A Story About Upper-Body Weight Concerns, Where Crop Tops and Off-Shoulder Styles Feel Impossible..

I want to wear clothes that suit my body typeㅠ

Today, I’m reaching out to talk about upper-body obesity!

Outfits that show the shoulders, like off-shoulder styles, always feel impossible

and even crop tops can be hard to wear.. do you ever feel that way?

(It’s about me..)

Concerns about a body type with more fat in the upper body

seem to show up the most when getting dressed, just like concerns about lower-body obesity.

Of course, besides aesthetic reasons, many people also worry about health reasons,

such as preventing joint problems from developing.

What is upper-body obesity?

In general, the term "upper-body obesity" is commonly used,

but when classifying fat concentrated in specific areas medically,

it is often divided according to the obesity pattern.

There is no single, clearly defined medical term that specifically refers to "upper-body obesity,"

but it is a type of obesity that causes many concerns, just like lower-body obesity.

Because it often causes discomfort when wearing clothes,

there are also many videos on social media that explain OOTD ideas by body type,

such as upper-body obesity styling / lower-body obesity styling.

For aesthetic purposes, some people also choose diets, management, and procedures!

Following the last discussion on lower-body obesity,

let’s take a look right away!

How can upper-body obesity be improved?

Diet management:

Limit intake of white rice, white bread, sugary drinks, and snacks (cookies, juice),

and build your meals around lean meat, chicken breast, fish, legumes, vegetables, and whole grains

to increase fullness and raise blood sugar more slowly.

Aerobic exercise:

You should reduce body fat through full-body exercise while strengthening the core and back muscles in the upper body.

Lifestyle / stress and circulation improvement:

Hormone and circulation management is the hidden key to improving upper-body obesity.

Lack of sleep raises cortisol levels and increases appetite, worsening obesity.

Massage the area around the collarbone and underarms regularly to help the body eliminate waste products.

When sitting, keep your back straight and consciously try not to round your shoulders forward.

Find your own way to relieve stress, such as meditation, deep breathing, or a light walk,

and it’s important to keep cortisol levels low.

Procedures at a dermatology clinic for upper-body obesity? The 대표적인 example is injection procedures

Major procedures for improving upper-body obesity (non-surgical):

These procedures inject medication into areas with a lot of fat to break down fat cells or

reduce their size.

They can also help promote lymphatic circulation and aid waste elimination.

Botox for the trapezius muscles / upper arms is also a well-known procedure!

Among device-based procedures, Onda and InMode are the best known.

Onda principle:

It uses microwave energy.

This energy works intensively on water molecules in the fat layer, inducing the breakdown of fat cells.

InMode principle:

It uses a combination of radiofrequency (RF) energy and high-voltage electrical stimulation (HVP).

Both procedures are used to improve upper-body obesity,

and are mainly recommended for people who want both localized fat reduction and improved skin elasticity.

Of course, it varies depending on each person’s skin type, condition, and overall state, so please be sure to consult with a specialist before deciding! Today, here at Forena Clinic near Hongik Univ. Station,
