A 30-year-old woman underwent upper-arm, shoulder, axillary fat, and accessory-breast liposuction followed by hybrid breast augmentation (Modiva mini 220cc).
This is her result at 3 months post-operation.
Case overview
| Procedure | Liposuction (upper arms, accessory breast tissue, armpit area) / Hybrid breast augmentation (silicone implant + fat grafting) |
|---|---|
| Sessions | 1 session |
| Cost | ¥1,200,000 (price at the time of treatment, monitor price) Price list |
| Main risks | swelling, bruising, pain, edema, skin irregularities, asymmetry, scars, capsular contracture, rippling, lumps, calcification, etc. (see details below) |
| Doctor | Dr. Shin Moriwaki (Director) |
Because the arm liposuction was not circumferential but performed only in selected areas, the degree of change in the arms is intentionally mild.
Recently, I have been placing particular emphasis on reshaping the accessory breast and axillary lines, as these areas greatly influence the upper-body silhouette.
By focusing on key anatomical points, we can achieve noticeable refinement while creating a clean and balanced upper-body contour.
Risks: infection, contour irregularities, capsular contracture, skin tethering, hyperpigmentation, scarring, etc.
Cost: 1,200,000 JPY (monitor price)
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.
Silicone implants may cause capsular contracture, implant rupture or malposition, rippling (waves of the implant visible on the surface), infection, and changes in nipple or breast sensation.
Fat grafting may cause calcification, lumps or cysts, individual variation in fat survival, asymmetry, and irregularities at the donor site.
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.
