The area where liposuction has the greatest effect and the highest level of patient satisfaction is the arms. Even for people with a lot of fat, if you remove a little bit of fat from the area that is ruining the ideal arm line, the line will change dramatically. It doesn’t just make your lines look prettier, but even if you only remove 100-200cc of fat, your size will look much smaller.
Arms, like thighs, are one of the areas that lose weight easily. Even if you lose weight, the reason why you do not lose fat in a specific area is because the fiber surrounding the fat cells supports the fat tissue too tightly. In this case, the size does not decrease even with diet, exercise, or external procedures such as laser. The hardened fatty tissue must be softened so that the fat can be easily expelled, but currently, there are few methods as effective as liposuction.
There is a lot of fat in the arms, but there is also a lot of muscle. People often ask whether liposuction can be effective. In general, if you have large thighs and knees, it is difficult to lose fat, and even the desired results are not good. Many people exercise their thighs, but not their arms. Among athletes and overweight women, liposuction was difficult because they had too much muscle on their arms, and there were very few who did not see results. There have been cases where the size of the thighs did not decrease even after liposuction due to the large amount of muscle, but I have rarely seen cases where the size of the arms did not decrease as expected after liposuction.
The same goes for other parts, but when it is lower than satisfactory, there is a high possibility that there is a lot of soft fat and hard muscles. Of course, there are soft and hard types for liposuction.
Rather than being satisfied with fat, it is not possible to accurately determine the amount of fat. However, unlike the thighs, the firm and soft effects of liposuction can be clearly seen on the arms.
Many people worry that if they have a lot of fat and their arms will sag if they lose the fat, there is no need to worry about this, especially when it comes to arms. Usually, liposuction is performed on other areas, and the results of the surgery may differ from expected depending on skin elasticity and age, but this is not the case with the arms.
Because of the structure of the arm alone, the arm has a lot of flesh, so it is wrinkled and as thick as the thigh, with a lot of the flesh sticking up. The weight that was lost due to the weight of fat goes up as the fat is removed and becomes lighter, so the arms do not sag, but the results can be optimized even if many people regret it when it comes to obesity or upper arms.
Also, the arm appears to have decreased in size during the recovery period and for more than a month after the arm is removed. But the arm. As a result, recovery is as fast as the arm was removed by liposuction, and swelling remains, so the shape change effect is immediately visible. Typically, arms can see 60-70% of the final result within a month, and almost 100% of the final goal can be achieved after two months.
Above all, it is no exaggeration to say that arm liposuction is a line art. It is important to leave a minimum amount of fat and create round, bone-thick breasts on the arms, but it is more important to make the overall arm line smooth while maintaining the curve that clearly defines the person.
Therefore, when performing arm liposuction, not only do we make the arm look as visible as possible rather than reducing the overall size, but we also insert the fat that protrudes from the side to make the arm thinner and maintain a smooth line, and remove the fat that is difficult to maintain a nice arm line. Make it sharp and tilted enough to make the gaze look like the injector.
Also, to create beautiful lines, fat cannot be removed only from the curves. Fat accumulates in the armpit area, which is connected to the wrist and arm line, and becomes bulging. It is important to perform liposuction to target the area where the armpits, bulging arms, back, and left upper arm are connected. Here, it is an injection that delicately holds or finishes the sides. Go a little further and do arm liposuction.
Pay attention to the lines on the top of the bra. So, the lines from the arms, armpits, and back are naturally connected, creating the prettiest and most stylish front and back lines.
A lot of attention is also paid to the location of the incision for liposuction. Since only one (or two) very small incisions of 3 to 5 mm are usually made near the armpits where the arms are folded, the scars are not noticeable even before they completely disappear. If so, make an additional incision in the front between the front bra hooks. Arm liposuction takes approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes and removes fat from 300cc to over 1,000cc.
