Rapid weight loss with medications like GLP-1 medications often leads to loose skin, especially around the abdomen, arms, and chest. This post explains why body contouring surgery may be necessary after significant weight loss, how to prevent sagging skin, and why Evita Clinic in Korea is a trusted choice for international patients.
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a transformative procedure that enhances body contour and boosts confidence. However, like any major surgery, minor post-operative issues can arise, with seroma being one of the most common. Seroma occurs when fluid accumulates in the surgical area due to disrupted lymphatic flow. While typically harmless, proper prevention and management—such as compression garments, balanced activity, and drain care—are essential for a smooth recovery. Learn how to minimize risks and handle seroma effectively for optimal healing.
Discover the transformative power of tummy tucks and the pivotal role of umbilicoplasty in achieving abdominal harmony. This comprehensive guide delves into the differences between mini, standard, and extended tummy tucks, with a special focus on reshaping the belly button for natural and proportional aesthetics. Featuring insights from Dr. Francis Jeon, learn how personalized approaches ensure optimal results tailored to individual needs.
Central obesity, often characterized by a protruding abdomen reminiscent of a gym ball—or even Santa Claus after too many cookies—poses significant health risks. Beyond aesthetics, this condition signals an accumulation of visceral fat, contributing to metabolic disorders such as hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. At Evita Clinic, Dr. Francis Jeon emphasizes a strategic, step-by-step approach to combat central obesity. Starting with visceral fat reduction through diet, exercise, and advanced injectables like GLP-1 medications, the treatment progresses to subcutaneous fat removal via liposuction or tummy tuck, ensuring both health improvements and aesthetic satisfaction. This comprehensive plan not only reshapes the body but also initiates a positive cycle of enhanced metabolism, confidence, and long-term health. Whether you’re aiming to manage central obesity or simply seeking a healthier lifestyle, early intervention is key to success.

A surgical drain is a small tube placed under your skin during procedures like Tummy Tucks, Gynecomastia, or Breast Surgery at Evita Clinic. Its main purpose is to remove excess fluid from the surgical area, which helps reduce swelling and promotes faster healing. You will need to empty the attached collection bulb several times daily and carefully record the fluid amount – this information is crucial for your surgeon during follow-up visits. While wearing the drain might feel slightly awkward, it is secured by a stitch and typically not painful. The drain is usually removed after 3 to 5 days, depending on your surgery and when the fluid output decreases significantly. The removal process is quick and generally involves only minor discomfort.
Visceral obesity, or central obesity, is a serious health concern linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other risks. Unlike subcutaneous fat, visceral fat surrounds vital organs and cannot be removed through liposuction or tummy tuck. Learn about effective strategies, including lifestyle changes, medical treatments, and the role of surgical procedures in motivating long-term weight management.
