People who have a perfect S-line body but have sagging and lumpy skin, and people who have a somewhat thick body but boast firm and smooth skin. If you had to choose between the two, which would you choose more? Is there anyone who can be satisfied only with their body, without caring about their skin?

There was a time when a celebrity lost weight and became slim in a short period of time. However, as a result, celebrities were reluctant to reveal their bodies to the public. This is because excessive weight loss drastically reduces skin elasticity, making the skin saggy and wrinkled. Instead of getting a great body, I heard rumors of sudden aging and skin tightening to maintain skin elasticity after the damage.

No one wants to sacrifice their skin to have a great body. However, even if liposuction is performed, will the skin actually sag or become unattractively bumpy?

Sagging skin can actually be improved

Many people worry that liposuction will cause their skin to sag. There are some people who are convinced that they have no choice but to fall. He uses his imagination to explain logically why he has no choice but to fail.

“If it hardens, the skin will sag. It’s stretched out like leather or a hanbok jeogori, but if you remove the fat, won’t it inevitably become more saggy? When deflating a rubber balloon

Unless you actually experience it and see it with your own eyes, you may only imagine it that way. But the reality is different. Rather, when most people lose unnecessary fat, the skin that had saggy due to the weight of the fat lifts up and becomes tighter. During surgery, the skin layer is stimulated and adhesion occurs between subcutaneous tissues, which causes the skin to be pulled upward. Therefore, even people who are severely obese and have bulging arms or abdomen, like a housewife, can regain elasticity through liposuction.

“I can’t believe it. They say that if the surgery is done incorrectly, it will sag.”

There have been many rumors that liposuction causes sagging skin, so many people do not believe it even when it is explained to them. Of course, not everyone has dramatic skin tightness. Some people are disappointed because they do not meet their expectations. Such people are usually those whose skin elasticity was originally very poor. But even for those people, the overall situation is much better than before liposuction.

We can speak clearly about sagging skin. Sagging skin is definitely improved. Even if skin elasticity was not good to begin with, it rarely gets worse with liposuction. This is a conclusion obtained through long-term clinical experience.

“Time will resolve the dreaminess that appears in some people.”

In addition to sagging skin, the biggest concern is whether the skin will become bumpy. Unlike skin sagging, it cannot be said that skin becoming bumpy will never occur.

The problem of rough skin is closely related to technology. Liposuction requires very keen senses and sophisticated skills. When removing fat, if too much is removed from one area and too little is removed from another area, the skin surface becomes uneven. When performing liposuction, fat should be sucked evenly from the fat layer beneath the skin surface to maintain a smooth skin surface. This does not mean removing the skin thoroughly and directly looking at the fat layer, but it must be judged based on dexterity and the feel of the hand.

Causes and solutions to the problem of rough skin

Rugged skin is mainly related to technical issues. If the surgeon performing the surgery lacks technical skills, bumps may occur, and if too much fat is removed or suction is imbalanced, there is a high possibility that the skin surface will become uneven.

This problem can also occur when collagen production, which affects skin elasticity, is not smooth during the recovery process, or when skin recovery is delayed after surgery. In general, the skin may show some bumps, but in most cases, it recovers 100% over time, and the bumps usually gradually resolve over about 2 to 3 weeks.

Is the cause of the bumps due to adhesion or not?

After liposuction, some people experience a bumpy appearance of the skin and may attribute it to adhesion between the skin and the fat layer. However, in reality, most of the causes of bumps after liposuction surgery are due to technical reasons. Adhesions can occur when the skin adheres to tissue in a specific area, but if a specialist uses appropriate surgical techniques and provides good follow-up care, the possibility of adhesions can be significantly reduced.

If adhesions are suspected, improvement can be achieved with physical therapy or appropriate massage therapy. Therefore, when a problem with uneven skin occurs, it is important to review various causes and consult with an expert rather than assuming it is adhesion.

If I get liposuction, will I be unable to go out due to pain and swelling?

“Can I get liposuction today and go to work tomorrow? I heard that liposuction causes swelling. Wouldn’t it be difficult to go to work if it swells too much?”

People who have managed to get liposuction out of their busy time always ask this question. Of course, recovery speed may vary from person to person, but in most cases, some swelling and bruising will occur after liposuction.
