; This is an upper body liposuction procedure encompassing 360-degree circumferential arms, axillae, anterior axillary fat pads, posterior axillary fat pads, and subscapular back fat. The surgical scope includes full circumferential arms, axillae, anterior axillary fat (bra fat), posterior axillary back, and subscapular back.
Bra fat = Anterior axillary fat + Posterior axillary fat
The upper arms are one of the most rewarding areas for liposuction, consistently delivering outstanding results and high patient satisfaction. Because arm fat is notoriously resistant to exercise, this is one of the most frequently requested liposuction procedures.
What defines beautifully feminine arms? Naturally, they are slender, well-toned, and free of sagging -- slim upper arms that complement the overall figure.
Looking at each area in detail: The medial arm below the biceps should be free of sagging or laxity. When standing at attention, the lateral contour from below the deltoid muscle to the elbow should present a smooth, straight silhouette.
Additionally, the anterior axillary fat pad -- the visible bulge in front of the chest contour, sometimes referred to as "bra fat" -- should be smooth and flat. Some women also have accessory breast tissue (polymastia) within the axilla, and the axillary region itself must be free of fat accumulation to achieve a sleek, refined arm contour.
Finally, there is the posteroinferior arm -- the area behind and below the elbow.
When viewed from the axilla downward, some patients exhibit a sudden bulge near the elbow region. Slimming this area is essential to complete the overall feminine contour and create a smooth, natural transition to the forearm below the elbow.
Liposuction sculpts a more attractive figure by removing the fat layer between skin and muscle. While it cannot alter the underlying musculature or skeletal framework, the procedure can effectively create a beautifully feminine silhouette simply through targeted fat removal. Unlike weight loss through dieting, liposuction offers the additional cosmetic benefit of skin retraction -- the previously lax arm skin contracts naturally after surgery, producing a tighter, more toned appearance.
The back is one of the most technically challenging areas for liposuction. The abundant fibrous tissue and thick skin make suctioning difficult and physically demanding, while postoperative skin retraction tends to be limited, making satisfactory outcomes harder to achieve. For these reasons, back liposuction sometimes requires pre-treatment with laser or advanced ultrasonic lipolysis devices to soften and emulsify the fat before aspiration. In many cases, simultaneous surgery with the abdomen and arms is necessary to achieve an optimal result.
Unlike the inverted-triangle structure of the male back, the feminine back is characterized by a near 90-degree angle between the arm and the torso. Achieving this aesthetic requires precise suctioning along the axillary folds and lateral back. When significant fat accumulation above and below the bra line creates visible folds, additional incision points may be placed on the posterior back to address these areas effectively.
; Patients with an overall upper body obesity pattern who desire balanced, natural, and aesthetically pleasing contours of the arms and back. Particularly suited for patients with significant fat accumulation around the bra line who have already undergone or are planning thoracoabdominal liposuction, and who wish to remove fat not only from the posterior axillary back but also from the lateral flank region of the back.
; The procedure encompasses 360-degree circumferential arms, axillae, anterior and posterior axillary regions, and the back below the bra strap line.
