[Doctor's Column] Ondari Lifting: Why You'll Be Disappointed If You Come Expecting a 'Weight Loss Procedure'

 

I frequently hear patients in the clinic say that despite following a diet and exercising, their weight has decreased while their lower abdomen and flanks remain unchanged. Many of these patients inquire about Onda Lifting. Today, I will summarize what Onda Lifting is, what you should expect, and what you should not expect.

 

1. Body shape concerns are not just one thing.

Even if you are concerned about your abdomen and flanks, the causes are broadly divided into three categories.

Weight — This applies when total body fat is high. Diet, exercise, and weight management come first.

Localized fat — This is a case where body weight is normal but fat remains only in specific areas.

Elasticity — This refers to cases where the lines appear spread out because the skin fails to keep up after weight loss or childbirth.

The areas where Onda is helpful are the second and third. If you choose only Onda for the first concern, a discrepancy is likely to arise between expectations and results.

 

2. Things Onda Can Do and Cannot Do

Onda is a device that uses microwave energy. It differs from ultrasound or high-frequency devices in the way heat is transferred, and it is used to refine localized lines by delivering thermal energy to the fat layer.

What can be done — helping to refine the lines of the remaining areas

Things you cannot do — significantly losing weight, reducing visceral fat, or removing large amounts like liposuction

 

3. You must start by knowing the reason for 'coming back'.

To be honest, while changes in body lines are felt relatively quickly after the procedure, the duration of the results depends heavily on lifestyle management. If you regain weight, your body lines may return. Therefore, satisfaction varies significantly when the plan is designed to include post-procedure care, rather than just the single treatment itself.

 

4. We especially recommend this in such cases.

· Those who are concerned about remaining spots in specific areas even after weight loss
· Those who feel their abdominal line is not the same as before after childbirth
· For those who find liposuction too burdensome and prefer a non-surgical method

 

5. Things to check before the consultation

· Is my concern about weight, localized fat, or skin elasticity?
· Do you design the plan based on my body part and fat thickness, rather than the number of energy sessions or repetitions?
Do you also provide guidance on the maintenance plan after the procedure?

You can consider a consultation that answers the above questions specifically to be more personalized than one that merely presents large numbers.

 

After the procedure, there may be a sensation of heat, redness, or temporary discomfort, and the effectiveness and duration may vary from person to person.
