Balanced Line Design
The goal is not to remove as much as possible. We consider the overall silhouette balance and skin elasticity to create a natural and stable line.
ABOUT
Overview of Fat & Contouring
Fat & contouring procedures involve refining the lines of the face and body by addressing localized fat deposits. At PIAF Clinic, the focus is not on removing as much fat as possible, but on achieving a natural and stable line by considering the overall silhouette balance and skin elasticity.
For stubborn localized fat that doesn't respond well to diet and exercise, liposuction is used, while injections are employed for small areas. The method and scope are adjusted according to the area's characteristics, fat volume, and skin elasticity. Results and recovery may vary based on individual conditions, and post-procedure lifestyle management is crucial for maintaining the line.

PROCEDURES
Detailed Guide to Fat & Contouring Procedures
Facial Liposuction
Facial liposuction targets localized fat in areas such as the cheeks, buccal fat, and double chin to improve a heavy appearance and create a slender line. Since facial expression and skin elasticity are important, excessive removal is avoided, prioritizing a natural contour. Minimal incisions are often made in discreet areas, and guidance on compression band use and swelling management is provided post-procedure.

- Minimal Incision, Discreet Location
- Consideration of Expression & Elasticity

Body Liposuction
Body liposuction addresses stubborn localized fat in areas such as the abdomen, flanks (love handles), arms, thighs (inner, front, outer), back, and calves to create a smooth body line. The scope of liposuction is planned based on an assessment of fat volume and skin elasticity, prioritizing overall balance, safety, and recovery over excessive removal. Post-procedure guidance on compression garment use and management duration is customized for each individual.

Fat-Dissolving Injection
Fat-dissolving injections are considered for managing small amounts of localized fat and lines without the burden of surgery, using purpose-specific methods such as contour injections and carboxytherapy. Suitable for refining smaller areas like the double chin, arms, and abdomen, these injections are often part of multiple session programs. While they offer the advantage of no incision, the extent of change may be limited.
- No Incision, No Surgical Burden
- Small Area Management: Double Chin, Arms, Abdomen
- Purpose-Specific: Contour Injection, Carboxytherapy
- Multiple Session Programs
