This case features a 25-year-old woman who is now 6 months after circumferential arm liposuction.
A total of 500 cc of pure fat was removed. Following surgery, she remained committed to a healthy diet and regular exercise, successfully losing an additional 8 kg. The combination of liposuction and postoperative weight management contributed to an even more refined and elegant result.
Liposuction and gradual weight loss complement each other remarkably well. As postoperative inflammation and fibrosis settle, continued healthy lifestyle habits may support a smoother recovery and help create more natural, well-defined body contours. Rather than simply becoming thinner, the arm develops a slimmer, more sculpted silhouette.
At AVAN TOKYO, our goal is not only to remove fat but also to design a harmonious arm contour based on each patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals. We carefully evaluate the shoulder, upper arm, forearm, and overall body balance to achieve results that look natural from every angle.
Potential risks include swelling, bruising, infection, hematoma, contour irregularities, skin laxity, temporary numbness, pigmentation changes, fibrosis, asymmetry, and the possibility of revision surgery. Every treatment plan is individually customized to maximize both safety and long-term aesthetic outcomes.

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.
