FAT Mapping: Fat Analysis Within the KMB Hospital Care System — Understanding Fat Before Planning Care
A changing body shape is never caused by a single type of fat, and fat in each location responds to care differently. At KMB Hospital, care begins with a systematic understanding of fat through a process called FAT Mapping so that the physician can see the overall picture of fat in each area before planning care that is appropriate and safe
What Is FAT Mapping?
FAT Mapping is the process of systematically analyzing the characteristics of fat in each area of the body, helping the physician understand
- where the fat is located
- what its characteristics are
- and how it should appropriately be cared for
This process is not a treatment but a tool for understanding the information before making any care decisions.
Why Analyze Fat Before Care?
Because fat in the body does not behave the same way in every location. Analyzing fat helps the physician
- understand the differences in fat across each area
- recognize the limitations and suitability of care
- reduce guesswork and increase thoroughness in planning
This is why KMB Hospital always places importance on information before providing care.
FAT Mapping and the “Know My Body” Concept
The Know My Body concept refers to care that begins with understanding the body, not with rushing toward results. FAT Mapping is one of the tools that helps the physician understand each individual's body systematically before moving on to planning appropriate care.
How Does FAT Mapping Work Together With Assessment?
FAT Mapping is part of KMB Hospital's Pre-Treatment Assessment System. The information from fat analysis is considered together with other health data to support appropriate care planning, rather than making a decision based on a single dimension of information.
What FAT Mapping “Does” and “Does Not Do”
What FAT Mapping Does
- helps the physician understand fat systematically
- supports appropriate care planning
- reduces guesswork in decision-making
What FAT Mapping Does Not Do
- it is not a treatment
- it does not guarantee results
- it does not replace the physician's judgment
