— From “Fat Removal” to “Body Design”**

Liposuction is now one of the most widely performed procedures in aesthetic medicine.

However, its true purpose goes beyond simple fat reduction.

Liposuction has evolved into a medical art of body contour design.

At AVAN TOKYO, we stand at the forefront of this evolution, pursuing both safety and aesthetic excellence.

■ 1970s: The birth of liposuction

Liposuction began in the 1970s.

At that time, the procedure involved:

• large cannulas
• strong suction pressure
• significant bleeding

It was highly invasive and often resulted in:

• irregular contours
• complications
• unnatural outcomes

It was essentially “a procedure to remove fat.”

■ 1980s–1990s: The introduction of the tumescent technique

A major breakthrough came with the

tumescent technique.

This method involves injecting:

• local anesthetic
• vasoconstrictors
• saline solution

before fat removal.

It significantly improved:

✔ safety
✔ bleeding control
✔ recovery time

For the first time,

liposuction became a safe and reproducible procedure.

■ 2000s: Technological advancement and precision

In the 2000s, advancements included:

• thinner cannulas
• improved suction control
• ultrasound and vibration-assisted devices

This allowed for

more precise and refined fat removal.

At this stage, liposuction evolved into:

• waist contouring
• thigh shaping
• arm sculpting

a procedure focused on shaping, not just removing fat.

■ Modern era: The age of body design

Today, liposuction is no longer about removing fat.

It is about deciding what to leave behind.

True beauty comes from:

• skeletal structure
• fat distribution
• skin quality
• light and shadow

creating a three-dimensional body design.

■ What makes AVAN TOKYO different

At AVAN TOKYO, we approach liposuction as

a fusion of art and medicine.

Our approach includes:

✔ contouring through lines, not flat surfaces
✔ planning based on contracture
✔ optimization for Asian body types
✔ designing shadow and definition
✔ combining with regenerative medicine

■ The future of liposuction

Liposuction will continue to evolve toward:

• integration with regenerative medicine
• shorter downtime
• more natural results
• personalized design

Safer, more natural, and more precise.

From removal to design

Not all liposuction is the same.

Results depend on:

• surgical skill
• design ability
• anatomical understanding

A body designed specifically for you

At AVAN TOKYO, liposuction is not just about fat removal.

It is about creating the most beautiful version of your silhouette.
