This case shows the recovery at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after combined upper arm liposuction and Hybrid Breast Augmentation.
Liposuction was performed on the entire upper arms and accessory breast (axillary breast) area, removing 350 mL of purified fat.
Case overview
| Procedure | Liposuction (circumferential upper arms, accessory breast tissue) / Hybrid breast augmentation (silicone implant + fat grafting) |
|---|---|
| Sessions | 1 session |
| Cost | ¥1,400,000 (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) |
A 275 cc Motiva Mini silicone implant was placed in the subglandular plane, followed by fat grafting for hybrid augmentation (150 mL to the right breast and 95 mL to the left breast) to achieve a softer, more natural contour.
By 3 months after surgery, a slimmer upper body and beautifully balanced breast contour have been achieved, creating a more defined and feminine upper body silhouette.
Potential Risks: Infection, fat necrosis or palpable lumps, scarring, capsular contracture, contour irregularities, asymmetry, temporary numbness, skin laxity, hematoma, seroma, 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.
