Body Contouring

Reshape, Tighten, and Redefine Your Body with Advanced Contouring Expertise

What Is Body Contouring?

Body contouring is a category of surgical procedures designed to reshape and refine the body’s silhouette by addressing two distinct concerns: excess fat and loose, sagging skin.

These two problems are related but fundamentally different. Excess fat responds well to liposuction. Loose skin — the result of significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging — does not. Once the skin has been excessively stretched, it rarely returns to its original elasticity on its own.

At Evita Clinic, body contouring surgery is performed under the direct supervision of Dr. Francis Jeon, a board-certified thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon who founded the clinic in 2009. His background in vascular surgery brings a precision-first approach to every procedure.

Body Lift Surgery

Skin Tightening — Restore What Diet and Exercise Cannot

Significant weight loss, pregnancy, and aging can result in loose, sagging skin that does not respond to diet or exercise. Once skin has been excessively stretched, it rarely returns to its original elasticity. Dr. Jeon's background in cardiovascular and vascular surgery directly informs how he approaches body lift procedures — preserving vascular integrity to ensure tissue blood supply and safe, lasting results.

Tummy Tuck

Abdominoplasty

A tummy tuck removes excess abdominal skin and tightens weakened abdominal muscles to restore a flatter, firmer contour. It is the appropriate solution when skin laxity and muscle separation (diastasis recti) cannot be corrected by liposuction alone.

Mini Tummy Tuck is available for patients with concerns limited to the lower abdomen, with a shorter scar and faster recovery.

  • Removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen
  • Repairs separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
  • Creates a flatter, firmer abdominal profile
  • Can be combined with liposuction for enhanced contouring

Arm lift brachioplasty – Evita Clinic

Arm Lift

Brachioplasty

Brachioplasty removes loose skin from the upper arm. Because the upper arm is a highly visible area, scar placement is one of the most critical aspects of the procedure.

Dr. Jeon classifies arm lift procedures into micro, mini, and standard techniques based on the degree of skin laxity and the patient's scar tolerance. In cases of mild laxity, a limited excision may achieve adequate improvement with a shorter scar. When sagging is more advanced, a longer incision is necessary to achieve proper tightening and durable results.

  • Removes loose, sagging skin from the upper arm
  • Micro / Mini / Standard classification by laxity severity
  • Scar placement designed to minimize visibility
  • Can be combined with arm liposuction

Learn More

Thigh Lift

Thighplasty

A thigh lift addresses sagging skin on the inner or outer thigh. Incision placement and extent of skin removal are individually planned based on anatomy, lifestyle, and recovery considerations.

Scar placement is designed to remain as concealed as possible within natural skin folds and clothing lines. In cases where fat deposits are also present, thigh lift may be combined with liposuction for optimal contour improvement.

  • Removes loose, sagging skin from the inner or outer thigh
  • Incision and scar placement tailored to each patient
  • Can be combined with thigh liposuction
  • Improves leg contour and daily comfort

Mommy Makeover – combined body contouring after pregnancy

Mommy Makeover

Pregnancy and breastfeeding change the body in multiple ways simultaneously — stretched abdominal skin, muscle separation, and changes in arm and thigh contour often occur together.

A Mommy Makeover combines the procedures most relevant to each patient's concerns into a coordinated surgical plan. Common combinations include tummy tuck with liposuction, or tummy tuck with arm or thigh lift.

When the scope of surgery is extensive, Dr. Jeon may recommend staging procedures across two sessions to prioritize safety and recovery.

Dr. Jeon’s Philosophy on Localized Liposuction

Body contouring is not the art of “removing fat.”
It is the art of preserving flow.

The human body is built on curves—continuous, connected lines formed by bone structure and the soft transitions that follow it. When we treat only one isolated area, we often break that natural continuity. The result may look “smaller,” but not necessarily more beautiful—because the smooth extension of the body’s silhouette has been interrupted. Over time, the contrast between the treated area and the untouched area can become more noticeable, and the overall harmony of the shape is lost.

That is why Dr. Jeon approaches liposuction in three integrated parts:
Arms, Abdomen, and Thighs.
Not because every patient needs “more,” but because the body’s aesthetics are rarely confined to a single point. A truly refined contour comes from respecting how one curve becomes the next.

When Localized Liposuction Is Considered

There are, however, rare and highly specific exceptions—situations where a single-area approach is not only reasonable, but necessary.

  • Touch-ups for an area operated on long ago
  • Corrective revision surgery after procedures performed at another clinic

In these cases, the goal is not to redesign the silhouette, but to restore it—correcting imbalance, irregularity, or dissatisfaction from a past result.

Pricing for Exceptional Single-Area Cases

For these special cases, the cost is:
KRW 1,100,000 per area.

Because even when the intervention is small, the standard of precision remains the same.

