Upper Arm Lipedema

Description

Upper arm lipedema, often referred to as "disproportionate arm fat disorder," "arm lipedema," or "painful fat arms," causes an abnormal and symmetric buildup of fat from the shoulders to the wrists, resulting in arms that appear much larger than the rest of the body. Unlike regular weight gain or obesity, this stubborn arm fat is resistant to diet and exercise, and may cause tenderness, easy bruising, and a heavy or achy feeling. Many people with upper arm lipedema—most commonly women—notice their upper arms growing rapidly while hands and lower body remain unaffected, sometimes described as "batwing arms" or "matronly arms." If you experience arm fat that won’t go away, feels lumpy, or is out of proportion to your frame, seeking expert diagnosis and treatment can bring relief, improved appearance, and greater confidence.

De:light Body Plastic Surgery in Gangnam Station specializes in liposuction, fat transfer, and gynecomastia care, led by board-certified surgeon Dr. Sung-Hoon Kim with a focus on minimally invasive techniques and patient safety. Facial Contouring Facial liposuction: Targets excess fat in the chin, jawline, and buccal area to create a slimmer facial profile. Small incisions are used to suction fat for sharper contours and a more defined lower face. Body Liposuction Abdominal liposuction (360 liposuction): Removes fat from the upper abdomen, lower abdomen, flanks, and waist in a circumferential approach. The goal is a more balanced, hourglass midsection by contouring the torso from all sides. Arm liposuction: Eliminates localized fat from the upper arms, lower arms, and armpit area to refine arm shape. It aims to reduce bulk and improve arm definition while preserving a smooth contour. Thigh liposuction: Addresses fat on the inner, outer (saddlebags), front, and back thighs. Contouring these zones helps streamline the leg line and improve proportional balance. Fat Grafting Breast fat grafting (fat transfer to breasts): Uses your own purified fat after liposuction to enhance breast volume and shape. This approach focuses on natural softness and contour without implants. Hip-dip and hip fat grafting: Transfers your own fat to fill hip dips and augment the lateral hips for a rounder silhouette. It complements waist and thigh contouring to emphasize curves. Male Chest Surgery Gynecomastia surgery: Treats enlarged male breasts by removing excess glandular tissue and chest fat. The aim is a flatter, more masculine chest contour with discreet incisions. Revision and Corrective Procedures Liposuction re-operation (revision liposuction): Corrects contour irregularities or unsatisfactory results from previous liposuction performed elsewhere. Techniques include targeted fat removal and fat grafting to smooth asymmetry and refine shape.
