Excess waist and flank fat
There is little curve between the waist and hips, so the silhouette looks almost straight from the side and the feminine curve is barely visible.

Even if you are not naturally born with wide hips, and without shaving any bone, TheLINE's remarkable body contouring technique transforms a flat, straight figure into an S-line silhouette.

Waist to Saddlebags: can you get an S-line without shaving bone?
It is TheLINE's body contouring surgery, in which waist liposuction, hip fat grafting and saddlebag liposuction are planned together in a single operation.
- 01
What kind of surgery is Waist to Saddlebags?
It is TheLINE's signature surgery, combining waist (flank) liposuction, hip fat grafting and saddlebag liposuction in one session. Even if you were not born with wide hips, and without shaving any bone, a flat, straight figure is reshaped toward an S-line.
- 02
Why is it called a 3D line?
A slim waist, defined hips and long, straight legs are treated as one whole. The areas to be reduced and the areas to be filled are not planned separately; the body is designed three-dimensionally.
- 03
What makes SVF liposuction different?
SVF separated from the harvested fat is applied to the suctioned area and is also used with the fat to be grafted. It suits Waist to Saddlebags particularly well, since liposuction and fat grafting are handled together in one surgery.
- 04
Why have it done at TheLINE?
Since 2007, for 19 years, we have focused solely on SVF liposuction and fat grafting, accumulating 80,000 body contouring cases. We use the long cannula of up to 100cm developed by Dr. Jaeho Cho, hidden incisions, and selective suction of the middle fat layer.
- 05
How much does it cost?
The EVENT price starts at 6,600,000 KRW and varies by surgeon. VAT, blood test, compression garment and additional weight are charged separately.
Recommendation Target
Waist to Saddlebags is recommended for these body types
Most East Asian body types have a straight line with minimal curve between the waist and hips, and in lower-body-heavy types the saddlebags make the legs look shorter.
Underdeveloped or narrow hips
Hip volume is insufficient, so the waistline is not emphasized, or a noticeably indented hip dip stands out at the side of the hip.
Prominent saddlebags
A lower-body-heavy type in which outer thigh fat, known as saddlebags, stands out and creates a proportion that makes the legs look shorter.
Waist Hip Saddlebag Solution
Waist, hips and saddlebags: how is the line reshaped?
Signature Waist to Saddlebags is planned in three steps, separating the areas to be reduced from the areas to be filled.
-
FLANK LIPOSUCTION
SVF flank liposuction
Flank fat is removed as much as possible to create a curve between the waist and the hips. This is the starting point where the difference in the line begins to show, even in body types without wide hips.
-
HIP FAT GRAFT
SVF fat grafting to the hip line, including the pelvic area
The harvested fat is grafted together with SVF into the hip and buttock line to bring out the contour. If there is a deeply indented hip dip, targeted correction of the hip dip is recommended.
-
SADDLEBAG LIPOSUCTION
SVF saddlebag liposuction
The protruding saddlebags are contoured into a straighter line, changing the proportion of the leg length. Even when the waist is not naturally narrow, wider hips make the silhouette far more dramatic.
Expected Results
What changes can you expect after Waist to Saddlebags surgery?
We have organized the contour changes gained from liposuction separately from what changes in the procedure when SVF is added.
- S-line Reducing the flanks and filling the hips brings the silhouette closer to a curvy S-line, like a cola bottle.
- Length As the saddlebags are contoured, the proportions make the legs appear longer.
- Body line The upper and lower body come into balance, so the overall body proportion looks noticeably better.
- Volume Using SVF allows a larger volume of fat to be removed while keeping the procedure safe.
- Recovery Bruising, swelling and pain tend to be reduced, which eases the burden of recovery.
- Smoothness Liposuction can be carried out toward smooth, even lines without irregularities.
- Survival rate The survival rate of the fat grafted into the hips improves. Patients who have had the surgery are the first to feel the regenerative benefits of SVF.
