Case overview
| Procedure | Liposuction (upper arms) / Hybrid breast augmentation (silicone implant + fat grafting) |
|---|---|
| Sessions | 1 session |
| Cost | ¥1,200,000 (price at the time of treatment) 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) |
In addition to contouring the arms, excess fat in the accessory breast (underarm area) was carefully removed to create a smooth, continuous transition from the upper arms to the breasts.
A total of 400 cc of purified fat was harvested. A Motiva Mini 290 cc implant was placed in the subglandular plane, followed by fat grafting of 70 cc to each breast. This combination softens the implant edges, enhances the cleavage and upper pole, and creates a more natural breast contour.
Combining arm liposuction with hybrid breast augmentation improves the harmony of the entire upper body. Rather than treating each area separately, AVAN TOKYO designs the shoulders, arms, underarm region, décolletage, and breasts as one continuous silhouette based on anatomical principles.
Potential risks include swelling, bruising, pain, infection, hematoma, asymmetry, capsular contracture, fat necrosis, palpable lumps, temporary numbness, scarring, and the possibility of revision surgery.

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.
