She underwent 360° arm liposuction combined with axillary fat removal. A total of approximately 720 cc of pure fat was removed.
The goal was not simply to make the arms smaller. We carefully reduced the fullness around the upper arms, particularly near the shoulder-arm junction, to create a smoother transition from the shoulders to the arms and a more slender, refined appearance from the back.
At AVAN TOKYO, arm liposuction is designed by considering the shoulders, arms, axillary area, back, and overall upper-body proportions as one continuous silhouette.
At 2 months after surgery, postoperative firmness and tissue contraction may still be present, and the contour can continue to refine over the following months.
Risks and potential complications include contour irregularities, scarring, hyperpigmentation, swelling, bruising, asymmetry, sensory changes, infection, hematoma, and seroma.
Individual results and recovery vary.

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.
