Liposuction is a procedure that removes unwanted fat from the body using suction. It is especially effective for stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise, such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and flanks.

The primary purpose of liposuction is body contouring rather than weight loss. While it reduces the number of fat cells in treated areas, maintaining healthy eating habits and regular exercise is important to prevent remaining fat cells from enlarging.

Common treatment areas include the abdomen (upper, lower, and flanks), thighs (front, back, inner, outer), arms, back, knees, and under the chin. The treatment plan is customized based on each patient’s body shape and fat distribution.

Liposuction may be performed under sedation anesthesia or general anesthesia. The safest method is selected depending on the treatment area, fat volume, and the patient’s overall condition.

Most patients can return to daily activities within 3 to 7 days, although recovery time may vary depending on individual healing and the extent of the procedure.

After surgery, muscle-ache–like soreness may occur, but discomfort is usually manageable with prescribed pain relievers and gradually subsides over time.

Yes. Wearing a compression garment is essential to reduce swelling, support proper skin adhesion, and help create a smoother and more refined body contour.

The fat cells removed during liposuction do not regenerate. However, overeating or lack of exercise may cause the remaining fat cells to enlarge, so maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important.

Yes. Harvested fat can be reused for fat grafting procedures such as breast, facial, or buttock augmentation, and may also be combined with stem cell treatments if appropriate.

Liposuction focuses on removing fat and is most effective when skin elasticity is good. Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles, making it suitable for patients with significant sagging after pregnancy or weight loss.

A scar is typically located along the lower abdomen or panty line. It fades over time and can usually be concealed under underwear.

Yes. A Mini Tummy Tuck is suitable for mild sagging limited to the lower abdomen and uses a smaller incision. A Full Tummy Tuck addresses more extensive skin and muscle laxity across the entire abdomen.

Yes. Depending on skin elasticity, fat volume, and overall condition, abdominoplasty and partial liposuction can be safely combined for optimal results.
