Poor posture prevents beautiful arm contouring—even after liposuction2025.12.19
Upper arm liposuction alone does not guarantee elegant arms.
One crucial factor is often overlooked: posture.
■ Posture and arm aesthetics are anatomically linked
The scapula, clavicle, and humerus are connected through joints and fascia.
When shoulders are rounded forward:
- The clavicle appears buried
- Arms look thicker
- The upper body loses definition
By retracting the scapulae and opening the chest, the clavicle becomes more visible and the arms appear slimmer and refined.

■ Upper-body contouring based on posture correction
At AVAN TOKYO Ginza Liposuction Clinic, we design the entire upper body, not just remove fat.
- Lateral shoulder fullness
Upper arm liposuction + deltoid Botox (80–200 U) - Superior shoulder bulk
Trapezius / levator scapulae Botox under ultrasound (100–300 U) ± localized liposuction - Thick arms from the side view
Circumferential arm liposuction + RF / thread / surgical skin tightening - Flat frontal silhouette
Clavicle & shoulder fillers, accessory breast fat removal
■ Case
This case shows 8 months after circumferential arm liposuction, demonstrating a refined contour from all angles.


■ Conclusion
Beautiful arms require fat reduction, posture optimization, and precise anatomical design.
