When belly fat starts to accumulate,
the waistline collapses, and the upper body balance
quickly becomes disrupted.
Even if the overall body weight stays the same,
the lower abdominal volume alone can make
the torso look heavier and less defined.
These changes are difficult to solve
by weight loss alone, which is why
a method that directly creates line improvement
is often necessary.
In this respect, abdominal liposuction
is an effective choice for correcting
body balance.
The patient we present today
maintained a stable weight, but experienced
body shape changes when fat accumulated
around the lower abdomen.

Even with similar body specifications,
results from liposuction surgery may vary.
In this case, fat concentrated in the lower abdomen
rounded the waistline, affecting clothing fit
and creating a source of concern.
She even tried fat-dissolving injections
to refine the line, but the improvement
was not as effective as expected.
For more definite contouring correction,
she decided to undergo abdominal liposuction.
Before abdominal liposuction surgery,
the patient’s body analysis showed that
while the arms and legs were slim,
fat was concentrated in the abdomen,
making the upper body look heavier
in proportion.
In particular, lower abdominal fat
collapsed the waistline, and the hip dip
appeared sunken due to lack of volume,
making the connection line look awkward.
However, since the patient had
slightly reduced skin elasticity,
excessive fat removal could have caused
sagging after surgery.
Therefore, the surgical plan was designed
with the goal of achieving a natural line,
creating a smooth transition
from the waist to the hips
while maintaining balance.
Below are the comparison photos
taken 4 months after abdominal liposuction,
showing the degree of improvement
in the waistline contour.
Through abdominal liposuction,
the excessive fat concentrated
in the central abdomen was refined,
improving the upper body line
from an unbalanced shape
into a feminine and natural silhouette.
At 4 months post-op, comparison photos show
that the abdomen and flanks became noticeably slimmer.
The waistline was clearly defined,
and the overall body balance transformed
into a more stable and harmonious proportion.
By comparing the selfie photos provided by the patient,
we can see how the abdominal liposuction results
refined the central abdominal line,
making the waistline more defined.
The abdomen and flanks were smoothed out,
and the connection down to the pelvic line
became more feminine and balanced.
However, since this patient had low muscle mass
and slightly reduced skin elasticity,
postoperative recovery care is especially critical
to maintaining the long-term results.
At this stage, the abdominal contour
is stabilizing well, but achieving the final outcome
will still require more time.
We advised the patient to continue wearing
compression garments, managing swelling,
and maintaining light exercise and diet control
to support stable recovery
and lasting results.
