Hello, this is Dr. Joongjae Baek of TheLINE Plastic Surgery.
When I consult with patients who come in with abdominal concerns, there is one longing they all share. It goes beyond simply flattening the stomach: it is a desire for the curve of a waistline that pulls inward. Today's patient, at 164cm and 66kg, also had an overall healthy build, but she was stressed by a silhouette in which the fat layer running from her front abdomen to her flanks concealed the waistline and made her torso look like a straight cylinder. In abdominal liposuction on a build in the 60kg range, the key is not simply how much fat is removed but how smoothly the line from the lower back to the flanks can be brought in to reveal the hidden pelvic line. In this surgery I performed abdomen + corset liposuction, which reduces the volume of the entire abdomen while firmly defining the waistline, and added stem cell-rich SVF liposuction technique to secure firmness as well.
These are the patient's pre-operative photos.
The 5mm detail hidden where no one can see: TheLINE hidden incision As a plastic surgeon, one of the details I care about most is leaving no trace of surgery. Many people worry about scars inside the navel with abdominal surgery, but TheLINE's abdomen + corset liposuction does not create a wound inside the navel. Instead we secure micro-incisions only in positions completely covered by underwear or a swimsuit line, such as both hip areas and near the tailbone. Just as scars are hidden in the inner armpit crease for arm liposuction and inside the underwear line at both hips for thigh liposuction, for the abdomen we likewise target only the blind spots that are never exposed in daily life. The marks of about 5mm blend with the surrounding skin tone over time, reaching a level of refinement where even the patient has trouble finding them. This gives our patients the freedom to enjoy crop tops or bold bikinis after surgery without worrying about scars. A difference in firmness is a difference in outcome: stem cell-rich SVF liposuction Because the abdomen is an area where large volumes of fat are removed, it is very important that the skin does not sag or loosen after surgery. For this reason we applied stem cell-rich SVF liposuction technique throughout the procedure. When surgery is performed while densely preserving SVF (the stromal cell component) containing the body's own energy within the tissue, the collagen network inside the skin regenerates densely. This self-adhesion lifting effect helps the skin settle firmly onto the abdominal muscle layer without any artificial injection from outside. It fundamentally prevents the skin loosening that can occur when large-volume liposuction is performed on a build in the 66kg range, and instead completes a firmer, smoother abdominal texture than before surgery. This is precisely the distinctive value of stem cell-rich SVF liposuction, which goes beyond simple fat removal.
These are the patient's photos six months after surgery.
A line that grows more solid with time, the aesthetics of six months Six months have now passed since the abdomen + corset liposuction. With the residual swelling right after surgery completely gone, you can see that the cinched waist curve I designed has settled in even more clearly and solidly. Once the love handles and flank fat that stretched the eye horizontally on this patient's 66kg build were fully cleared away, the pelvic volume stood out by comparison and a dramatic S-line was completed. What is most encouraging is the long-term lifting effect of stem cell-rich SVF liposuction. The skin texture has grown firmer as time has passed, and the patient told us that thanks to an abdominal line that holds up from any angle, the pleasure of getting dressed has completely changed for her. Simply removing fat is technique, but sculpting a body that grows more beautiful over time is a matter of sensibility and sincerity. Through this special change, where the precise craftsmanship of a board-certified general surgeon meets the self-generated vitality of stem cell-rich SVF liposuction, we hope you too will meet the most current and elegant silhouette you have imagined.
