Fat loss injections, also called lipolysis or fat-dissolving injections, deliver a solution into small fat pockets so that fat cells are broken down and gradually cleared by the body. At Egg Clinic in Sinsa, Gangnam, a doctor maps the area and plans a course for areas such as the double chin, jawline or abdomen; results appear over two to four weeks, and they are for shaping rather than weight loss.

What are fat loss injections?
Fat loss injections are a non-surgical way to reduce small, stubborn areas of fat. The doctor injects a fat-dissolving solution into the fat layer just under the skin. Depending on the product, ingredients such as deoxycholic acid or phosphatidylcholine break down the membranes of fat cells, and the body then clears the released fat naturally over the following weeks.
On the face they are popular for a double chin, heavy lower cheeks and jawline shaping, often as part of V-line injections. On the body they suit small areas on the abdomen, flanks, arms or thighs. At Egg Clinic, our HPL lipolysis programme is one of the options the doctor may suggest.
Who is a good candidate?
- A double chin or fullness under the jaw
- Puffy lower cheeks or a soft jawline
- Small fat pockets on the abdomen, arms or thighs
- People near their target weight who want refined contours
- Anyone wanting an alternative to liposuction for small areas
These injections are not a substitute for weight loss and are less effective for large amounts of fat or loose skin, where a lifting or tightening treatment may help more. They should be postponed during pregnancy or breastfeeding and with infection in the area, and people with some medical conditions need a careful review first. The doctor will check whether the fullness is fat, muscle or skin laxity before recommending injections.

What are the results and recovery like?
Swelling is common and can be noticeable for a few days, especially under the chin, along with redness, tenderness and occasional bruising. Most people return to everyday activities quickly. Results develop gradually over two to four weeks as treated fat is cleared, and further sessions build on the result. Many people need two to four sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Treated fat cells are removed, but results tend to last longer when your weight stays stable.
How the treatment works
-
Consultation & mapping
The doctor assesses the area to confirm it is fat rather than muscle or loose skin, then marks the injection points.
-
Preparation
The skin is cleansed, and cooling or numbing may be used for comfort.
-
Injection
The solution is injected into the fat layer with a fine needle, usually within 10–20 minutes.
-
Aftercare
Expect swelling for a few days. Avoid alcohol, saunas and salty food for a day or two, and keep to your session schedule.
Tips for international patients
- Avoid alcohol and very salty food the day before treatment to limit swelling.
- Plan important photos for a few days after a chin session, as swelling can be visible.
- Ask the doctor how to space sessions if you are only in Seoul for a short stay.
- Message us on WhatsApp to check availability before you travel.
Frequently asked questions
How many fat loss injection sessions do I need?
Many people need two to four sessions spaced a few weeks apart. The doctor recommends a number based on the area and amount of fat.
When will I see results?
Results usually appear gradually over two to four weeks after each session as the body clears the treated fat.
Do fat loss injections hurt?
Most people feel stinging or a warm, burning sensation during and shortly after the injection. Cooling or numbing helps.
Is there downtime?
Most people return to normal activities the same day. Swelling, especially under the chin, can last a few days.
Are fat loss injections the same as weight loss injections?
No. Fat-dissolving injections treat small local areas, while medications such as semaglutide affect appetite and overall weight.
How much do fat loss injections cost in Seoul?
The price depends on the product, area and number of sessions, so the doctor confirms it at consultation. See our body contouring price list for published prices.
