Liposuction is a popular procedure for people who struggle
to see results with diet and exercise alone.
It is known for quickly improving the size and shape
of stubborn areas that resist conventional weight loss efforts.
In particular, liposuction can be effective for those
with severe obesity, as it helps reduce overall body volume,
and also benefits those with localized fat,
such as people who have plateaued with workouts or meal plans.
As a result, it has become one of the most commonly chosen
cosmetic procedures in recent years.
However, not everyone will see dramatic results from liposuction.
Those with low muscle mass, higher fat density,
and good skin elasticity tend to respond better.
Age can also influence results—
so a detailed preoperative consultation is essential.
This patient underwent abdominal liposuction
to address abdominal obesity,
and successfully achieved a narrower waistline.
Let’s take a closer look at her transformation
through this case analysis.
[Patient Information]
Age: 20s
Occupation: Office worker
Height: 164cm
*Note: Even with similar body measurements,
results may vary from person to person.
This patient experienced a 6kg weight gain
prior to surgery, which led to increased abdominal fat
and caused her significant stress.
Body analysis showed the following characteristics:
1. The patient had a fat-dominant body type,
with more fat volume than muscle mass overall.
2. She had good skin elasticity,
which suggested a positive outcome from liposuction.
3. Even before surgery, her waistline was already defined,
which allowed us to enhance that feature further.
Based on these traits,
we proposed the following abdominal liposuction plan:
1. Perform large-volume fat removal
to highlight her naturally slim waistline.
2. Focus on suctioning the love handles and lower abdomen,
to create a more balanced abdominal contour.
Below is a comparison photo
taken before and 2 weeks after abdominal liposuction.

· Surgical Area: Abdomen
· Liposuction Volume: 3,500cc
The patient underwent abdominal liposuction
to achieve a more slim and defined waistline.
At the 2-week follow-up,
despite visible bruising, swelling,
and the presence of BioBond,
the results were already clear.
Since she originally had a naturally shaped waist,
the surgery focused on suctioning fat mainly from the
love handles and lower abdomen,
where fat was more heavily concentrated.
This resulted in a visibly sharper waistline
even in the early recovery stage.
Although the patient had experienced recent weight gain
before the surgery,
she maintained good skin elasticity
and showed no signs of abdominal wall laxity,
making her an ideal candidate for liposuction.
To maintain her results,
we advised her to wear compression garments
for about 3 months,
follow a balanced and healthy diet,
and incorporate light to moderate exercise.
Because recovery management plays a major role
in the final outcome of liposuction,
we emphasized the importance of consistent aftercare
for the best long-term results.
Most importantly, we reminded her that
a successful outcome starts with a thorough consultation,
including body analysis and a personalized
surgical plan tailored to her goals.
