Hello, this is Dr. Yoosuk Chung, Chief Director at TheLINE Plastic Surgery, a clinic specializing in body contouring.
Objectively, 150cm and 45kg counts as a slim build. But the slimmer the build, the more decisively fat concentrated in one specific area can break the overall proportions. This patient too, despite having a delicate frame overall, named as her biggest concern the way flesh bulging on the outer upper arm and a thin layer of fat around the abdomen made her upper body look bulkier than it was and connected her waistline into a straight barrel shape. Rather than stopping at extracting fat, we combined arm liposuction, abdominal liposuction, and corset suction that holds the whole upper body firmly, designing a dramatic change of line to create golden proportions optimized for her small build.
These are the patient's pre-operative photos. In the pre-operative photos you can see that, despite a slim build overall, the flesh spreading to the sides when the arms are lowered and the subtle volume on the front of the abdomen interrupt the straight flow of the upper body. At a petite height of 150cm in particular, even a slight increase in upper arm width easily makes the shoulders look broad and the upper body look short. We first sculpted a clean straight line running from the shoulder tip to the elbow through arm liposuction. To that we added abdominal liposuction, delicately clearing the unnecessary fat layers around the waist, carving out the center of the upper body into a narrow shape and dramatically reducing the overall horizontal width.
The high point of this surgery is TheLINE's corset suction technique. Corset suction goes beyond simply removing fat; it is a demanding technique that gathers and draws in the tissue of the whole upper body toward the center, as if a corset had been tightened. A slim 45kg build does not have much fat to remove, so excessive suction carries the risk of an uneven skin surface or a hollowed-out look. TheLINE's corset suction, however, trims the fat layer very thinly and evenly along the muscle wall, encouraging the skin to adhere firmly inward. As a result, as you can see in the post-operative photos, the arms became noticeably slimmer and the waist contracted into a narrow line, producing a dramatic body-contouring effect that makes her look much taller and better proportioned than before.
These are the patient's post-operative photos. The core that supports the quality of such refined arm and abdominal liposuction is SVF energy. The slimmer the build, the more it matters that the place the fat left behind settles smoothly rather than hanging loose, and SVF technology maximizes the tissue's own capacity for recovery through highly concentrated stem cell energy. The abundant growth factors in stem cells increase the cohesion of skin tissue that can loosen after surgery, doubling the effect of corset suction and helping the skin keep its firmness. Thanks to this, the patient was able to maintain a smooth, healthy skin texture, as if she had been born with a delicate figure, without worrying about surface irregularities or sagging after surgery.
SVF technology also markedly speeds up the return to normal condition after combined upper-body liposuction. The powerful regenerative components of SVF quickly heal the microvessels irritated during surgery and manage bruising and swelling as they arise. Thanks to this biocompatible recovery process, the patient was able to return to daily life quickly with outstanding resilience, despite her delicate 150cm, 45kg frame. As the clear contrast between the before and after photos shows, firm adherence and a refined line have taken the place of the unnecessary flesh, and her overall impression has changed into something far more urban and slender than before.
Seven months after surgery, the patient enjoys a perfect fit in whatever she wears and is very satisfied with her new silhouette. She told us that having arm liposuction and abdominal liposuction together seems to have reduced her upper body size itself, and that thanks to corset suction her waistline tucks right in, so she is amazed every time she looks in a full-length mirror. Beyond simply removing fat, TheLINE's combined solution finds the most ideal proportions and straight lines for your build. For a lighter, more refined body line, please do not hesitate to come and experience it ^^
