    WJ Wonjin Plastic Surgery ClinicA Beautiful Figure! Liposuction

    I’m not particularly curvy, but compared to the rest of my body, I had a bit more fat on my upper arms, so I got liposuction because I wanted to look more delicate and slender! I chose a hospital with a doctor who had a lot of surgical experience, and more than anything, I really liked that they offered pain-free liposuction hehe. Starting on the third day after surgery, it was pretty hard getting used to the compression garment, but I also felt that much more proud of myself. My family said it looked like I’d gotten prettier, which made me even more pleased, I think hehe!! I’m planning to take even better care of myself from now on~~~!

    Shinsang Plastic Surgery ClinicDouble Chin Liposuction Binding

    I had been stressed about having a short jawline that barely defined the boundary between my face and jaw, so I decided to undergo liposuction on June 9, along with double chin liposuction, tightening, and neck surgery. It's been about a month, and I am extremely satisfied with the visible jawline. The pain has almost completely subsided, and while my muscles are still a bit tense, I am doing my best to alleviate it with warm compresses. I had undergone many procedures like Inmode and Botox due to my jawline, but those only provided temporary effects without actually removing fat, so it seems there was no fundamental solution. If you're considering Inmode, I highly recommend liposuction!

    WJ Wonjin Plastic Surgery ClinicA Beautiful Figure! Liposuction

    I went to Wonjin Plastic Surgery and got rid of my brawny muscle-man arms lol. Honestly, I was pretty scared of liposuction and hesitated a lot, but Dr. Won Ki-jung had been practicing for something like 25 years—he’d been doing it forever. And he’s famous for pain-free liposuction, right? :3 Seeing that it was less painful than I expected gave me the courage to go for it too. After having the surgery, I realized people don’t praise pain-free liposuction for no reason ㅠ The pain was nowhere near even half—or a quarter—of what I’d imagined. Of course, there was some throbbing after the anesthesia wore off, but it was totally manageable.

    I hesitated for 10 years before deciding to go through with it, but everyone was so kind and took care of me without making me feel anxious. Above all, my body line... the line has improved so much. I now have a waist that I didn't have before, and it's really defined. I feel like I made a great decision, and I'm so moved that I'm writing a review even though I've never done this before. I'm really grateful to the doctor who meticulously designed and performed the liposuction, and the nurse was also incredibly kind, explaining everything so well and providing genuine care. From anesthesia to surgery, and to the final touches, everything was impeccable. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and can be tough to please, but I was truly satisfied. I highly recommend it. Thank you so much to my wonderful doctor, Dr. Park Sun-young, for helping me to be reborn and thrive.

    ◆ 59 ◆ Large Capacity Non-Compression Garment for Liposuction

    It's day 2 after my surgery! I really acknowledge this place as the best for bone and arm procedures, and the consultant who advised me was incredibly kind and thorough in their counseling. Out of all the consultations I've had at hospitals, this was the best. I was quite scared on the day of the surgery, but the doctor comforted me well. When I woke up after sleeping well, all that excess fat had completely disappeared. Hahaha, I thought there would be some swelling, but there was hardly any, and the fat vanished in just a couple of hours. I guess this is why people undergo liposuction!

    Line Booster Abdominal Liposuction

    As I gained weight, I found myself only looking for loose and comfortable clothes. After failing at dieting, I decided to go for abdominal liposuction to definitely remove my belly fat. One week post-surgery The pain felt like muscle soreness? It wasn't severe enough to prevent me from doing daily activities. The swelling and bruising have come down to my thighs. I heard that drinking a lot of water helps with blood circulation and reduces swelling, so I've been drinking frequently. The downside is... I have to take off the compression garment every time I go to the bathroom. If I wear a dress outside, you can't tell that I'm wearing the compression garment underneath! Haha. Week two Now that it's the second week, the bruise has changed from purple to yellow, and I've started exercising while following a diet! I noticed some tightness in my lower abdomen, which they call 'bloat.' This won't go away immediately, so I plan to keep receiving aftercare and do some stretching as well! ☆ Benefits The waistline is defined! And it feels like I'm wearing a different fit in the same pants. Haha. The pants I used to wear have become very loose, so I’m currently shopping for new, form-fitting clothes. Now that I have no restrictions on what to wear, I want to try on clothes I hadn't worn before. I think I understand why everyone gets abdominal liposuction! Haha.

