Key Takeaways
- ◎No single program suits every body type — body type diagnosis is the essential first step
- ◎Thigh-Dominant types achieve the most balanced result with Thigh 360 + Hip Design
- ◎Overall Balance types benefit most from the Body Balance program that designs the full body simultaneously
Why Body Type Matters
The most common consultation question is 'Can I just do the thighs?' or 'Is fixing the waist enough?' But body zones do not exist in isolation.
Improving the thighs changes the proportion with the hips; improving the waist changes the connection between upper and lower body. This is why body type diagnosis before surgery is essential.
Thigh-Dominant Body Type
This type has the lowest TPR (Thigh Proportion Ratio) — the thigh-to-hip proportion exceeds the ideal of 1.12, making the lower body appear heavier.
Recommended: Thigh 360 (360° thigh line sculpting) combined with Hip Design (apple-hip proportion design) produces the most balanced result. Treating the thighs alone can create a silhouette that looks disconnected from the hips.
Waist-Dominant Body Type
WHR exceeds the ideal of 0.70 — the waist line is prominent, often due to lateral and dorsal fat distribution.
Recommended: Waist Sculpt (T-line waist design) is the core program. Since improving the waist alone can make the hips appear relatively underdeveloped, Hip Design is often considered as a complement.
Arm-Line Focus Body Type
ALR (Arm Line Ratio) is the lowest index — the upper-arm line affects overall body proportion balance.
Recommended: Arm 360 (arm U-line design) combined with precise sculpting of the arm-shoulder transition.
Overall Balance · Balanced Types
The Overall Balance type has no single prominent problem area — all proportions are uniformly suboptimal. The Body Balance program, designing the whole-body proportion simultaneously, is most effective.
The Balanced type (BBI 78+) already has good proportions. Fine-tuning programs such as refined line correction or HD abs design are the most appropriate.