Build straight and pretty calves like girl groups
The calf is also a major part of creating an S-line. There are many cases where the calf becomes an unexpected problem and ruins the S-line. The standards for pretty calves are quite strict. It shouldn’t be just thin. The line below the knees should be straight, and the calf area should be appropriately thick and smooth. And as it goes down to the ankles, it gets narrower and narrower, creating the most feminine and sexy calves.
Creating pretty calves is as difficult as picking stars from the sky. The calves themselves do not have much fat, so they may be smaller than the lower buttocks. In addition, because it is an area that receives a lot of exercise, it is easy for muscles to develop, and it is difficult to see effects from liposuction on solid, developed muscles. You may not see the same effect as other areas right away. However, liposuction can help make your calf lines look pretty and sexy.
Transformation of Cho Seon-moo’s legs
Joseon radish is refreshing and delicious. However, the moment you connect Chosunmu with a bridge, the good image of Chosunmu instantly turns into a bad image. This is because of the unique appearance of Joseonmu. Since the jar-shaped center is convex and thick, no one would be happy if it was said that Boyang looked like Joseon radish. It’s an explanation for socks that will overflow once, but Cho Seon-moo’s legs will never settle down. Although the effect of liposuction is great for each area, including areas where the fat only goes up to the thin muscle membrane, it is thin, but it plays a sufficient role in correcting Chosunmu’s legs.
Case 1. Now I can wear a miniskirt with confidence
Shin Gok-mi (pseudonym, 24 years old) was at an age where she could be fashionable, but because of her strong and chubby calves, she couldn’t bring herself to wear clothes like shorts or miniskirts. He is not overweight overall and has particularly thick calves, so he mostly wears pants. When I wanted to wear a skirt, I wore a long skirt that covered my calves. Also, I decided to get liposuction after thinking about the fact that I wanted to wear short skirts like my friends but couldn’t. Before the surgery, I was skeptical about the effect on my calf, but the result was that I could do anything if the surgery went well. Now, I am confident enough to say that I can wear a miniskirt.
Case 2. I now enjoy wearing skirts without the ostrich eggs that were residing on my calves.
Nam Woo-shin (pseudonym, 25 years old) tried everything to remove an ostrich egg-sized egg stuck in his calf. Not only because I have thick calves, but because of the eggs that anyone can see, I was very stressed. I’ve tried all treatments that claim to slim down my calves and get a six-pack, but none of them were effective. In the end, I underwent liposuction and calf nerve block as a last resort.
The first days after surgery were very difficult. As if I had run 50 laps of the playground, it was intense and bouncy.
It was swollen and thicker than before surgery. I heard that the more you walk, the faster the swelling goes down, so even though it was difficult, I always walked for about 30 minutes a day. After about a week, the swelling began to go down and the lines began to appear. Five weeks after surgery, the size change had decreased by about 2cm. Although the change in size is not significant, the old round egg shape has disappeared and the bumpy lines have definitely become smoother. When it comes to calves, the lines are more important than the size, so I feel indescribably happy and happy every time I see those egg legs.
Because of my complex about my calves, I had to ask the principal to wear pants even during exercise days. But now she finds a skirt and wears it. That’s how confident I am in my calf. Also, it is said that the swelling in the calves will steadily go down for 3 to 4 months, so I have greater expectations than I have now.
Case 3 My calves have become so smooth that I can’t even see them when I raise my toes.
Oh Eun-joo (pseudonym, 29 years old) has never worn a skirt other than the school uniform skirt since the second grade of elementary school because of her thick and firm calves. After graduating from high school, the two of them were happy that they no longer had to stress out and wear skirts. However, as time passed, I felt sad and sorry for having to wear only long pants even on hot summer days. I decided to get liposuction because I thought I could live like this for the rest of my life. Because my muscles were too hard and my bones were prominent, liposuction alone seemed to be ineffective, so I underwent nerve block suction along with liposuction. This is a surgery that blocks the nerve branches related to the calf and prevents further muscle development. The size of the calf has decreased by a whopping 3.8cm, and the bright spots that were so bright cannot be seen even when the child stands on tiptoe.
