure fat.
The patient requested a “natural, straight contour” rather than an overly thin or skeletal look. We carefully adjusted the design to achieve this balanced, elegant silhouette.
Case overview
| Procedure | Liposuction (circumferential upper arms) |
|---|---|
| Sessions | 1 session |
| Cost | Approx. ¥498,000 (estimate based on the current monitor price, tax included; anesthesia, tests, etc. are charged separately; the final total is confirmed at counseling) Price list |
| Main risks | swelling, bruising, pain, edema, skin irregularities, asymmetry, scars, etc. (see details below) |
| Doctor | Dr. Shin Moriwaki (Director) |
When removing a large volume like 800cc, you might notice a slight sensation of skin laxity (looseness) when viewed from the side profile.
For those who aim for absolute perfection down to the finest detail, I highly recommend combining liposuction with skin tightening treatments (such as Morpheus8) to firm up the skin!
Risks: Irregularities (bumps), Hyperpigmentation, Scarring, etc.
Surgeon: Dr. Shin Moriwaki (Director, AVAN TOKYO Ginza Liposuction Clinic)
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.
