SD Transfusion System
We operate an SD transfusion system so that recovery is safe even after major surgery.
TheLINE
Clear, defined contours with minimal pain and scarring
Since 2007, 80,000 cases over 19 years
SVF Liposuction
TheLINE SVF Liposuction removes the fat while preserving the SVF inside it.

It is stem cell liposuction that removes the fat while preserving the SVF within it. SVF is a cell population within adipose tissue that is rich in stem cells, and preserving its growth factors during extraction supports regeneration in the treated area.
Because the fat that protects the skin and internal organs is left untouched and only the precise mid-layer of subcutaneous fat is selectively removed. Preserving the SVF helps the empty space in the fat layer adhere more closely, which also supports firmness and regeneration.
TheLINE has performed 80,000 body contouring cases over 19 years since 2007. All those years devoted solely to fat and SVF go into every step of harvesting, processing and extraction.
Chief directors with an average of more than 31 years of experience operate personally, and the surgeons who operate take responsibility for managing the outcome of every surgery.
Harvested fat is separated and purified immediately at Cell Matrix Lab, TheLINE's in-house fresh SVF laboratory. Research that also considers patient well-being is what led to SVF body contouring.
Liposuction Safety System
We have three systems in place to safely maximize every injection and extraction.
We operate an SD transfusion system so that recovery is safe even after major surgery.
For safe anesthesia, a board-certified anesthesiologist takes exclusive charge of anesthesia.
We also run an emergency call system so you have peace of mind even after surgery is over.
Since 2007, 80,000 Cases
Chief directors with an average of more than 31 years of experience operate personally.
※ The figure of 80,000 cases is the clinic's cumulative total since 2007. The outcome of every surgery is managed under the responsibility of the operating surgeon.
TheLINE Body Surgeons
Principle, focus, precision, and a wealth of surgical experience.
Global Premium Liposuction
Only surgeons proven for consistent results and body lines may operate.

Global Premium Liposuction
We operate a tiered liposuction system in which only surgeons who have completed the Global Premium Liposuction program are permitted to operate.

31-year average
As a body contouring focused clinic, chief directors with an average of more than 31 years of experience operate and take responsibility for managing the surgical outcome.

Research · Education
We research fat and SVF ourselves, present at academic conferences, teach surgical techniques, and innovate in liposuction.
※ Every surgeon performing liposuction or fat grafting at TheLINE Plastic Surgery has completed the TheLINE Global Liposuction Academy training program and passed its examination.
Hidden Incision
You may forget the memory of surgery, but the scar remains.
ARM
The entire arm is treated through a single small incision hidden within the natural crease on the back of each arm.
FRONT BODY
A single small incision placed between the creases of both pelvic lines allows liposuction all the way down to the knees.
BACK BODY
A single discreet incision near the sacral dimple enables liposuction from the waist down to the legs.
※ The procedure is performed using a long cannula of up to 100 cm developed by Dr. Jaeho Cho himself, and thanks to advanced liposuction technique multiple incisions are not necessary.
Liposuction Volume
It is an advanced technique in which only a minimal amount of solution is injected so the surgeon can assess contour changes directly while extracting.
※ Using too much solution makes it hard for the surgeon to sense contour changes and difficult to identify exactly which areas the fat is being removed from. The fat that must protect the skin and internal organs is preserved, and only the maximum amount of unnecessary pure fat is extracted to reduce contour irregularities.
Liposuction Equipment
Precise handmade craftsmanship with safety-verified equipment.
※ Pump-assisted extraction devices that remove large volumes in a short time allow fat to be extracted quickly and safely regardless of the body area, and when necessary laser and ultrasound equipment is used to tighten loose skin during extraction.
Body Line Conditions
Experienced surgeons first predict five conditions through visual and tactile examination.
SUBCUTANEOUS FAT
Sufficient fat beneath the skin secures the volume that can be removed and makes the change in contour more pronounced.
LOW MUSCLE MASS
In a muscular body type, the reduction in volume after fat removal is relatively smaller.
STRONG FASCIA
The firmer the fascia, the better it holds the contour without the tissue sagging after fat is removed.
SKIN ELASTICITY
The better the skin elasticity, the more smoothly the remaining space adheres after extraction.
SVF RECOVERY
Even when the four preceding conditions fall short, using SVF leaves room to compensate in recovery and firmness.
※ All medical staff at TheLINE have completed visual and tactile examination training based on data from 80,000 cases.
Selective Middle-Layer Liposuction
What is removed and what is preserved determines bruising, swelling and firmness.
The fat that protects the skin and the fat that surrounds the internal organs are left untouched. It is an advanced technique that selectively removes only the mid-layer of subcutaneous fat in between.
Sweeping through every layer indiscriminately thins the skin and leaves it uneven. Because what should remain is preserved, bruising and swelling are minimal.
An empty space is left where the fat has been removed. Preserving the SVF and its growth factors helps that space adhere closely so the tissue settles back into place.
Firmness and regenerative capacity in the treated area improve together. That is why the fat is removed and the SVF is preserved.
※ Liposuction that preserves the growth factors within the SVF allows us to manage the result, the speed of recovery and overall condition together. The degree of change may vary from person to person.
Verified Safe Anesthesia
We verify the safety of anesthesia through four check points.

※ TheLINE premium safe anesthesia also manages recovery so that patients can awaken clearly even after long surgeries.
SVF Liposuction Body Areas
From head to toe, here are the eight signature areas for SAFE SVF Liposuction.
Flank + saddlebags
Fat is removed from the flanks and saddlebags and grafted into the pelvis, shaping the continuous line from the waist to the pelvis. About 3 hours, performed under sedation.
Jaw · Chin Lipo+Lift
Fat in the jaw and double chin is removed through a micro-opening below the ear to refine the jawline. The treated area is then lifted to tighten the jawline and prevent sagging. About 1 hour, performed under sedation.
270-degree arm
Through a micro-incision inside the armpit, the arm is treated 270 degrees around to create a continuous line from the shoulder to the upper arm. About 2 hours, performed under sedation.
Abdomen + flanks
Through small incisions at the pelvic crease and the tailbone, the abdomen, flanks and bra line are treated 360 degrees around. About 3 hours, performed under sedation.
Thigh + knee
A single micro-incision at the tailbone allows treatment of the entire thigh and the inner-knee Chanel line. About 3 hours, performed under sedation.
Scapula · ankles
Narrow and demanding areas such as the shoulder blades, hump, buffalo hump and ankles are treated with precision. About 1 to 2 hours each, performed under sedation.
Chest · abdomen
From gynecomastia and abdomen and love handle liposuction to abdominal definition, the plan is designed for the male body. About 2 hours per area, performed under sedation.
Contour · adhesion
We correct unevenness and adhesions left by liposuction performed elsewhere. Depending on the condition it is performed under sedation or general anesthesia, and the quote is provided after consultation.
