Speedy Liposuction

Proper Liposuction does not cause pain!

Proper liposuction should be painless.

Most fat layers are in the space between the skin and the fascia (white membrane tissue that covers the muscle), and have largely no innervation to feel the pain. Cells that perceive pain plentifully reside in the skin and the fascia. Thus, moving a suction cannular only in the fat layer softly suctioning the adipose tissues would not cause pain. Looking at the fat collected from liposuction tells whether the procedure has been performed well.

These two pictures on the side show that there is almost no blood in the fat. One may guess that only fat tissues have been well suctioned without touching the nerve or vessels.

Dr. Young Shin Cho, Hospital Director of Young Clinic, performs liposuction concurrently with AccuSculpt laser procedure to remove the fat effectively while improving elasticity of the skin.
Dr. Cho pursues natural appearance to the extent of being inconspicuous and the beautiful and artistic body line. With a mindset of an artist, Dr. Young Shin Cho, herself performs surgery one patient a day.

Abdominal liposuction
블릿A 30-year old woman, followed up for observations three months after abdominal liposuction (3,150 cc)
The upper abdomen is incised approximately 5 mm in the inner aspect of the navel and the corresponding fat tissues are removed. Liposuction is carried out by making incisions on the inside of the navel in the lower abdomen and the external aspect of the thigh around the panty line. The fat layer of the abdomen is different from that of the other areas and the procedure must be carried out carefully in order to prevent the adverse effect of uneven bumpy skin of the abdomen. The “love handle” and flank areas should also be included in the procedure to attain a beautiful abdominal line. The adipose tissues in the upper abdomen and the flank are quite hard, making liposuction largely difficult. This requires surgical know-how and good skill.

Forearm liposuction
블릿A 34-year old woman, followed up for observations 6 weeks after Forearm liposuction
Make incisions on the folded portion of the armpit and a suction cannula is inserted and then the fat cells are removed from the forearm.
This is a preferred approach since Asian women have much fat in the hind part of the forearm.
A beautiful arm line is made when patients undergo liposuction in the shoulder line and the armpit, connected to the forearm, together with the back area at the same time.
These are the areas where an operator’s experience and delicate skill play a large role.
Furthermore, these are areas where the lifting procedure is required to prevent sagging after surgery.
All of the procedure including aesthetic sensibility and sensitive manipulation skill of an operator’s hands must be perfect.

Liposuction of the back
블릿A 35-year old woman, followed up for observations 22 months after Forearm,back liposuction
It is difficult to reduce fat in the back. However, liposuction is effective.
Liposuction appears to be easy because of the flat shape of the back. Nevertheless, its skin is thick while the fibrous tissues and fat cells are tangled together, making cannular insertion and liposuction difficult. Patients should undergo surgery performed by a skilled operator with abundant experience.
Also, the recommendation is that liposuction be carried out to all connected areas of the armpit, the arms and the “love handle” area simultaneously.

Liposuction of the thigh
블릿A 32-year old woman, followed up for observations 5 months after thigh liposuction(1,800cc)
Liposuction of the thigh is carried out along the panty line at which the hips get folded. An inconspicuous area is minimally incised for the procedure. Patients with a thigh circumference of 60 cm or greater or maximal suction amount of 5,000 cc may largely be corrected with a single surgical procedure.
Owing to the fact that a beautiful thigh line is directly linked to the hips, preoperative consultation is necessary to find out whether liposuction of the hips should also be carried out.

Liposuction of the calf

Liposuction of the calf
블릿A 23-year old woman, followed up for observations 1 month after calf liposuction(each -3cm reduced)
The calf has a rounded shape and a single fat layer, unlike the fat layers of the other areas.
Thus, it is difficult area to approach easily even for operators with lots of liposuction experience.
Furthermore, liposuction should also be carried out evenly to the areas in the periphery of the Achilles tendon, the ankle bone and the frontal aspect of the calf in order to achieve a beautiful calf line.
In cases where patients have much fat and developed musculature, the concurrent operations of liposuction and muscle recession must be performed to achieve the optimal effect.

Liposuction of the hip
Liposuction of the hip and the waist is done by making an incision on the inner aspect of the panty line.
Normally, 500~1,000 cc of the adipose tissues are suctioned off. The hip is an area filled with tight fibrous tissues that make liposuction of the hip difficult.
Also, a proper amount of fat cells should remain in the pelvis to yield a feminine beauty line of the hip.
It is a difficult area since there are many reoperation-requiring patients who have undergone too much liposuction of the hip at other clinics.

Liposuction of the face

This procedure is appropriate for patients with a chubby cheeks. The face liposuction should be meticulously performed. Thus, microcannular liposuction is largely performed by utilizing AccuSculpt laser via hand manipulation.

Dr. Cho’s principles of speedy liposuction


Why do we prefer a speedy liposuction at Young Clinic?

Liposuction and fat grafting, carried out precisely in the adipose tissue layer, minimize damage to the other tissues and reduce edema and bruise, and enhance speedy recovery.
Since most surgical procedures at Young Clinic is a walk out procedure for uninterrupted daily activity and do not increase a large burden on the body, recovery is fast and the outcome is dramatic. Hence, it is referred to as “speedy liposuction.”

Comprehensive approach to lipoplasty

Lipoplasty, such as liposuction or fat grafting is a blind technique.
It is a quite difficult procedure, performed by merely with the sensitivity of the hands in the invisible fat layer underneath the skin.
Only an operator with delicate hand skills with highly delicate finger sensitivity may possibly perform such procedure through
a long suction cannula feeling the fat layer.
Lipoplasty requires born hand sensitivity, long-practices and training, as well as artistic sensibility, despite the significance of many experiences.

Liposuction involves the horizontal technique of moving a cannula, forward and backward through the fat later.
Tilting the cannula may increase the possibility of touching the fascia.
Proper horizontal manipulation of the cannula in the fat layer would not cause pain.
Increased pain or bruise during liposuction means the cannula has touched the other areas such as the fascia or the muscle.
Well-performed liposuction largely causes neither pain nor bruise.

Naturally, there should not be edema. Excessive liposuction causes adverse effects of adhesion or bumpy skin.
Thus, it is more important how well an operator leaves the adipose tissues.
Surgical procedure should leave a proper amount of the adipose tissues while focusing on making a gorgeous curvature of the body.

In fat grafting, the adipose tissues should be transplanted to the precise area and evenly distributed in order to prevent the adverse effect of uneven bumpy skins.
Furthermore, one must have a profound attainment toward beauty itself to prevent imbalance of the appearance, caused by excessive fat grafting.
Also, effectiveness may be heightened by best efforts. This is done by taking a proper step to increase the survival rate of adipose tissues.

The success of lipoplasty, as opposed to any other plastic surgery,
largely depends on “the operator” who performs the procedure.
