Hello, this is Dr. Joongjae Baek of TheLINE Plastic Surgery.
What I feel as a board-certified plastic surgeon, having seen countless body types, is that a beautiful body line is ultimately an aesthetic of 'continuity' that runs without interruption. The patient I introduce today, at 163cm and 61kg, came to us wanting to redefine the flow of the body line running from the abdomen and love handles through to the inner thighs. Her build is healthy and firm by the numbers, but fat concentrated at the abdomen and flanks was hiding the curve of the pelvis, and excess tissue on the inner thighs had removed the space between the legs, leaving her with the concern that her overall silhouette felt flat. In cases like this, targeting a single area alone gives no more than half a result. To align the narrative arc of the line coming down from the upper body to the lower, I designed total contouring encompassing the abdomen, love handles, and inner thighs. To this I applied TheLINE's core technology, stem cell-rich SVF liposuction, performing precise sculpting that accounts for firmness after removal as well.
These are the patient's pre-operative photos.
The 5mm incision: a meticulous design for complete scar defense One of the points patients hesitate over most when deciding on surgery is scarring. Traces of surgery can become a psychological constraint, especially when enjoying a summer holiday or clothing that shows more skin. To eliminate scar concerns at the root, I perform the entire suction process, covering the abdomen, love handles, and inner thighs, through only three micro-incisions. Through fine openings of about 5mm at just three sites, both hip areas and near the tailbone, I reduce abdominal volume, refine the thickness of the love handles, and suction precisely as far as the inner thighs. This is TheLINE's core strategy for minimizing the number of complex incision sites, speeding recovery, and dramatically lowering the possibility of scarring. As time passes, the sites blend perfectly with the surrounding skin tissue and are concealed so discreetly that even the patient has trouble finding them, which means she can feel entirely free from others' eyes in whatever bold outfit she chooses. Stem cell-rich SVF liposuction: a healthy contour that does not lose firmness A true master of liposuction thinks less about 'what and how much to remove' than about 'how tightly the skin can be kept after surgery.' Areas such as the inner thigh, where the skin is thin and delicate, carry a high risk of an uneven surface or sagging if only ordinary suction is performed. To compensate for this, I applied the stem cell-rich SVF liposuction method throughout the entire procedure. This method goes beyond simple fat removal, preserving densely back within the tissue the viable regenerative energy extracted during surgery. The stem cell-rich SVF component rebuilds the collagen network at the surgical site, encouraging 'self-adhesion lifting' in which the skin adheres strongly to the muscle layer without any artificial external injection. Thanks to this technology, even where a large volume of fat has been removed the skin adheres tightly without sagging, completing a smooth body texture that looks as though it had always been firm. TheLINE's technical capability, backed by more than 30 years of clinical data, works to deliver high satisfaction to those who want a body line that is slim and healthy at once.
These are the patient's photos six months after surgery.
A solid contour completed over time: the result at six months Six months on from abdominal, love handle, and inner thigh liposuction, the patient's silhouette is incomparably more stable and solid than it was right after surgery. With the love handles that once gave her a straight-sided waist now fully resolved, the pelvic line that had been hidden has reappeared, and with the excess tissue on the inner thighs gone, the ideal thigh gap has been secured, making her legs look far longer and straighter. The patient expressed great satisfaction, saying that thanks to the strong firming effect of stem cell-rich SVF liposuction, her contour is holding solidly without a trace of skin sagging even six months later. Surgery is not simply the act of taking fat away; it is a process of recovering the beautiful proportions a person's body already holds. Through this distinctive change, combining the precise technique of a board-certified surgeon with TheLINE's technology for maximizing the body's own regenerative capacity, I hope you too will meet your most elegant body silhouette. TheLINE's meticulous 5mm detail will sculpt your once-ordinary contour into something entirely new.
