And Why “Asian-Tailored Liposuction” Is Essential

Liposuction is not a one-size-fits-all procedure.
Naturally, Asian and Western body structures are not the same.

Asian women have distinct fat distribution patterns.
When liposuction is performed using Western-style design on an Asian body, it may result in:

• A bulkier appearance
• Slimmer but not aesthetically refined lines
• Joints that appear disproportionately large
• Loss of three-dimensional shape, resulting in a straight, blocky torso

At AVAN TOKYO, we specialize in liposuction design optimized specifically for Asian anatomy.

Below, we explain these differences in depth from a medical and anatomical perspective.

① Asians Have Thinner Skin and Thinner Fat Layers

Compared to Westerners, Asians generally have:

• Thinner skin
• Thinner superficial fat layers

Therefore:

⚠ Using Western-style “deep, aggressive suction”
can easily cause irregularities, over-resection, or surface wrinkling.

What Asian bodies require is:

✔ Gentle preservation of the superficial layer
✔ Sculpting rather than scraping
✔ Prioritizing surface smoothness

In other words, a delicate, highly precise technique.

② Asian Fat Spreads Horizontally Rather Than Vertically

Westerners tend to have more muscle mass, and fat often stacks “vertically.”

In contrast, Asian fat tends to spread “horizontally,” causing:

• A straight, cylindrical waist
• Prominent outer thighs
• Bulging front thighs
• Upper arms that look like cylinders

Even with the same amount of fat, horizontal spread makes the body appear wider.

AVAN TOKYO accounts for this characteristic and designs with:

▶ Contouring the outer lines
▶ Creating a vertically defined waist
▶ Shaping the arms into a tapered, three-dimensional cone

All with visual aesthetics fully calculated.

③ Skeletal Structure Greatly Influences Silhouette

Typical Asian skeletal features include:

• Narrow pelvis
• Less rib flare
• Longer torso

This means Asian bodies naturally lack the “curves created by bone structure” often seen in Western body types.

This is exactly why Asian-specific liposuction must compensate for skeletal limitations.

AVAN TOKYO’s approach includes:

✔ Sculpting the waist according to rib shape
✔ Enhancing hip contour to balance narrower pelvis widths
✔ Minimizing front-thigh and outer-thigh bulk for straighter legs

We integrate bone × fat × shadow lines for the most aesthetic result.

④ Why Asians Often “Look Larger” Even at the Same Weight

Many Asian women experience:

• Water retention
• Smaller but more numerous fat cells
• Stronger fascial adhesions

These factors create the effect of looking larger than they actually are.

This means many Asian patients feel:

“I’m not overweight, but I look bigger than I am.”

These patients benefit dramatically from liposuction:

▶ “Already slim, but now I look truly slender”
▶ “Curves become refined and more feminine”
▶ “The silhouette enhances my underlying bone structure”

Transformations can be striking.

Why AVAN TOKYO Focuses on “Design for Asian Bodies”

Liposuction is not a mechanical task —
it is an art performed by surgeons who understand the unique characteristics of each ethnicity.

AVAN TOKYO specializes in:

✔ Precision suction tailored to Asia’s thinner skin
✔ Designing lines that convert horizontal fat spread into vertical elegance
✔ Contouring to compensate for skeletal disadvantages
✔ Postoperative management that uses contracture to enhance results

Ultimately, our philosophy is:

**Not just creating a “thin body,”

but sculpting a body with beautiful, intentional lines.
