The AVAN TOKYO Approach to Arm Liposuction**

Achieving extremely slim, sculpted upper arms is not a matter of liposuction alone.

From a medical standpoint, women naturally store more subcutaneous fat in their upper arms due to hormonal influence. Even with dieting, this area often remains as a “stubborn pocket.”

For truly sleek arms, patients must follow a three-step process:

1. Reduce overall body fat through diet and training

2. Remove the remaining “resistant fat” with liposuction

3. Maintain strict lifestyle habits after surgery

This sequence is essential for creating the sharp, elegant arm line that many patients desire.

Why arm fat is so persistent in women

Due to physiology and anatomy, the upper arms:

• Are strongly influenced by estrogen
• Have naturally lower metabolic activity
• Are affected by posture and shoulder muscle tension
• Tend to show sagging and skin laxity on the posterior side

Even patients with BMI < 19 may find that only the arms remain thick.

This is why many seek arm liposuction despite being already slim.

Key lifestyle requirements before surgery

To maximize surgical results:

• Protein: 1.5 g per kg body weight daily
• Fat intake: 30–40 g/day
• Carbohydrates: timed around exercise
• Strength training: 3 times/week (lower body prioritized)
• Cardio: 20 minutes, 2–3 times/week
• Steps: 10,000/day
• Water: 2L+
• Sodium: minimal

These habits dramatically enhance postoperative arm contouring.

AVAN TOKYO’s full-circumference arm liposuction

Our approach focuses on:

• Arm circumference and fat distribution
• Border definition around the triceps
• Removal of axillary fat and accessory breast tissue
• Deltoid definition for a model-like line
• Maintaining natural shoulder mobility
• Enhancing the seamless line from arm → shoulder → chest

To create truly slender arms, we emphasize:

• Zero protrusion of accessory breast tissue
• Visible deltoid groove
• Avoiding oversized implants (when hybrid augmentation is combined)

These details are essential for a refined, attractive upper-body silhouette.

Why results peak at 6 months

Recovery typically follows:

• 1 month: swelling & stiffness
• 3 months: peak fibrosis
• 6 months: final contour emerges

For patients with BMI < 19, the final silhouette becomes particularly sharp and elegant.

Conclusion

Ultra-slim arms are achieved through

proper lifestyle habits × precise liposuction × disciplined aftercare.

AVAN TOKYO provides upper-arm contouring that prioritizes not only “thinness” but the entire upper-body balance.
