6 Months Post-Operative: Arm Liposuction (23-Year-Old Female)
To achieve a truly slim appearance from all angles, it is important for the upper arm to be slimmer than the elbow.

At first glance, this may seem unnatural. However, in individuals with naturally slender arms, the proportion is typically “elbow > upper arm.”
In this case, 400cc of pure fat was removed to create a refined and balanced contour.
Risks: Contour irregularities, pigmentation, scarring, etc.
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.
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.
