These days, mukbang is popular everywhere you go. Delivered through TV as well as YouTube, social media, and many other platforms, mukbang shows many people the pleasure of eating all kinds of food, and makes them want to follow along. People willingly make reservations and stand in line to eat at restaurants introduced on social media, and sometimes, like the streamers on screen, they try out high-calorie foods or recipes for themselves. With exposure and access to high-calorie foods increasing in this way, statistics indicate that Korea's obesity rate hovers above 30% of the entire population. Abdominal obesity in particular carries a high incidence of hypertension, diabetes, and arthritis.The abdomen is a common place for excess fat to gather, due to a variety of factors including a genetically determined body type and lifestyle habits that impede blood circulation. Many people try to change their body shape through exercise or diet control to improve this, but the results can be temporary, and rapid dieting can leave the skin sagging. For these reasons, a growing number of people choose liposuction after consulting with medical staff.Liposuction is a body contouring method that selectively removes unnecessary subcutaneous fat from the area of concern to create the body line one wants. It can be effective for localized fat in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and upper arms that are hard to improve even with weight loss.However, many patients end up dissatisfied because the reduction they wanted does not occur even after fat cells are reduced, or because the fat is not removed evenly and the contour turns out uneven. To avoid disappointment from ineffective liposuction surgery, what is needed is not simply removing fat cells without thought, but the know-how to remove fat while taking the overall proportion and contour into account.Stem cell liposuction is a liposuction method that preserves the growth factors within stem cells. It is a surgery that targets only subcutaneous fat precisely, leaving untouched the fat that protects the skin, and removes imbalanced fat cells. By preserving stem cells that promote the regeneration of elastic fibers, the empty space left after the fat layer is removed can adhere more closely, raising elasticity and the speed of regeneration, and minimizing the risk of side effects such as an uneven contour or swelling. In addition, a blood test before surgery is used to anticipate bleeding, and a recovery promotion system is applied to help patients return to daily life quickly after surgery.The skill of the medical staff performing the surgery can also affect the result. Rather than suctioning a large amount of fat without thought, it is important to find medical staff who can check the specific contour during surgery and carry out the surgery you actually need. To raise the safety and satisfaction of surgery, it is advisable to consult in advance with medical staff who have abundant clinical experience and know-how.Written by.
