It is no exaggeration to say that dieting is something women do for life. Slim, well-balanced figures are seen not only among celebrities, who are admired by everyone, but also on the street, so many women keep dieting without letting their guard down for a moment.
Some diet endlessly out of thorough self-management, but many others find that losing weight is harder than expected and never bring their diet to an end. It is common to repeat a cycle of starting a diet in late spring and still having no satisfying result by the time summer has passed and winter arrives.
In particular, the love handles at the back of the waist and the back area, along with the inner thighs, are among women's biggest concerns, as the excess fat there is known not to come off easily with ordinary exercise and diet. For this reason it is not hard to find people stressed by a painful diet that brings no satisfying result.
Recently, some people have turned to liposuction as a way to resolve this situation. Liposuction removes fat from areas that are hard to slim down, allowing a change in body shape within a short period, and it can also smooth out a body line that has been thrown off by uneven fat distribution.
According to Dr. Jaeho Cho of TheLINE Plastic Surgery, for accurate liposuction it is important to examine the soft tissue with ultrasound before the procedure and confirm the subcutaneous fat layer. Assessing the patient's body condition and the area to be treated has a major effect on cleanly removing only an appropriate amount of the fat layer without damaging muscle, blood vessels, or soft tissue.
Recent liposuction extracts fat through the inner armpit, inside the navel, the tip of the tailbone, or the pelvis, so scars are hardly visible and even revealing clothing such as a bikini can be worn without worrying about scars.
Even in high-volume liposuction, precisely suctioning only the subcutaneous fat layer can reduce pain and bleeding during surgery, and it can also help prevent side effects that may lead to liposuction revision, such as skin sagging, scarring at the suction site, insufficient or excessive suction volume, and skin irregularity.
Even when such side effects have already occurred and liposuction revision is chosen, ultrasound diagnosis can identify the cause of the first surgery's failure and guide accurate suction, leading to a satisfying revision result.
Dr. Yongseung Seo said, "Liposuction of the abdomen, thighs, and other areas can produce unexpected results such as skin irregularity and visible incision scars if performed indiscriminately," adding, "It is important to plan the surgery thoroughly through a full consultation with a specialist."
