What is Liposuction in Korea?
Liposuction, or simply lipo, is a type of cosmetic surgery that removes fat from the human body in an attempt to improve its body contour. Liposuction safely removes excessively accumulated body fat with sound wave pressure, ultrasonic waves and laser. In the process of removing the fat layer, excess fat cells are discharged out of the body to create a well-balanced body line. Liposuction Surgery has a high satisfaction level by completing a flawless and perfect S-line body contour. Liposuction can be performed alone or along with other plastic surgery procedures, such as facial surgeries, breast surgery, or abdominoplasty. Liposuction is not only for removing the excessive fat but also for making beautiful body line and boosting the confidence in your body.
