One of the most common concerns after liposuction is “contracture.”
On social media, the misconception
“contracture = a sign of failure”
still persists.

However, medically, this is incorrect.

In reality:

Contracture is not harmful — it is a normal and necessary process for achieving beautiful contours.

At AVAN TOKYO, we fully understand the mechanism of contracture and design our liposuction with the exact timing of your most beautiful result in mind.

■ What Is Contracture? — The Medical Definition

Contracture refers to the tightening of the tissue that occurs as the skin and subcutaneous layers heal after liposuction.

It is a natural healing response in which the body rebuilds and refines the treated area:

Inflammation → Fibrosis → Tightening

This progression is normal and expected.

The key point:

✔ Contracture is what creates a firm, smooth, and beautiful final line.

A liposuction result with no contracture would instead look loose and lack refined curves.

■ Why Is Contracture Necessary?

Liposuction is not just the removal of fat.
Inside the body, the space created by suction must be restructured.

This involves regeneration of fibrous tissue, which:

▪ Creates new supportive fibers
▪ Allows the skin and deep tissues to adhere appropriately
▪ Produces a tightened, sculpted contour

This entire process is driven by contracture.

The stronger and more controlled the contracture,
the more refined the line becomes, with the most beautiful silhouette appearing between 3–6 months.

■ Hardness, Tightness, Unevenness, Pain — These Are Not Alarming Signs

During the contracture phase, you may experience:

● Hard skin
● Tightness
● A bumpy appearance
● Tenderness when touched

These changes are normal.

What truly matters is how this phase is managed.
Proper care during contracture greatly influences your final result.

At AVAN TOKYO, we use:

💠 Ultrasound / radiofrequency care
💠 Adhesion control
💠 Liposuction design calculated with contracture in mind

These allow the contracture phase to become a positive period that enhances your final shape.

■ What Makes AVAN TOKYO’s Contracture Management Different?

The beauty of liposuction is determined not on the day of surgery,
but largely by how the first 3 months are managed.

Understanding the science behind contracture, we precisely control:

✔ The depth of suction
✔ Essential tissue layers to preserve
✔ Where we intentionally create adhesion
✔ Where we prevent adhesion

This results in:

▶ A deeper, more defined waist
▶ Straight, refined inner-thigh lines
▶ A naturally slender, three-dimensional upper arm
▶ A lifted, rounder hip

In other words, beautiful results created with contracture, not in spite of it.

Contracture is not an abnormality.
It is an essential step for achieving a beautiful result.
