As the real heat of summer begins, a growing number of people are working to build a firm, slim figure in preparation for lighter clothing and summer vacation. Among them are also people considering improvement through cosmetic surgery. As for methods, rather than whole-body surgery that reduces overall weight or size, there is also a move toward improving specific areas, such as mini liposuction performed only on exposed areas regarded as complexes, and the buttocks, which complete the S-line of the figure.
The buttocks are the central area that determines the rear contour, and also a body area women pay attention to in summer. Because the overall harmony of the body line and the mood of the silhouette when wearing clothes change according to size and shape, it ends up connected to women's confidence or self-esteem.
Dr. Yoosuk Chung, Chief Director of TheLINE Plastic Surgery, said, "Complexes about the buttock area can be classified by their characteristics into sagging type, insufficient hip dip type, small pelvis type, asymmetry, and an overall lean type. If there is an unusual amount of fat only in the buttock area, or if the hip dip line needs improvement, the shape and size of the hip contour you want can be expected through a process of liposuction and grafting according to the individual's body condition."
He went on to explain, "Autologous fat grafting, which can be applied to the hip line or areas lacking volume, proceeds by harvesting unnecessary fat from the abdomen or thighs and grafting it, so the body-correcting effect is large. Also, because autologous living tissue is used, there is no rejection reaction such as an autoimmune response, and depending on the amount of fat to be grafted or the desired volume, it can be divided into first and second stages. It is also an advantage that no separate hospitalization is required, discharge is possible on the day of the procedure, and one can return to daily life right away."
If you are considering hip fat grafting, you need to approach it with great care. What matters in fat grafting surgery is the surgeon's accurate judgment in determining and grafting the most appropriate amount of fat according to the individual's skeletal structure and body conditions, and the environmental conditions that allow the grafted fat to be maintained for a long time.
Dr. Yoosuk Chung, Chief Director, said, "Among these, the graft survival rate plays a role in helping the grafted fat cells settle well at the surgical site and maintain volume for a long time. Recently, stem cell hip fat grafting surgery, which uses stem cells to raise the survival rate, is also performed. Unlike the conventional fat grafting process, it proceeds by grafting while preserving as they are the large amounts of stem cells contained in the fat, so the stem cells promote new blood vessel formation, raising the survival rate and also delivering the effect of improved elasticity at the surgical site by aiding collagen synthesis."
He went on to advise, "However, since there are still not many places in Korea that can handle stem cells safely and accurately, when choosing a clinic it is advisable to check in advance whether it has specialized equipment and facilities and whether medical staff with abundant experience in stem cell body contouring procedures are on site. Hip fat grafting is a demanding surgery in which not only volume but also shape, elasticity, and the overall balance of the body must be considered. For this reason, by approaching it carefully and using a method that preserves stem cells, you can raise the survival rate and obtain improvements in volume and elasticity along with a hip-up effect."< Copyright © Hemophilia Life, unauthorized reproduction and redistribution prohibited >
