Hello, this is Dr. Yoonkeun Kim, Director at TheLINE Plastic Surgery, a clinic specializing in body contouring.
Patients with a 161cm, 63kg build usually have fat distributed evenly across the whole abdomen, and on top of that, flesh tends to build up intensively on the lower abdomen, the flanks, and the love handle area sometimes called the back flank, blurring the waistline. For this body type it is difficult to create the desired 'S-line' through weight-loss dieting alone, because the fat layer wrapping the abdomen is thick and firmly settled. The patient in this abdominal liposuction case also came to us wanting to reduce the overall bulk of her upper body and to smooth out the flank flesh and lower abdomen that bulged over the waistband, so she could recover a narrow waistline. We analyzed her build from multiple angles and redesigned the heavy-looking area around her waist into a slim shape through all-round abdominal liposuction. In a build in the 60kg range, abdominal liposuction involves a considerable volume of fat to remove, so it is more important than anything that a large area of skin contracts firmly rather than becoming uneven after surgery. At TheLINE, we used our handmade technique to suction the fat of the entire abdomen evenly, from the lower ribs to the pelvic line, dramatically reducing the horizontal width of the upper body. At the same time, rather than merely extracting fat, we made fine adjustments so that the skin tissue would adhere smoothly toward the muscle wall after surgery. This approach to abdominal liposuction helps prevent the looseness or sagging of skin that can follow large-volume suction, and instead creates a result in which the abdomen holds firmly and the waist size decreases dramatically.

The core that supports the quality of the result during such refined abdominal liposuction is SVF technology. Leaving highly concentrated stem cell energy in the space where a large volume of fat has been removed strongly supports the tissue's own recovery. The abundant growth factors in stem cells increase the cohesion between loosened tissues, encouraging the skin to settle stably in place rather than drifting after abdominal liposuction. Thanks to this, even though a large volume of fat was removed, the patient's skin surface stayed smooth and firm rather than hanging loose, and this became the driving force behind a visually slimmer, healthier body line. SVF technology also markedly speeds up the return to normal condition after abdominal liposuction. The abdomen covers a wide surgical area and moves frequently, so some patients worry that recovery will be slow, but the powerful regenerative components of SVF heal surgical irritation as it occurs and quickly settle bruising and swelling. Thanks to this biocompatible recovery process, the patient was able to return to daily life quickly with outstanding resilience, even though a large-volume abdominal liposuction had been performed. Being able to see your waistline grow lighter quickly while carrying little physical burden after surgery is one of the greatest points of satisfaction our patients feel.

Five months after surgery, the patient has completely cleared away the heavy abdominal flesh and maintains a confident waistline in whatever she wears. She expressed high satisfaction, saying, "Not only did my waist size shrink beyond recognition after abdominal liposuction, but the skin holds firm without sagging, so the way clothes fit has changed completely." Beyond simply removing fat, TheLINE's abdominal liposuction technique finds the most refined and narrow line your upper body can have. Please experience for yourself the lighter, slimmer daily life it brings ^^
