Fat Dissolving Injections for Localized Fatin Seoul

Injection lipolysis acts on one tissue only: the soft fat that sits between the skin and the muscle. That makes it a tool for contour, for a pocket that has stayed put through diet and exercise, and not a way to lower body weight. The amount it can change in a session is modest, which is why a plan is built around several visits.

Two things decide whether the result will look the way you hope. The first is skin quality, since the skin over a thinner fat layer has to contract on its own; the injections do not lift or tighten it. The second is what the bulge is made of. The clinic notes that the solution works on fat and leaves muscle alone, so a fullness that comes from muscle, for example a cheek that bunches when you smile, stays as it is.

Fat cells store energy as droplets inside a thin outer membrane. A lipolytic solution injected into the fat layer breaks that membrane down, and the body's own clean-up process, mainly inflammation followed by removal through the lymphatic system, clears the debris over the following weeks. Fewer fat cells remain in the treated spot, so the contour flattens gradually rather than on the day of the injection.

ENTER Plastic Surgery has not published the product used in its injections, so this page does not name an ingredient. The most closely studied agent in this field is deoxycholic acid. In a phase 3 randomized trial of injections under the chin, deoxycholic acid reduced fat compared with placebo (Jones, 2016). That trial is background on how injection lipolysis works; it is not a study of the clinic's own solution.

The price list is organized by volume as well as area: one facial area is a single line, while body areas are measured in cubic centimeters of solution, 40 cc for the arms, 80 cc for the thighs, 120 cc for the abdomen and 240 cc for a full-body plan. A larger area needs more solution to reach the whole fat layer, not a stronger dose in one spot.

Each line in the price list below is one session for one area. The face is charged per area, and body areas are charged by the volume of solution, so a series of three sessions on the arms means three arm lines. Every amount is shown before VAT (10% VAT is added at payment). If you want two areas in the same visit, ask for both to appear as separate lines on your written quote so the total for the whole series is clear before you travel.

Swelling, soreness and a numb or firm feeling are the expected effects of injection lipolysis, and they settle on their own. A meta-analysis of randomized trials of deoxycholic acid found that it reduced fat but came with more pain, swelling, firmness, nodules and altered sensation than placebo, and judged the certainty of evidence low to moderate with a possible industry bias in every trial (Inocêncio, 2023).

• Swelling, redness, bruising and tenderness at the injection points.
• Numbness or tingling over the treated area for a period.
• Firm areas or small nodules under the skin while the tissue heals.
• An uneven contour if fat shrinks more on one side or in one spot.
• Near the jawline, temporary weakness of the lower-lip muscle, which can make a smile look uneven.
• Rarely, skin ulceration, hair loss over the site or a blocked blood vessel, reported after market release of deoxycholic acid (Metzger, 2020).

A systematic review of serious adverse events stresses keeping the solution out of the skin itself and separating fat from loose skin before treatment, because sagging is a surgical problem (Shridharani, 2024). Call the clinic straight away about pain that keeps increasing, skin that turns dusky or pale, or a wound that opens.
