At AVAN TOKYO, many patients say during consultation:

“I want arms and legs like IVE’s Wonyoung.”

However, to be honest — it’s almost impossible to recreate Wonyoung’s exact arms and legs with liposuction alone.

While liposuction can beautifully refine body contours, body shape is determined by more than just fat.

Let’s go over the key points to understand before aiming for that “idol-like” body line.

🔹 Factors Beyond Fat

Liposuction removes subcutaneous fat only.

But the body line is also influenced by muscle, bone structure, and skin quality.

① BMI and Fat Inside Muscles

If your BMI is above 19, fat often exists inside the muscles (like marbled meat).

Even if you remove all subcutaneous fat, the muscle fat can make the arms or thighs still look thick.

② Skin Laxity

Areas such as the front of the upper arm and inner thighs are prone to skin looseness.

When too much fat is removed, the skin may become wrinkled or saggy instead of tight.

③ Bone Structure

Unfortunately, bones cannot be reshaped with cosmetic surgery (except minor rib contouring).

Knee or femur modification is theoretically possible, but it causes severe functional issues —

and those perfectly straight Korean or Chinese “thigh gap” photos are often digitally edited.

④ Muscle Volume

Some patients have naturally strong muscles.

In those cases, Botox for the arms or thighs can help reduce the muscular bulge for a smoother contour.

🔹 Ideal Liposuction Volume and Design

“Extreme fat removal” can cause problems.

To sculpt a beautiful, natural line, the optimal fat removal amount per area should be:

Removing more than this increases the risk of unevenness, skin sagging, and pigmentation.

The goal is not just thinness — but refined design and proportion.

🔹 Postoperative Care Matters Most

Even with a perfect operation, your post-op care determines the final result.

• Proper compression and massage to reduce hardness (fibrosis)
• High-protein, nutrient-dense meals for recovery
• GLP-1 (e.g., Mounjaro) for weight control and anti-inflammatory benefit
• Light movement to maintain metabolism

In one of our cases, a patient underwent full-arm (500 cc) and full-thigh (1500 cc) liposuction,

then used GLP-1 injections postoperatively, resulting in minimal fibrosis and fast recovery.

🔹 Summary

Achieving a “Wonyoung-like” body line requires precision and discipline at every step:

• Before surgery: evaluate BMI, skin quality, muscle volume
• During surgery: plan a balanced, natural design
• After surgery: maintain results with nutrition, metabolism, and care

Liposuction is not just about removing fat — it’s a body-design procedure.

When performed thoughtfully and complemented by proper postoperative care,

it can bring you closer to your ideal body line — slim, smooth, and elegant.
