[Pharm News = Reporter Taeil Kim] As social media became more active, the glamorous images of idols, influencers, and overseas stars became easy to come across, and many women, admiring them, now tend to prefer a lean yet curvy, Westernized body shape. Trying diet control, exercise, and diet supplements to improve their body shape, they can see the effect of weight control, but changing the contour of the body itself is very difficult, so a growing number of women choose liposuction and fat grafting as a fast and easy way to correct their contour. The arms, abdomen, and thighs are areas where liposuction is frequently performed. Because the fat layer is heavily concentrated there and the areas do not slim down easily even with fasting or exercise, they can be improved into the desired contour through liposuction.Since the types of body shape and the areas that gain weight vary, such as bodies with a lot of visceral fat, bodies with thick skin or a lot of muscle, and bodies with a high amount of fat relative to body weight, one should identify well the areas where body contouring can be effective, establish a suitable plan, and treat only the areas that are truly necessary.When deciding on liposuction, the decision should be made after considering various perspectives rather than simply volume. Liposuction is not a good surgery merely for extracting a large volume, so it is performed by suctioning only the middle-layer subcutaneous fat while leaving an appropriate amount of fat that can protect the skin and organs. If this is overlooked and an excessive amount is suctioned, it can lead to unsatisfying results such as unevenness or a change in the contour's proportions in an undesirable direction, so it is important to have a thorough consultation with medical staff who have abundant experience performing liposuction surgery.Recently, there are also cases of using stem cells when performing liposuction. The principle of liposuction is to extract subcutaneous fat using cannula equipment, and within that subcutaneous fat, stem cells are present in large amounts. Since stem cells help the formation and connection of blood vessels to promote regeneration and lower the likelihood of inflammation, aiding quick recovery, performing surgery that preserves stem cells through advanced medical technology so that they do not come out along with the fat is safer than conventional liposuction and more favorable for obtaining a satisfying result.Because suctioning only fat cells while preserving stem cells is possible only through medical staff with abundant clinical experience at a clinic equipped with advanced technology and equipment, the clinic must be chosen carefully, and this also helps on the preventive side of the various side effects that can occur after liposuction surgery. In particular, compared with conventional surgery, there is less bruising and swelling, and less concern about reduced skin elasticity or the likelihood of unevenness.Liposuction that preserves stem cells can be used in every liposuction process including the arms, abdomen, and thighs, and since it has various advantages, if you are planning liposuction you can consider stem cell liposuction. In the case of procedures using stem cells, the process can be said to be more sensitive and detailed than conventional suction procedures.Therefore, it is advisable to establish a liposuction plan suited to your body type together with specialized medical staff who have a high understanding of overall body structure and stem cells and who are well versed in the process of the procedure, and to have the surgery carried out safely in line with that plan.Written by.