Frequently Asked Questions

Body contouring is a category of surgical procedures designed to reshape the body's silhouette by removing excess fat, tightening loose skin, or repairing weakened muscles. Common procedures include liposuction, tummy tuck, arm lift, and thigh lift. At Evita Clinic, all body contouring procedures are performed by Dr. Francis Jeon, a board-certified thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon.

Liposuction removes excess fat from targeted areas. A body lift removes loose, sagging skin. These address different problems: liposuction works best when skin elasticity is good; a body lift is appropriate when skin has been excessively stretched by weight loss, pregnancy, or aging and will not retract on its own. Many patients benefit from both, performed together or in stages.

At Evita Clinic, body contouring procedures address the abdomen and flanks, upper arms, inner and outer thighs, and face and neck. Skin tightening procedures — tummy tuck, arm lift, and thigh lift — address the same areas when loose skin is the primary concern. Procedures can be combined and are planned individually based on each patient's anatomy.

The key factor is skin elasticity. If your skin is firm and elastic, liposuction alone may be sufficient to reshape the abdomen. If you have loose, sagging skin — or if your abdominal muscles have separated (diastasis recti) — a tummy tuck is more appropriate. A physical consultation is necessary to determine the right approach for your anatomy.

The Evamatic® is a liposculpture system by Euromi that uses N.I.L.® (Nutational Infrasonic Liposculpture) technology. It combines infrasonic vibration below 25 Hz with a nutational cannula movement to gently emulsify fat without generating heat. This results in excellent skin retraction, reduced bruising, less post-operative pain, and faster recovery compared to conventional liposuction.

Standard liposuction does not tighten significantly loose skin. However, the Evamatic® N.I.L. technique used at Evita Clinic promotes skin retraction through infrasonic stimulation of fibroblasts, which supports collagen production. For mild laxity, this effect may be sufficient. For moderate to severe skin looseness, a body lift procedure is necessary in addition to fat removal.

At Evita Clinic, body contouring procedures are performed under sleep anesthesia (IV sedation or general anesthesia), not local anesthesia alone. This allows for more precise surgical execution and greater patient comfort, particularly for procedures involving multiple areas or extensive skin excision.

Results from liposuction are long-lasting, as the fat cells removed do not regenerate. However, significant weight gain after surgery can affect the outcome. Skin tightening results from body lift procedures are also durable, though natural aging continues over time. Maintaining a stable weight is the most important factor in preserving long-term results.

Body contouring surgery is safe when performed by a qualified surgeon with appropriate patient selection and operative planning. At Evita Clinic, Dr. Jeon's background in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery brings particular expertise in vascular integrity — a critical factor in body lift procedures, where maintaining tissue blood supply reduces the risk of complications and supports healing.

Yes, in many cases they are combined. However, Dr. Jeon evaluates each patient individually. When the combined surgical load is too high to safely complete in a single session, procedures are staged across two separate operations. Safety takes precedence over convenience, and this approach is discussed in detail during the pre-operative consultation.

At Evita Clinic, combined procedures are planned conservatively. When necessary, surgeries are staged across two sessions to minimize risk and optimize recovery for each area. Dr. Jeon's surgical background provides a rigorous framework for operative planning and intraoperative decision-making.

Recovery varies by procedure. Liposuction alone typically requires 1–2 weeks before returning to light activity, with full recovery in 4–6 weeks. Tummy tuck and arm lift procedures generally require 2–4 weeks of restricted activity. Most patients are comfortable returning to work within 2 weeks of a single procedure, though strenuous activity is restricted longer.

Compression garments are required after liposuction and recommended after body lift procedures. They reduce swelling, support skin retraction, and improve final contour. Specific instructions — including garment type, wear duration, and care — are provided based on your surgery.

Korea has a well-established reputation for surgical precision and high standards of medical care. Evita Clinic offers the additional advantage of specialization: the clinic focuses exclusively on body contouring surgery, which allows for continuous refinement of technique and outcomes. International patients also benefit from cost efficiency compared to equivalent procedures in Western countries.

Evita Clinic provides detailed pre-operative planning remotely. You can submit photos and medical history for an initial assessment before committing to travel. Safety protocols, realistic recovery timelines, and procedure sequencing are discussed in advance so you can plan your trip with full confidence. Begin with an online consultation through the contact page at evitaclinic.com.

For a single procedure such as liposuction, plan at least 2–3 weeks in Korea — one week for pre-operative assessment and surgery, and one to two weeks for initial recovery before flying. For combined or more extensive procedures such as a tummy tuck or body lift, plan 3–4 weeks minimum. Specific recommendations are given based on your procedure and recovery progress.

All body contouring procedures at Evita Clinic are performed by Dr. Francis Jeon, a board-certified thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon who founded the clinic in 2009. His background in cardiovascular procedures informs his approach to body contouring, with particular attention to vascular integrity, tissue handling, and long-term structural stability.

The answer depends on what you are trying to correct. Liposuction removes fat. A body lift removes loose skin. Many patients benefit from both. A consultation — including a physical assessment — is necessary to determine the right approach for your specific anatomy and goals.
