The Patient's Goals
For this 40-year-old international patient, the issue was the straight, rectangular line of her torso rather than her weight. She wanted clean waist definition and a subtle lift, an outcome Canadian patients in her age group often describe as well. Her plan used our BBL approach to convert midsection fat into a defined waist-to-hip curve.
Surgeon's Expert Approach
The technical focus of this procedure was carving a waistline first, then using that harvest to build a proportional hip curve.
- traditional liposuction of the flanks and back: Treating the abdomen, flanks, and lower back together narrowed the waist and removed the straight lateral line that had read as rectangular.
- Graft placement for definition: Purified fat filled the upper lateral hip to create an hourglass transition, with volume kept subtle to suit a 40-year-old frame.
- recovery technology framework: She completed recovery with HBOT and LLLT to support graft survival and even healing across the donor and recipient sites.

I am beyond grateful I went with AKM Clinic for my deep plane face and neck lift, upper eyelid, and co2 laser. Dr. Akif has magic hands and my results are truly incredible! I came from the US and assistant Emine was the best in assuring every detail was coordinated and communicated with me beyond my expectations every step of the way. 10 out of 10 to the entire team! I couldn’t be more pleased!
