Liposuction

In South Korea, liposuction has become one of the most popular procedures to tone up your muscles, to increase the elasticity of skin and to treat cellulite and micro fat in your body. It has become an innovative way to sculpt the body into a more desirable shape or size by removing unwanted, excess fat.

Although there are various types of body contouring lifts, in most cases liposuction alone is enough to treat flabby parts of the body since the degree of skin shrinkage is generally quite significant after liposuction. It is also crucial to note that post-operative care is more important than pre-operative care. Patients must consult with certified doctors first before considering any type of liposuction. Liposuction can be performed on various parts of the body. The most common types of liposuction are:


Arm Liposuction

1.What is it?

Arm liposuction is a procedure to fine-tune flabby upper arms. This procedure will help reduce fat in upper arms caused by aging, drastic weight loss/gain or vitamin deficiencies. If you are considering getting Liposuction in Korea, read on!

2.Who needs it?

For some people, exercising alone is not enough to reduce or get rid of flabby upper arms. Many patients who choose this surgery do so because they wish to confidently wear sleeveless dresses.

3.Surgery Procedure

Small incisions are made near the elbow or the armpit to remove unwanted fat and tighten underlying tissues giving a lasting appearance of youth and vigor.


Thigh & Hip Liposuction

1.What is it?

This procedure is for people who have an unusually high accumulation of fat around their thighs. Thick thighs are caused by various factors such as lack of exercise, irregular eating habits and even genetics.

2.Who needs it?

You may be a candidate if the lower part of your body is asymmetrically large compared to the upper part of your body. With this procedure, one can look taller and be more confident wearing skirts and skinny jeans.

3.Surgery Procedure

First, your surgeon will determine which parts of your thigh will be operated on: front, back (hips), inside or outside. After the liposuction, you will be required to wear elastic shapewear to help sustain the sudden change to your body and to aid in the healing and recovery process.


Waist & Abdomen Liposuction

1.What is it?

As opposed to tummy tucks in Western countries, liposuction around the waist and abdomen is performed with minimal incisions in South Korea. It is common to have the two liposuctions simultaneously to achieve an overall harmony of the bodyline.

2.Who needs it?

Potbelly or protruding love handles experienced during midlife can be a source of stress and psychological problems prompting one to seek a remedy. Also, after giving multiple births, exercising alone is not always enough to entirely get rid of belly fat. Candidates meeting these criteria can benefit from this procedure.

3.Surgery Procedure

In order to remove excess fat from the affected areas, small incisions are made near the belly button or below the belly, which will hide the scar inside your underwear. After the liposuction, you will be required to wear elastic shapewear to help sustain the sudden change in your body and to aid in the healing and recovery process.
