As restrictions on outdoor activity due to COVID gradually eased and relationships with others became active again, a growing number of people are choosing liposuction surgery in order to express themselves with confidence and build a slim, healthy figure.
In the past, liposuction surgery was perceived as something performed in cases of severe obesity, or as an easy way to build a slim figure in a short time without effort such as diet or exercise, so even those who had the surgery often hid it from those around them. On top of this, liposuction surgery was thought to have many side effects, making it hard for ordinary people to approach.
Recently, however, perceptions have shifted toward prioritizing personal satisfaction and happiness over social perception, improving a specific area that had been a complex and completing a balanced figure. Advances in medical technology reducing the likelihood of complications and side effects have also influenced this change.
Dr. Jaeho Cho, Chief Director of TheLINE Plastic Surgery, said, "In body contouring, and in liposuction surgery in particular, the big issues are safety and side effects. Each time an issue about surgical side effects flares up, many people come to doubt whether liposuction surgery is really a safe surgery. To state the conclusion first, this surgery can be called a relatively safe surgery because the surgical site, namely the subcutaneous fat, contains no vital organs. Nevertheless, the reason controversy over side effects continues is that the area where surgery is performed is not exposed on the outside, and side effects can occur when the surgery is carried out without considering each person's differing fat distribution, tissue quality, and skin elasticity, or when an unreasonable liposuction process is planned rather than proceeding within safe limits."
He went on to explain, "To minimize side effects during liposuction surgery and obtain a satisfying result, it is advisable to choose a surgeon who has performed liposuction surgery many times and a clinic with thorough preliminary examinations and systems."
Recently, stem cell liposuction surgery using stem cells has also become an option for lowering side effects. Stem cells are contained within adipose tissue, and during liposuction surgery, removing only the fat while preserving the stem cells as they are helps restore internal tissue damaged during surgery and bring the empty space of the fat layer into close contact, raising skin elasticity. In this way, bruising and swelling are reduced and side effects lowered.
Dr. Jaeho Cho said, "However, because the liposuction surgery process using stem cells requires highly specialized medical technology, when choosing a clinic it is important to check in advance whether it has the relevant facilities and whether the surgeon in charge has abundant experience performing stem cell liposuction."
He added, "To obtain the change you want safely and without side effects, these three are essential: whether the clinic has a specialized system, whether experienced medical staff are on site, and a thorough consultation process. It is important to establish a liposuction surgery plan appropriate to your individual body type, and suctioning an unreasonably large amount of fat can produce an undesired result."< Copyright © Hemophilia Life, unauthorized reproduction and redistribution prohibited >
