Treatment Overview
Arm Liposuction for Men in Korea is a specialized cosmetic procedure that targets excess fat in the upper arms to create a leaner, more athletic appearance. Unlike female arm liposuction, which typically aims for a slimmer and softer contour, male arm liposuction often focuses on definition and muscular visibility, highlighting the natural biceps and triceps for a toned look.
Korean plastic surgeons are globally recognized for their precision in high-definition liposuction, using advanced tools such as micro-cannula liposuction, ultrasound-assisted liposuction, and 3D body analysis. This ensures natural, masculine results with minimal scarring and downtime.
Purpose & Benefits
- Fat Reduction: Removes stubborn fat in the upper arms.

- Proportional Balance: Harmonizes arm size with shoulders and torso.
- Athletic Appearance: Enhances a masculine, toned arm profile.
- Confidence Boost: Improves fit of shirts, suits, and sportswear.
- Combination-Friendly: Often paired with chest or abdominal liposuction for full upper-body sculpting.
