Mini Liposuction
Just one area,
sculpted precisely - mini liposuction
Mini liposuction is a spot liposuction that, instead of treating the whole body, precisely sculpts only the single area where the line has collapsed, such as the upper arms, abdomen or thighs. For a line that does not change even after losing 10 kg, one area alone can make a clear difference.
Mini Liposuction
Why is treating just one area enough, rather than the whole body?
Some people keep their weight steady, yet only the line of the upper arms, abdomen or thighs collapses. TheLINE sculpts this kind of imbalance precisely, one area at a time.
- 01
What kind of procedure is mini liposuction?
Instead of reducing everything the way weight management does, it selects only the single area where the line has collapsed and sculpts it precisely as a spot liposuction. Even for a slim build, the focus is on the contour itself rather than the volume removed.
- 02
How long does it take under sedation?
The procedure is performed briefly under sedation to reduce the burden of pain and shape the line quickly. The time varies from person to person.
- 03
Do I have to wear a compression garment?
Because it is a localized procedure, a return to daily life is possible even without a compression garment. You may wear one if you prefer.
- 04
Do you have to remove a large volume to see results?
The focus is on the contour, not the volume. Suctioning precisely is the key point, even for a slim build.
- 05
How long does recovery take?
The recovery burden is light, so returning with only a half day off in the afternoon is possible. The recovery period varies from person to person.
Mini Liposuction Area
Which areas does mini liposuction work well for?
These are the three areas where the line tends to collapse the most.
-
Upper arms
Inner · back arm
Refines the inner and back of the upper arm and the axillary breast line that show when you raise your arm or put on clothes.
-
Abdomen
Upper · lower
Divides the upper and lower abdomen that remain even after weight loss and sculpts each part precisely.
-
Thighs
Saddlebags · knee
Connects the places where the line breaks, such as the saddlebags, the inner thigh and the area above and below the knee.
Mini Liposuction Difference
What makes mini liposuction different?
From precise technique to safe anesthesia, this is the approach of TheLINE, which has worked with fat and SVF alone for 19 years since 2007.
-
PRECISION SKILL
Refined suction that respects the skin tissue
The fat layer that protects the skin is left untouched, and only the correct subcutaneous fat layer is treated with a highly demanding technique.
-
SVF REGENERATION
Regenerative support filled in with SVF
SVF is preserved so that the empty space in the fat layer adheres closely, supporting firmness and regeneration.
-
LINE, NOT VOLUME
Focused on the contour, not the volume
The risk of side effects is reduced while removing an amount that can be taken safely, with the focus on creating the line.
-
HIDDEN INCISION
Fewer incisions, less concern about scars
Cannulas of up to 1 m developed by Dr. Jaeho Cho keep incisions to a minimum, taking the burden of scarring into account as well.
Surgery Information
How long is mini liposuction surgery and its recovery period?
It is performed briefly under sedation, and a return to daily life is possible even without a compression garment.
- Scope Spot suction of one area only
- Anesthesia Sedation (twilight anesthesia)
- Duration Short procedure (varies by individual)
- Garment Not required - available on request
- Daily life Possible with a half day off in the afternoon
- Recovery Light, as it is a localized procedure
※ Surgical area - one area among the upper arms (inner, back, axillary breast tissue), the abdomen (upper, lower) or the thighs (saddlebags, inner thigh, above and below the knee)
※ Unexpected side effects such as inflammation, bleeding or infection may occur. The degree may vary from person to person, so caution is advised.
Recovery System
How does recovery proceed?
A well-finished surgery means caring for the patient's condition through recovery as well.
Anticipating bleeding
Based on the test results, the possibility of bleeding is anticipated in advance.
Recovery support
Systematic care helps reduce swelling and bruising and supports recovery.
Quick condition rebound
The recovery burden is light, so you return to daily life quickly.
Recommended Combination
Treatments that pair well with mini liposuction
To carry the line further after one area, ask during your consultation.
Body Ssak Injection
An injectable treatment that refines localized fat without surgery. It is combined to smooth out any line remaining after suction.
SlimSlim Suction
An injection that extracts fat without sedation. It is chosen to lightly refine areas where surgery feels like too much.
Stem Cell IV Therapy
SVF obtained from your own fat is injected intravenously. It is recommended when you also want to look after your condition post-surgery.
