Hello. This is Woori Plastic Surgery.
Today, we’d like to talk about whether breast augmentation surgery and arm liposuction can be performed together, and what kind of effect they may have when done at the same time. Let’s take a look at the key points of breast augmentation surgery.
Can the surgeries be performed at the same time?
To get straight to the point, breast augmentation surgery and arm liposuction can be performed at the same time! Because the breast augmentation area and the arm liposuction area are not directly connected, having both surgeries on the same day is not a major issue. However, there are some precautions to keep in mind. After liposuction on the arms or auxiliary breast tissue area, care is needed so that the incision area in the armpit is not compressed when wearing compression garments. Also, when several areas are operated on at the same time, remember that swelling, bruising, and pain may last longer than with a single procedure. So it is possible, but if you have the time, we recommend having arm liposuction about one month after breast augmentation.
Will combining arm liposuction make the breasts look bigger?
Yes! In fact, the relative visual effect makes the breasts look bigger. For example, in a group photo, if you stand next to someone with a small face, your own face can look larger, and if you stand next to someone with a large face, it can look smaller—it's the same principle. As the fat around the arms, auxiliary breast tissue, and abdomen decreases, the breasts stand out more relatively, creating a visual effect that makes them look fuller. When breast augmentation surgery and arm liposuction are done together, it is not just the volume that appears larger; the overall body balance also improves.
The effects of breast augmentation surgery and arm liposuction
Breast augmentation surgery and arm liposuction can be performed on the same day, but if the areas are adjacent, a longer recovery period may be needed. When performed at the same time, the visual effect of making the breasts look bigger is enhanced, and the overall body shape balance can be improved by refining the arm line and emphasizing the breast line. However, if you want a more comfortable recovery, we recommend having arm liposuction one month after breast augmentation.
Today, we looked at how to combine arm liposuction to maximize the results of breast augmentation surgery. Same-day surgery is possible, but the recovery period may be longer, so please make your decision after consulting with a specialist.
