Liposuction

While dieting and other body contouring treatments only reduce the "size" of fat cells, liposuction physically removes fat cells themselves. After puberty, the number of fat cells remains nearly constant, and removed cells do not regenerate, making rebound less likely. Additionally, the ability to concentrate treatment on specific areas you wish to slim—such as the abdomen, thighs, and upper arms—is a major difference from dieting, which relies on overall weight loss.

While there is individual variation, bruising, swelling, and edema generally occur for 1–2 weeks post-operatively. Compression garments (corsets, etc.) are typically worn for 1–2 months. Most patients return to desk work within 3–7 days, and intense exercise and bathing (soaking in a tub) should be avoided for 2–4 weeks post-operatively as a guideline. Final results may take 3–6 months to stabilize. Please confirm details during your consultation.

Liposuction using local anesthesia (tumescent anesthesia technique) significantly reduces bleeding volume, greatly improving safety. However, there is a possibility of bruising, swelling, skin irregularities, and temporary sensory numbness. Rare complications such as skin necrosis, infection, and hematoma have been reported, making it important that an experienced specialist performs appropriate aspiration volume and site selection. During pre-operative consultation, we confirm medical history, current medications, and body type, and proceed with surgery only after carefully assessing suitability.

Please make a reservation via LINE or phone. For first-time patients, we provide a complimentary consultation, during which our physician will carefully explain the treatment area, volume of aspiration, anesthesia method, downtime, and other details. It is helpful to note your desired areas and body concerns beforehand to ensure a smooth consultation.
