What Is Body Liposuction?

Reshaping targeted areas — not a substitute for weight loss.

Liposuction removes excess fat through small incisions using specialized cannulas. Rather than serving as a weight-loss procedure, it is intended to reshape targeted areas and improve overall body proportions. It may be appropriate for people with localized fat resistant to diet and exercise who are close to their target body weight, want contour improvement rather than weight loss, and maintain realistic expectations.

Results

A more defined silhouette, angle by angle.

Individual results vary. Photos are examples shown with patient consent and are not a guarantee of outcome.

Frequently Asked

Liposuction in Busan
— your questions, answered.

Is liposuction a weight-loss procedure?
No. Rather than serving as a weight-loss procedure, liposuction is intended to reshape targeted areas and improve overall body proportions. It is generally considered for people close to their target body weight.
Which body areas can be treated?
Commonly treated areas include the abdomen, waist and flanks, inner and outer thighs, upper arms, back, hips, and buttock contour, along with other localized fat deposits.
How long is recovery?
Recovery varies according to the treatment area and extent of the procedure. Temporary swelling, bruising, soreness, and the use of compression garments are common.
Will scars be visible?
Liposuction is performed through small incisions, so scars are typically small. Their location and appearance depend on the treated areas and your healing, and should be discussed during consultation.
Can liposuction be combined with other body contouring procedures?
Combined approaches are considered in some patients depending on skin laxity, fat distribution, and goals. Whether a combination is appropriate is determined after examination.
Who may benefit from liposuction?
It may be appropriate for people with localized fat resistant to diet and exercise, who want contour improvement rather than weight loss, seek balanced proportions, are close to their target weight, and maintain realistic expectations.
Will liposuction tighten loose skin?
Liposuction addresses fat rather than excess skin. When skin laxity is the main concern, a different or additional procedure may be more appropriate — this is assessed during consultation.
Can I go home the same day?
Same-day discharge is possible for appropriate patients. Whether it applies to you depends on the extent of treatment and your medical assessment.
How is the treatment plan decided?
Treatment is customized by body area and supported by a personalized body balance analysis, so the plan reflects your proportions rather than a standard protocol.
