AVAN TOKYO’s Approach to Creating Artistic Body Contours Through Liposuction

Many people see models and celebrities on social media and wonder:
“How can a waist be that thin?”
The answer is not simply having less body fat.
A truly slim waist is created when the natural contours of the:
● Rib cage
● Pelvis
● Oblique muscles
● Back muscles
● Iliac crest (hip bone line)
become visible.

This combination creates the appearance of an exceptionally refined body contour.

The Difference Between Weight Loss and Body Sculpting

At AVAN TOKYO, liposuction is not viewed as a weight-loss procedure.
Our goal is to create beautiful proportions and definition.
For slim patients especially, the objective is often to reveal the natural framework of the body rather than simply remove fat.

Case Study

The patient featured in this case underwent extensive liposuction of:
● Face
● Upper arms
● Forearms
● Back
● Waist
● Thighs
● Calves
A total of approximately 4,700cc of purified fat was removed.
This represents a large-volume body contouring procedure.

Recovery Is Not Easy

Extensive liposuction can involve a significant recovery period.
The patient described the first two days after surgery as:
“the hardest part of the entire process.”
Potential postoperative symptoms include:
● Fatigue
● Anemia
● Swelling
● Bruising
● Temporary weakness
For this reason, extensive liposuction is not appropriate for everyone.

Changes Seen at 3 Months

At 3 months postoperatively, the patient’s body contour has changed dramatically.
Visible improvements include:
● Defined iliac crest lines
● Increased thigh gap
● Visible oblique muscle contours
● Enhanced lower-leg muscle definition
The waist appears thinner not only because of fat removal, but because the body’s natural anatomy is now more visible.

Extremely Lean Body Contours May Show More Definition

This is an important concept many patients overlook.
When body fat becomes very thin,
muscles and bony landmarks become more visible.
Depending on lighting and body position, contour irregularities may appear more noticeable.
In many cases, this is a natural characteristic of a very lean physique rather than a complication.

The AVAN TOKYO Philosophy

Our goal is not simply to remove fat.
We focus on the balance between:
● Rib cage
● Waist
● Pelvis
● Hips
● Legs
to create a harmonious and natural silhouette.
Every treatment plan is customized based on:
● Skeletal structure
● Muscle mass
● Fat distribution
● Patient goals

Who Is This Procedure For?
✔ Patients seeking dramatic body contour changes
✔ Patients wanting a thinner waistline
✔ Patients hoping to create a thigh gap
✔ Patients pursuing a highly defined physique
✔ Patients prepared for a significant recovery period

For Those Who Truly Want to Be Lean

Extensive liposuction is not an easy procedure.
However, when performed with careful planning and proper postoperative care, it can create changes that go far beyond weight loss.

At AVAN TOKYO, our goal is not simply a smaller body.
Our goal is a beautiful body line built upon the balance of bone, muscle, and fat.
