Have questions about body contouring injections in Korea? We’ve got answers—location, pricing, photos, and more.

What Are “Body Contouring Injections”?

Minimally invasive injections designed to shrink small fat pockets or enhance contours in targeted areas. They are not a weight-loss cure, but a refinement tool best used with diet, activity, and—when appropriate—medical weight management.

Who Is It For? (Quick Fit ✅)

• You’re close to your goal weight but have small, stubborn bulges
• You prefer no surgery and minimal downtime
• You can commit to a series of sessions (not one-and-done)
• You want English-friendly guidance and a doctor on site

Common Targets (Small to Medium Areas)

• Under-chin (double chin) & jawline
• Bra line / axillary “tail” fat
• Lower belly pooch & flanks
• Back rolls edge, upper knee or banana roll
• Armpit/upper chest fullness (case-by-case)

What We Offer (Personalized Mix)

• Fat-dissolving injections (deoxycholate-based / mesolipolysis) for small pockets
• Metabolic & lipotropic shots (B-complex, MIC, etc.) as adjuncts to a doctor-led plan
• Collagen-stimulating micro-injections for subtle smoothing in select zones
  Your clinician will confirm what’s safe and suitable after a brief evaluation.

How It Works (Visit Flow)

1. Mini-consult: goals, meds, past procedures, photo mapping
2. Plan: areas, number of sessions, quote, and aftercare handout
3. Treatment: quick injections (numbing available)
4. Follow-up: typically every 3–6 weeks until the plan is complete

Typical Course & Downtime

• Sessions: 2–4+ (area-dependent)
• Each visit: ~15–30 minutes
• Downtime: swelling/tenderness 2–5 days (under-chin can puff for a week)
• Exercise: light movement same day; skip heavy workouts 24–48 hours
• Results: gradual; most notice change after 2–3 sessions, final at 8–12 weeks post-series

Expected Sensations (Normal)

• Warmth, stinging during injections (minutes)
• Swelling and mild bruising
• Temporary firmness or tenderness on pinch

Safety & Who Should Avoid

• Not for pregnancy/breastfeeding, active infection, poorly controlled medical conditions, or certain anticoagulant regimens
• Possible effects: bruising, swelling, numbness, nodules, asymmetry, rare skin irritation
• All treatments at VEI are doctor-supervised with clear aftercare instructions

Costs in Seoul (Guide)

• Body zones (bra line/flank/knee): ~ ₩300,000–₩800,000 per session

Compare: Injections vs. Liposuction

• Injections: best for small pockets, minimal downtime, multiple sessions
• Liposuction: single procedure for larger volumes or full 360° shaping
• Unsure? Book a consult—your clinician can outline both paths and timelines.

• Body composition scan to track fat vs. muscle
• Medical weight management (GLP-1 or alternatives when appropriate)
