The desire for a lean build and a slim figure, which produced coinages such as S-line and momjjang, is no longer a social phenomenon of conforming to a uniform standard of beauty out of concern for others' eyes. People considering cosmetic surgery these days often choose it as a means of improvement in order to raise their own satisfaction with their body shape or to recover lowered self-esteem, rather than for the gaze or judgment of others.
Among these, liposuction surgery is a surgery that removes excessively accumulated subcutaneous fat by a surgical method to correct the body contour. It can be performed across the whole body, but it can also be carried out partially on only specific areas that do not slim down even with dieting, and another advantage is that there are no symptoms such as hormonal imbalance or increased appetite after surgery, so as long as dietary control is maintained, rebound weight gain is less likely.
Because body fat is not distributed uniformly across the body, when dieting, many people are troubled by the volume of the face or chest, which have less body fat than the thighs or abdomen, decreasing first. In such cases, unnecessary fat can be suctioned to correct the contour and grafted into other areas lacking volume or showing imbalance, so a smoother body line can be expected.
Of course, that is not to say there are no side effects. Suctioning too much fat at once and without restraint can create unevenness and asymmetry where the skin of the surgical area becomes bumpy, and if damage to internal tissue is severe, tissue necrosis can occur.
For that reason, it is important to proceed carefully together with a surgeon who has abundant liposuction surgery experience, and it can help to harvest a pure fat volume at a level appropriate to the individual's body conditions. Recently, methods such as stem cell liposuction surgery, which suctions only fat cells while preserving stem cells as they are during liposuction surgery, are also being used.
Stem cells help the formation of new blood vessels and promote the secretion of growth factors, functioning to heal damage to adult cells and regenerate tissue. The recovery period back to daily life after surgery is relatively short, and the likelihood of side effects such as inflammation, scarring, and necrosis also decreases.
If you have decided on the stem cell liposuction surgery method, you must also be careful when choosing a clinic. Cosmetic surgery using stem cells has been performed in Korea for only a short period, and there are not many clinics with the equipment and technical capability to handle stem cells accurately and safely.
Also, in liposuction surgery, it is a priority to proceed at a level appropriate to the individual's body conditions while maintaining safety, rather than suctioning an unreasonably large volume of fat, and the stem cell liposuction surgery method, with its high skin regenerative capacity and fast recovery speed, can be considered alongside it.
