Liposuction

Despite good health and a reasonable level of fitness, some people may still have a body with disproportionate contours due to localized fat deposits.
Liposuction slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits, improving your body contours and proportion, and ultimately, enhancing your self-image.

Liposuction techniques are used to reduce localized fat deposits of
  -Cheeks and neck
  -Upper arms, chest area, and breast
  -Abdomen
  -Waist
  -Buttocks
  -Thighs
  -Calves and ankles

At BK , we provide 3-steps systematic care to make and maintain a well-shaped body.

3-steps liposuction

1. Pre-operative care program
- Evaluate the shape of body using fat measuring instrument
- Endemologie(lipomassage)
-Exact fat measurement by ultrasonograph
-Skin elasticity measurement

2. Surgical liposuction
- Ultrasonic assisted liposuction procedure
- Lipometic assisted suction procedure
- Radio frequency assisted liposuction procedure
- Delicate liposuction procedure by cannula(thin hollow tube)

3. Post-operative care program
-Pain free aftercare conducted by anesthetist
-Free hospitalization for your convenient recovery
-Equipped shower bath
-Endemologie(lipomassage)
-Helium laser treatment
-Fat measurement after the surgery
-Skin elasticity measurement after the surgery

 

To sum up,

1. Evaluate the shape of body through scientific measurement to find the most suitable surgical method

2. Complete fat removing through liposuction surgery

3. Making well-shaped body through various postoperative cares

Calf Reduction

Thick muscular legs are a common aesthetic problem for Asian women. Korean use a term “radish-like leg” to describe this problem. Women with "radish-like legs" look shorter or more obese than they really are because of their thick legs. They are embarrassed to show their legs even in the summer time.
The cause of "radish-like legs" is more often excessive development of calf muscle, in stead of fat accumulation. This is different from enlarged abdomen, buttocks, and thigh, which is often due to increased fat accumulation and can therefore be effectively treated with liposuction. However, liposuction is ineffective to deal with calf muscle hypertrophy because the problem is in the muscle, not fat.

There are various surgical ways to reduce the calves, but we perform two kind of surgery which are the most effective and safe- selective neurectomy and radio frequency calf reduction.

Selective Neurectomy
Selective neurectomy is completed by cutting the nerve that controls the gastrocnemius muscle, which is located at the back of the calf and is visible on the leg, to enable it to atrophy, and therefore decrease the volume and size of the calf.
The advantages of selective neurectomy are that it is a faster procedure it is less invasive with a quicker recovery time. The result is obvious after 3 to 6 months.

High Frequency Calf Reduction
This calf reduction surgery method uses high frequency energy to induce death of tissue of the gastrocnemius muscle, and thus reduce calf size.
The procedure is quick and simple; there is no scar, only some injections marks.
Except for exercise, after the operation, patients only need 1 to 7 days to return to their daily activities.
The final results of calf contour vary, the circumference of the calf is reduced approximately 4 to 8 cm.
High frequency method for calf reduction gives a better and more predictable result than Selective Neurectomy.
