Hello, this is Dr. Joongjae Baek of TheLINE Plastic Surgery.
The aesthetic standard many people aim for these days is not simply a 'thin body' but a 'straight silhouette' that is firm and smoothly extended. The patient I introduce today, at 161cm and 52kg, already maintained a sufficiently slim build, but because of the accessory breast tissue that bulged out at the sides when she lowered her arms and the excess tissue at the back of the arm known as the 'root,' she experienced an optical illusion that made her upper body look sturdier than it really was. In cases like this the absolute amount of fat that can be extracted is not large, but even a very slight accumulation widens the visual horizontal span of the upper body and undermines the overall proportions. Through this operation I built a straight shoulder line falling smoothly from the tip of the shoulder to the elbow without excess, and at the same time completed a delicate mood in which the skin adheres tightly, through stem cell-rich SVF liposuction.
These are the patient's pre-operative photos.
The aesthetics of 5mm designed where no one can see: the hidden incision method As a surgeon favored by patients in their twenties and thirties, the point I consider most important is leaving no trace of the surgery. Given how often the arms are exposed, I precisely target the deep natural crease inside both armpits so that scars are not visible from the outside. Because the entire suction process, covering the arms, the accessory breast tissue, and the upper arm root, is carried out precisely through openings of only about 5mm, scars are barely exposed unless the arms are raised high. This shares the same logic as TheLINE's practice of placing incisions along the underwear line at both hips in thigh liposuction, or hiding scars at both hips and near the tailbone in abdominal liposuction. As time passes the traces blend completely with the surrounding skin tone, achieving a finish so complete that even the patient has trouble finding them, which means that patients with slim body types who may be sensitive about scars can also enjoy sleeveless clothing with confidence. A delicate fit made by a difference in firmness: stem cell-rich SVF liposuction A lean body in the 52kg range has a thin fat layer, a demanding condition in which the skin surface can easily become uneven or lose firmness after surgery. To compensate for this completely, I applied stem cell-rich SVF liposuction throughout the procedure. By leaving the body's viable cellular energy densely in the tissue around the treated area rather than destroying it during surgery, I encouraged self-adhesion lifting in which the skin settles onto the muscle layer as tightly as a magnet, without any artificial injection from outside. This process densely regenerates the collagen mesh within the skin and plays a decisive role in completing a firm, smooth texture in which the skin does not go slack after surgery but looks as though the patient had always had a naturally slender constitution. Going beyond the act of simply taking fat away, correcting a person's collapsed proportions and setting free the real contour hidden within is exactly the distinctive value of stem cell-rich SVF liposuction.
These are the patient's photos six months after surgery.
The power of a contour that overwhelms the numbers: the change at six months Six months on from arm + accessory breast + arm root liposuction, the patient's upper-body contour is no longer trapped in the contradictory description of a lean body that still looks bulky. Once the excess tissue below the shoulder and the unnecessary volume around the armpits that widened her frame horizontally were resolved, an open sense of proportion and the straight beauty of slender arms came through dramatically, belying her 161cm height. The patient told us that although the number on the scale is little different from before surgery, the person in the mirror has changed into something far lighter and more refined, and she shared the everyday sense of release that comes with being able to wear the thin knits and cardigans she once avoided for fear of looking broad-shouldered. Over these six months the lifting effect of the stem cell-rich SVF liposuction has stabilized and the skin has adhered even more smoothly, and as a result the most elegant silhouette the patient had imagined has been completed. Through this precise sculpting, combining the refined handwork of a board-certified surgeon with TheLINE's advanced technology, I hope you will see your own hidden real contour for yourself. We prove value beyond surgery through results.
