We would like to introduce a case of waist liposuction (revision of surgery performed at another clinic) for a 23-year-old female patient. She had previously undergone liposuction elsewhere, but residual fat remained around her waist, and she visited our clinic concerned that her waistline was not clearly defined.
Case overview
| Procedure | Liposuction (waist) |
|---|---|
| Sessions | 1 session |
| Cost | ¥348,000 (price at the time of treatment, monitor price, tax included) Price list |
| Main risks | swelling, bruising, pain, edema, skin irregularities, asymmetry, scars, etc. (see details below) |
| Doctor | Dr. Shin Moriwaki (Director) |
On examination, a thick layer of subcutaneous fat remained in the waist area, giving the line from the waist to the hips a rather straight appearance. After assessing her bone structure, skin condition, and the state of the tissue affected by the previous procedure, we planned to carefully suction the fat around the entire waist and recreate a curved waistline.
In revision cases, the tissue is often firmer or has adhesions compared with a first-time procedure, so more delicate handling is required. In this case as well, we performed the liposuction with attention to blending the areas of residual fat smoothly into the surrounding tissue and achieving a thin, even finish.
The photos show the results 3 months after surgery. The thickness around the waist has been reduced, and the curve from the waist to the hips is clearly defined. After surgery, patients go through downtime including swelling, bruising, and tissue hardening, and the final result gradually appears over approximately 3 months.
The effects of liposuction and the course of recovery vary from person to person. If you are considering revision surgery, please consult with a doctor first to discuss a treatment plan suited to your individual condition.

Risks and side effects
Liposuction may cause swelling, bruising, pain, edema, skin irregularities or tightness, asymmetry, pigmentation, and scars at the small incision sites. Rarely, complications such as infection, hematoma, numbness, or reduced sensation may occur. On the abdomen and waist, temporary hardness or irregularities due to tissue contraction, and skin laxity may occur.
These symptoms may occur during recovery and most improve over time, but their severity and the recovery period vary from person to person. If you have any concerns, please consult your doctor rather than judging for yourself.
