SVF Liposuction

SVF Liposuction: how is it different from conventional liposuction?

TheLINE SVF Liposuction removes the fat while preserving the SVF inside it.

  1. 01

    What is SVF Liposuction?

    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.

  2. 02

    Why is there less pain, bruising and swelling?

    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.

  3. 03

    How long have you been doing this?

    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.

  4. 04

    Who performs the surgery?

    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.

  5. 05

    Where is the SVF processed?

    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

Can the maximum amount of fat be removed safely?

We have three systems in place to safely maximize every injection and extraction.

SD Transfusion System

We operate an SD transfusion system so that recovery is safe even after major surgery.

Dedicated anesthesia care

For safe anesthesia, a board-certified anesthesiologist takes exclusive charge of anesthesia.

Emergency Call System

We also run an emergency call system so you have peace of mind even after surgery is over.

TheLINE research on fat and SVF and academic conference presentations - TheLINE Plastic Surgery

Research · Education

Truly committed research

We research fat and SVF ourselves, present at academic conferences, teach surgical techniques, and innovate in liposuction.

Certificate of Premium Liposuction, tiered liposuction system certificate - TheLINE Plastic Surgery

※ 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

Where do we hide liposuction scars?

You may forget the memory of surgery, but the scar remains.

Arm liposuction hidden incision - within the crease on the back of the arm - TheLINE Plastic Surgery

ARM

Arms

The entire arm is treated through a single small incision hidden within the natural crease on the back of each arm.

Abdominal liposuction hidden incision - pelvic crease line - TheLINE Plastic Surgery

FRONT BODY

Front side

A single small incision placed between the creases of both pelvic lines allows liposuction all the way down to the knees.

Thigh liposuction hidden incision - sacral dimple - TheLINE Plastic Surgery

BACK BODY

Back side

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

Does removing more fat mean a better surgery?

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.

Volume of pure fat extracted through liposuction - TheLINE Plastic Surgery

※ 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

How much does liposuction equipment affect the result?

Precise handmade craftsmanship with safety-verified equipment.

TheLINE advanced liposuction equipment - pump-assisted extraction devices and laser and ultrasound equipment - TheLINE Plastic Surgery

※ 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

Under what conditions does a beautiful contour emerge?

Experienced surgeons first predict five conditions through visual and tactile examination.

  1. SUBCUTANEOUS FAT

    Abundant subcutaneous fat

    Sufficient fat beneath the skin secures the volume that can be removed and makes the change in contour more pronounced.

  2. LOW MUSCLE MASS

    Low muscle mass

    In a muscular body type, the reduction in volume after fat removal is relatively smaller.

  3. STRONG FASCIA

    Strong fascia

    The firmer the fascia, the better it holds the contour without the tissue sagging after fat is removed.

  4. SKIN ELASTICITY

    Good skin elasticity

    The better the skin elasticity, the more smoothly the remaining space adheres after extraction.

  5. SVF RECOVERY

    Making use of SVF recovery capacity

    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

Can the fat be removed while the SVF is preserved?

What is removed and what is preserved determines bruising, swelling and firmness.

Cross section of the fat layer - the fat that protects the skin is preserved and only the mid-layer of subcutaneous fat is selectively removed - TheLINE Plastic Surgery

What is removed and what is preserved?

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.

Cross section of the fat layer - preserving the SVF helps the empty space in the fat layer adhere closely, supporting firmness and regeneration - TheLINE Plastic Surgery

What changes when the SVF is preserved?

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.

Expected changes with SVF Liposuction - more extraction volume, recovery, smoothness, regeneration and firmness, less bruising, swelling, unevenness and scarring - TheLINE Plastic Surgery

※ 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

How is the safety of liposuction anesthesia verified?

We verify the safety of anesthesia through four check points.

JCI international healthcare accreditation across all categories (2015-2018) - TheLINE Plastic Surgery
  1. Drugs We use safe triple low-concentration drugs verified through JCI accreditation.
  2. Monitoring The patient's condition is monitored in real time until the surgery is complete.
  3. Code Blue We operate a Code Blue system that responds immediately to emergencies.
  4. General anesthesia General anesthesia is administered directly by our anesthesiology director.

※ TheLINE premium safe anesthesia also manages recovery so that patients can awaken clearly even after long surgeries.