In calf liposuction, line correction takes precedence over size.
As mentioned before, the calves are the area where liposuction has the least effect. Unlike other areas, the size change is not significant even after liposuction. Usually, the size decreases by about 2~3cm, and even if the size decreases a lot, it is difficult to exceed more than 5cm. However, many people try to slim down their thick calves. How difficult is it to reduce calf size by 0.5cm? Since this does not reduce the size of the calf, people choose liposuction, which can definitely reduce the size even if the effect is small.
Moreover, even if the size of the calf decreases, it is not noticeable. Even if you reduce your thighs by just 3cm, it will make a mark. Even if you look at the hair, the lines may be different and it may look like someone else’s thighs, but the calves are not like that. Even if you only want to reduce it by 3cm, you will lose quite a bit of size, but it is hard to estimate. Because the calf feels like it has no fat to begin with, the change is not clearly visible even if the size changes greatly due to the unique line of the calf that looks like a thigh or ankle.
However, if your calves feel thick overall, you may be able to benefit from breathing. However, not only the calves but also the after-effects are clean. It looks coolest when the curves are just right, neither too excessive nor too little.
When it comes to calves, it is more important to have pretty lines rather than size than other parts. When performing liposuction, the natural fat should be molded into a natural and smooth shape, and the lines on the thighs and ankles should be removed as naturally and cleanly as possible. Even if your legs are a little thin, if your lines are pretty, you are successful.
The effect is doubled when nerve blocks are combined with Botox.
Just liposuction can make your calf line look much prettier. However, it is difficult to completely get rid of the thin, protruding fat that bothers women as much as thick calves. Even if it looks like it’s alive or gone, if you tiptoe, it’s easy to reveal yourself.
So, is there a way to completely eliminate thinness? The area we commonly notice and talk about is the muscle that is relatively larger than the ankle-sized area. It is a muscle that extends from below the knee to the middle of the calf, and if it is developed a lot, it will inevitably look as overwhelming as Go. As long as the skinny remains the same, it is difficult to avoid change.
In that case, it is absolutely difficult to reduce the size with liposuction alone, so the way to reduce the size of this area is to use nerve block surgery and Botox in parallel.
The principle of nerve block and Botox to reduce the gastrocnemius muscle is the same. It atrophies the gastrocnemius muscle by reducing the stimulation to the gastrocnemius muscle. However, nerve block surgery causes the gastrocnemius muscle to atrophy by cutting the nerve branch connected to the gastrocnemius muscle, and Botox uses a method to paralyze the muscle and cause it to atrophy. However, the effect of Botox disappears in 6 months and 1 year at most, but the effect of nerve block surgery lasts for about 3 to 5 years. Severed nerves do not reattach, but if you walk a lot, nerve branches grow, so some function can be restored.
When performing calf liposuction, an incision is made in an inconspicuous area on the inner side of the ankle, toward the calf bone. It is very small, about 3 to 5 mm in size, and leaves almost no scars. After the surgery is completed, there is subsidence under the skin around the ankle, and the effect is often better if one additional pressure is applied. Calf liposuction surgery takes about 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes, and removes about 300cc to 500cc at a time.
Tips What are the numbness and tingling symptoms that sometimes appear during nerve block surgery?
When it comes to cutting nerves, many people worry about side effects. However, because the major nerves needed for movement are preserved and only very small branches are blocked, there is no problem with function at all. When calf nerve block surgery first became popular, there were cases where large branches were unreasonably cut due to rapidly decreasing symptoms, but recently, even if the effect is slightly reduced, the surgery is done in a way that minimizes side effects, so unlike the major problems in the past, side effects rarely occur. . However, in rare cases where the nerve is connected, a tingling pain may occur due to decreased sensation. At this time, decreased sensation may last for several weeks or months and disappear on its own. Since only very nerve branches are cut, there are virtually no major side effects. Due to the nature of the surgical method, it is necessary to apply good pressure to areas including the ankle for a few days after surgery.
