Q. I've had procedures like fat-dissolving injections, but I gain the weight back quickly. Why does this happen?

Many people attempt drastic measures—like extreme fasting or aggressive procedures—only to experience fatigue and a rapid rebound. The human body is remarkably intelligent and conservative; it seeks to maintain a specific equilibrium. While fat-dissolving injections help eliminate fat in a specific area, they do not change the 'fundamental metabolic environment' that caused the fat to accumulate in the first place. Consequently, the body attempts to refill those empty spaces. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), this is viewed as an issue of 'Dameum' (phlegm-fluid retention/metabolic waste) and 'Eohyeol' (blood stasis), which hinder circulation. Specifically, this often occurs during a state of 'Bi-heo' (Spleen Deficiency), where the Spleen—the organ responsible for digestion and energy metabolism—is weakened. In this state, regardless of how much external fat is removed, the body continues to send internal signals to store energy. Ultimately, creating an internal environment where your body can naturally burn energy is far more important than simply sculpting the exterior. By improving 'Bi-heo' and enhancing metabolic efficiency, you can finally break the cycle of the yo-yo effect. Let's work together to identify exactly where the stagnation is occurring in your body.
