Liposuction in Vietnam – Advanced Body Contouring with Modern Technology

The trend of overseas Vietnamese returning to Vietnam for liposuction is becoming increasingly popular, as it offers a safe and effective way to improve body shape. At Kangnam, advanced liposuction technologies help create well-defined body contours, a slimmer figure, and ensure absolute safety. The article below provides a detailed introduction to the technology and treatment process at Kangnam.

1. What is liposuction?

Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove localized fat deposits from areas such as the abdomen, waist, thighs, hips, and arms, helping to create a slimmer and more balanced body shape. This is not a method for overall weight loss but rather focuses on body contouring, delivering a more toned, proportional, and harmonious figure.

2. What makes liposuction technology at Kangnam different?

Lipo 360 fat reduction at Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital is an advanced body contouring technology that focuses on precise removal of localized fat in a safe manner while shortening recovery time. The procedure applies advanced technology from the United States and follows medical-standard protocols. It is not intended for overall weight loss, but rather for reshaping body contours.

Key differences of Lipo 360 fat reduction technology at Kangnam include:

• Targeted fat removal with 360-degree contouring: The technology allows precise treatment of localized fat layers around the abdomen, waist, hips, back, and surrounding areas, helping create a slimmer figure with a well-defined waistline while minimizing the risk of uneven or lumpy results after liposuction.
• Gentle Tumescent misting mechanism: Fat tissue is liquefied before removal, reducing mechanical force during suction and minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue, blood vessels, and nerves.
• High fat removal efficiency: The procedure can liquefy and remove up to 97.8% of excess fat in the treated area, as indicated, supporting clearly improved body contours.
• Multimodal anesthesia: A combination of anesthetic techniques is used to ensure a smoother procedure, reduce discomfort, and shorten recovery time by up to three times compared to traditional methods.
• Specialized, small-diameter cannulas: The small-sized cannulas allow precise manipulation, minimize invasiveness, reduce pain, and lower the risk of visible scarring.

Lipo 360 can precisely target fat tissues, liquefying up to 97.8% of excess fat.

3. Common areas for liposuction

Liposuction can be performed on the abdomen, waist–hips, thighs, arms, back, and double chin to remove localized fat deposits, helping create a slimmer and more balanced body shape.

• Abdomen: Flattens the stomach, removes excess fat around the navel, and improves waistline contours.
• Waist – hips: Creates a slimmer waist and improves overall body proportions.
• Thighs: Reduces inner and outer thigh fat, improving leg aesthetics and walking posture.
• Arms: Slimmer, firmer arms with a more natural appearance.
• Back: Smooths the back, reduces bulges, and creates more refined contours.
• Double chin: Enhances facial definition with a clearer jawline and a younger, more contoured look.

4. Who is suitable for liposuction technology?

Liposuction services are suitable for adult men and women with stable health, localized fat accumulation, good skin elasticity, and difficulty reducing fat through diet or regular exercise.

Suitable candidates for liposuction include:

• Men and women aged 18 and above with stable overall health.
• Individuals with excess fat accumulated in multiple areas of the body such as the abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, arms, or double chin.
• People with firm skin and good elasticity, making them suitable for body contouring after liposuction.
• Those with an unbalanced body shape or stubborn fat that is difficult to eliminate through conventional dieting and exercise methods.

Liposuction is suitable for people with localized fat in the abdominal area.

5. Lipo 360 liposuction procedure at Kangnam

The Lipo 360 liposuction procedure is performed according to medical-standard protocols to ensure safety, effectiveness, and optimal body contouring results. The entire process takes place in a sterile operating room, using advanced equipment and carried out by experienced aesthetic specialists, ensuring absolute safety and long-term, stable results.

Step 1: Consultation and evaluation of excess fat areas

The doctor conducts a comprehensive assessment of the areas requiring liposuction, determining the amount of fat to be removed, skin condition, elasticity, and fat layer thickness. Based on this evaluation, the doctor provides detailed consultation on expected outcomes and results after the procedure.

Step 2: General health check

The client undergoes basic medical tests (cardiovascular assessment, blood pressure, medical history review, and current medications) to ensure safety throughout the liposuction procedure.

Step 3: Marking treatment areas and anesthesia

The doctor carefully marks the liposuction areas for precise treatment, followed by sterilization and the application of local anesthesia or sedation. This helps ensure the client remains comfortable and pain-free during the procedure while reducing stress and anxiety.

Step 4: Performing liposuction using Lipo 360 technology

The Tumescent misting technology liquefies fat, combined with specialized 360-degree cannulas to accurately remove fat while protecting surrounding tissues. The doctor carefully controls the amount of fat removed, avoiding over- or under-removal to ensure smooth, natural, and well-defined body contours.

Step 5: Post-operative care and follow-up

After liposuction, the client is transferred to a recovery room, receives post-procedure care instructions, wears compression garments, and is monitored for any abnormal signs. The doctor schedules follow-up visits to evaluate recovery progress and body contouring results.

6. Recovery time after liposuction

Recovery time after Lipo 360 liposuction typically ranges from 1–2 weeks for the treated areas to heal and for pain or discomfort to subside. However, most patients can return to normal daily activities after approximately 4 weeks, once the liposuction areas have fully stabilized.

• First 1–2 weeks: The treated areas may experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. During this period, patients should rest, avoid strenuous activities, wear compression garments as prescribed, and take medications according to the doctor’s instructions to support proper healing.
• Weeks 2–4: Swelling and bruising gradually decrease, and the body begins to adapt to changes in the treated areas. Light activities such as walking or gentle yoga can be resumed.
• After 4 weeks: Most symptoms have resolved, the treated areas become stable, and patients can return to normal daily routines. However, strenuous exercise and intense physical activities should still be limited until full recovery, typically around 6–8 weeks.
