— The truth lies in tissue healing, not incomplete suction —

One of the most common concerns after liposuction is:
“Are these uneven areas caused by leftover fat?”

In reality,
this is often NOT the case.

1. The real cause is usually “fibrosis” (normal healing)

After liposuction, your body undergoes a natural healing process:

• Inflammation
• Collagen production
• Tissue contraction

This leads to temporary hardness, unevenness, or irregular surface texture.

In other words:

Irregularities = healing in progress, not surgical failure

2. If it were residual fat, it would look smooth

This is a key point.

If fat were truly left behind:

• The area appears soft
• Smooth and rounded
• No hardness

On the other hand:

• Hard
• Uneven
• Changing over time

→ These are classic signs of fibrosis.

3. The real issue is “layer control” and “design”

Liposuction is NOT just about removing fat.

It is about:

Which layer to remove, how much to leave, and how to sculpt the contour.

• Removing too much from superficial layers → risk of irregularities
• Leaving too much deep fat → blurred contour
• Over-uniform suction → loss of natural definition

Therefore:

Irregularities are not about quantity,
but about anatomical control and design precision.

4. Why does it improve over time?

Fibrosis is temporary.

Over time:

• Blood circulation improves
• Collagen reorganizes
• Tissue softens

Resulting in a smoother contour over months.

Proper aftercare is essential:

• Compression
• Early mobility
• Heat-based therapies (e.g., RF)

5. The AVAN TOKYO approach

At AVAN TOKYO, we do not simply remove fat.

We design the body line.

• Creating “lines”, not points
• Treating shoulder–arm–axilla as one unit
• Preserving a thin superficial layer for smoothness
• Using technologies like Morpheus8 for skin contraction

Liposuction is:

A procedure to create aesthetic harmony,
not just reduce volume.

Summary

Postoperative irregularities do NOT mean failure.

In most cases:

• It is part of normal healing (fibrosis)
• It is different from residual fat
• It improves over time

What truly matters is:

Not how much fat is removed,
but how beautifully the line is designed.
