Patient Details
This patient in her mid-30s, came to Dr. Siamak Agha at The Aesthetic Centers in Newport Beach seeking a more refined contour through her upper arms. She was bothered by fullness along the posterior and medial arms that created a heavier appearance, especially when raising her arms or wearing sleeveless tops. Although she maintained an active lifestyle, the localized fullness in her upper arms persisted, leading her to explore a more definitive option.
To refine her arm contour, Dr. Agha performed circumferential arm liposuction, focusing on the inner, back, and elbow regions. Approximately 800 cc of fat was removed from each arm, allowing for smoother transitions and a slimmer arm profile. By carefully evaluating tissue thickness during surgery, Dr. Agha ensured even fat removal and maintained a natural, proportional shape.
Her postoperative results show a more toned, balanced arm contour—the arms now appear lighter, more streamlined, and better aligned with her overall frame. The improvement is visible from both the front and back views, with enhanced definition that supports comfortable, confident wardrobe choices.
This case highlights how precise arm liposuction can offer meaningful refinement for patients with localized arm fullness, even without the need for an arm lift.
