Liposuction directly removes fat cells
from areas with excess fat accumulation,
reshaping the body into a more ideal proportion.
Rather than aiming for an extremely slim figure,
many now seek a balanced body contour
that fits their natural frame and muscle tone.
To plan the surgery effectively,
we consider factors such as bone structure,
muscle volume, fat characteristics,
and skin elasticity.
This helps guide patients with realistic expectations
based on their unique body type.
Patients who undergo surgery
only to “lose weight” or “drop a clothing size”
without understanding these individual factors
may end up disappointed.
The human body is never perfectly symmetrical.
Even with the same height and weight,
fat volume and muscle mass differ.
Skin elasticity also varies greatly
depending on age and lifestyle.
Insisting on large-volume liposuction
without understanding these variables
can lead to unsatisfying shapes,
asymmetry, sagging, or even skin dents and wrinkles.
Today’s featured case involves
a patient who underwent both abdominal
and thigh liposuction,
successfully improving her upper and lower body proportions.
Let’s look at her before and after photos
to see the visible changes.
[Patient Profile]
Age: Mid-20s
Occupation: Freelancer
Height: 173cm
Weight: 68kg
BMI: 23
※ Results may vary even with similar body types.
Through a detailed body type diagnosis,
we identified several key features
in the patient’s overall physique.
1.She showed mild skin laxity
across multiple areas.
2.Visually, her body type leaned toward
central obesity, with noticeable abdominal fat.
3.However, due to visceral fat pushing outward,
the abdominal wall protruded slightly,
and there was limited fat available
in the front abdomen for liposuction.
4.In the love handle area,
fat volume was also relatively low.
5.The waistline appeared slightly twisted,
creating a mild asymmetry.
She had a high pelvic tilt,
resulting in a visible imbalance
between the upper and lower body.
6.The front thighs showed significant muscle development,
while the inner thighs had a considerable
amount of removable fat.
Based on this, we proposed
a personalized liposuction plan:
1.Perform abdominal liposuction
focused on refining the waistline,
combined with thigh liposuction
to restore overall body balance.
2.Given her mild skin laxity,
we planned the fat removal carefully
to avoid sagging, ensuring a
smooth and natural silhouette
between the upper and lower body.
Below are the before-and-after photos
taken one month after surgery
for both the abdomen and thighs.
[Surgical Area & Fat Removal Volume]
Surgical areas: Abdomen, inner thighs
Fat volume removed: 3,600cc
This patient underwent abdominal
and inner thigh liposuction,
with a focus on correcting left-right asymmetry
and reducing localized fat.
The goal was to achieve visible body line refinement
and restore a more balanced silhouette,
especially around the waist and inner thighs.
One month after the procedure,
despite some residual swelling,
medical photos showed clear volume reduction,
a slimmer waistline,
and defined inner thigh gaps.
The previously uneven waist
also improved through abdominal liposuction,
and the inner thighs became leaner,
bringing harmony between the upper and lower body.
As the patient is still in the recovery phase,
continued use of compression garments,
along with radiofrequency treatments,
moisturizing, and light activity,
will help manage swelling and improve skin elasticity.
This case shows great potential
for even better results with proper post-op care.
