Body contouring injections deliver a fat-dissolving solution into small areas of stubborn fat, such as the abdomen, flanks, arms or thighs, which the body then gradually clears. At Egg Clinic in Sinsa, Gangnam, a doctor maps the area and plans a course of sessions; results appear over several weeks, and they are meant for shaping, not weight loss.

What are body contouring injections?
Body contouring injections are a non-surgical way to reduce small, localised fat deposits that do not respond well to diet and exercise. A fine needle is used to place a fat-dissolving solution into the fat layer under the skin. Depending on the product, ingredients such as deoxycholic acid or phosphatidylcholine help break down fat cells, which the body then removes naturally over the following weeks.
Because the effect is local and gradual, a course of several sessions is usually planned. The same principle is used on the face in lipolysis injections, and the injections can be combined with energy-based non-surgical body contouring when more tightening is needed.
Who is a good candidate?
- Small pockets of fat on the abdomen, flanks or back
- Fat on the inner thighs, arms or bra line
- People close to their target weight who want refined shape
- Anyone looking for a non-surgical alternative to liposuction for small areas
These injections are not a weight-loss treatment and work poorly for large volumes of fat or loose, sagging skin. They should be postponed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with an infection in the area, or with some liver, kidney or bleeding conditions. The doctor checks your medical history at consultation and may suggest a different body treatment if injections are unlikely to give the result you want.

What are the results and recovery like?
Swelling, redness, tenderness and small bruises are common after treatment and usually settle within a few days, although the area can feel firm or slightly numb for a little longer. Most people return to everyday activities straight away and avoid intense exercise for a day or two. Visible change usually appears gradually over two to four weeks and continues as the body clears the treated fat. Results vary, and keeping a stable weight helps them last.

Frequently asked questions
Do body contouring injections really reduce fat?
They can reduce small, localised fat pockets as treated fat cells are broken down and cleared by the body. Results vary, and several sessions are usually needed.
How many sessions will I need?
Many people need several sessions spaced a few weeks apart. The doctor recommends a number based on the area and amount of fat.
Is there downtime?
Most people return to normal activities the same day. Swelling, tenderness and bruising usually settle within a few days.
Are the results permanent?
Treated fat cells are removed, but remaining fat cells can still grow if you gain weight. A stable weight helps results last.
Which areas can be treated?
Common areas include the abdomen, flanks, back, arms and thighs. The doctor will confirm whether your area is suitable.
How much do body contouring injections cost in Seoul?
The price depends on the area and number of sessions, so the doctor confirms it at consultation. See our body contouring price list for published prices.