    I received treatment and surgery at Ain Hospital. The facilities were generally clean, and the staff worked with bright expressions. There are many departments, but it seems that the plastic surgery department specializes in liposuction, and the roles are well divided, allowing for quick progress of the procedures. The parking lot is spacious and it's right in front of the subway station, and I am satisfied in many ways.

    After giving birth, my lower belly has remained, so I looked into the price of abdominal liposuction. When I diet, I lose weight, but the area below my belly button and my sides stay the same. Every time I look in the mirror, I feel a lot of stress because of my belly fat. When I wear pants, my lower belly folds, and the fat comes up on both sides of my waist, which is the most stressful part. I looked up the price of abdominal liposuction and discovered Snow Clinic. After searching, I found that the price is really reasonable and there are many good reviews, so I decided to visit. When I shared my concerns during the consultation, the doctor was really kind and explained everything to me. I got abdominal liposuction. Honestly, it was painful on the day of the surgery, but thankfully it got better little by little from the next day. The fat in my abdomen has really disappeared, so I'm extremely satisfied.

    I had face liposuction here. I visited many other hospitals, but I booked an appointment here because they said it was the most systematic and good. First of all, the size of the place is not ordinary compared to other liposuction clinics. The entire 8th floor is a liposuction hospital, and everything is part of the hospital. The aftercare is top-notch.. and all the medical staff are really kind. They let me go in with the nursing staff from the waiting area to the operating room without a guardian, and they really helped calm my nerves. Before the surgery, I was really scared when they tied me down ㅠㅠ, but they calmed me down and said it would be over soon.. The surgery was quick, it only took about 30 minutes? Afterwards, they wheeled me to the recovery room ㅋㅋㅋ and they even gave me porridge after it was all done.

    People around me keep asking about my changed waistline.. I was a bit amazed looking in the mirror too. I used to be really stressed about the extra side fat, no matter how much I adjusted my diet, those love handles just wouldn't budge. Every time I put on clothes, I was so annoyed to see them bulging out. After getting liposuction at Royal Line, my lower belly has flattened out and my waist looks so much tidier. The fit of my pants has completely changed; the waist area is now loose, I couldn't believe there could be such a difference. Now that there’s nothing to grab on the sides, I don’t have to worry about what I wear. I used to always try to hide it.. When I see my side profile in the mirror and how smooth it looks, I really feel like I made the right choice..

    I was looking at reviews and saw some people with beautiful leg lines, which made me think about getting the procedure done. I finally went ahead and did itㅠ. My thighs have always been on the thicker side, so I couldn't wear shorts. My lower body was just too much, and I could only wear baggy pants every day.

    During the consultation, when I heard about shaping the thigh line, I knew this was it and decided right away. I was really looking forward to having a thigh gap created for me. And I actually have a thigh gap now.. Before, my thighs were really close together, but now there's quite a distance.. haha. I also feel like the line of my legs looks much cleaner now. Liposuction is amazing bb.

    I had liposuction on my entire arms, back, and breasts at Keira Line Clinic, and I'm really very satisfied! The main reason I chose this place was that it's a one-person clinic run by the director, which gave me a sense of trust as they personally took care of everything from the consultation to the surgery with great attention to detail. Especially since they extracted the fat using a handmade method rather than a machine, my body lines turned out smooth and natural without any lumps. The director has a very meticulous and caring personality, and I felt their commitment to detailed post-operative care as well. Even though it was a large volume of suction, the swelling and biobonding weren't as severe as I expected, which made me realize the skill involved in the handmade process. I had a lot of concerns about my upper body lines, but the results exceeded my expectations, and I feel happy every time I look in the mirror. Thank you so much, doctor! I sincerely recommend Keira Line Clinic to anyone considering liposuction.
