You don’t necessarily have to resort to liposuction to get rid of excess fat. We introduce you to a minimally invasive procedure that offers similar results – fat-dissolving injections.
Traditional liposuction, a surgical method of removing fat deposits, can come with risks and painful recovery. Our fat-dissolving injections are a safe and non-surgical alternative, achieving the desired reduction of fat deposits without a lengthy recovery period.
This procedure is suitable for those looking for an effective and safe way to reduce fat deposits. It provides a reduction in visible fat deposits and improves the overall condition of the skin, making your body slimmer and more toned.
How does it work?
Unlike liposuction, the effect of fat-dissolving injections occurs gradually, as sodium deoxycholate doesn’t work instantly. For optimal results, combining injections with physical exercises enhances the fat breakdown process.
Broken down fat cells are naturally eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system – be it sweat, excrement, or breathing. This method is a gentler and safer way to get rid of unwanted fat deposits without surgical intervention.
The process
Before starting the procedure, you need to sign a consent form and, if desired, take a photo to document changes before and after treatment. The surgeon will mark the areas on your body for injections, ensuring precision and effectiveness of the procedure.
A local anesthetic cream is applied to minimize discomfort during and after the procedure, although its use is optional. The doctor carefully disinfects the target area before injecting sodium deoxycholate. The product is injected slowly, with a dosage determined by the doctor, for maximum efficiency.
After the injection, creams are applied to prevent infection, a key element of post-procedure care.

Aftercare
Hydration and skin care. Post-fat-dissolving injection, hydration is key. Remember to regularly drink water and use moisturizing creams for face and body.
Post-procedure limitations. Avoid hot baths and saunas for a week after treatment. It’s also important to abstain from smoking and alcohol consumption for better recovery and effect.
Use of special agents. Use antibiotics or special creams after the procedure, as prescribed by the doctor, to avoid infections and speed up the healing process.
Sun protection. If the procedure was performed on the face, be sure to use high SPF sunscreen and reapply it throughout the day.
Active lifestyle for accelerated results. Regular physical exercises help speed up the process of fat cell reduction and improve overall body condition.
Maintaining weight and shape. Remember the importance of maintaining a stable body mass index and weight for the long-term preservation of the procedure’s results.
Who are eligible to get fat-dissolving injections?
This procedure is most suitable for individuals with a normal body mass index (BMI) and healthy weight, who wish to eliminate fat cells they find unattractive.
Fat-dissolving injections are not a substitute for liposuction, especially for those looking to remove large amounts of fat. However, they are effective in reducing fat cells and may require several sessions to achieve the desired results.
We do not recommend this procedure for individuals under 18 and over 60 years old, pregnant or breastfeeding mothers, and people with serious medical conditions, to ensure their safety and health.
Step 1: Fill out the QUESTIONNAIRE
First and foremost, you need to fill out a form. This will help us and the surgeons better understand your expectations and review your medical history. In the form, be sure to provide your personal information, details about any previous surgeries, and your current health condition. Unfortunately, patients with HIV infection are not eligible for plastic surgeries in Korea.
Step 2: Attach photos
Attaching photos of the areas of your body or face that you would like to have corrected is a crucial step. This allows us to make a preliminary cost estimate and direct you to a specialist who can address your concerns.
Step 3: Submit and wait for confirmation
After submitting the form and photos, your application will be reviewed, and we will contact you to confirm details and schedule a consultation.
Step 4: Prepare for the consultation
Prepare a list of questions you would like to ask the coordinator and surgeon during the consultation. We recommend bringing a phone with notes or a notepad to help you stay organized and obtain all the information you need. Additionally, you can always ask any questions you have in a personal chat created for discussing the details of your trip.
