Price of liposuction in Korea. What if is determined by the amount of fat extracted, and not by the area?

If people suddenly gain weight or see no change after repeated diets, they often think of undergoing liposuction. Especially the calf and forearm are naturally prone to excessive accumulation of fat comparing to other parts.

The number of consultations for liposuction in Korea usually increases in winter period when people are less active. Although the cost may vary depending on the body site, in general, the cost of liposuction in Korea is determined by the amount of fat extracted.

Liposuction is a way of extracting fat directly from the body. Therefore, the price is different for each patient depending on how much fat is extracted. However,  the amount removed is not a pure fat, but the mixture of fat and blood.

For example, the same price of liposuction performed by two hospitals does not mean that they extract the same amount of fat. The same applies to the price of liposuction in other areas, including abdominal fat removal, calf liposuction, thigh liposuction and mini liposuction.

So can we increase the amount of pure fat and minimize the amount of bleeding for the same price?

Unfortunately, it is still difficult to remove only 100% fat. However, the recent liposuction surgery method performed in ID Hospital can extract more fat by separating the fat cells and other tissues as much as possible. In addition to pure fat, it significantly reduces bleeding and tissue damage, resulting in fewer bruises and faster recovery.

If the patient uses a combination of mechanical and “hand-made” liposuction methods according to the individual features, the liposuction price and the burden on the patient will be reduced. It is important to follow the dietary and clinician-guided precautions for faster post-operative weight loss and longer maintenance. Moreover a patient needs to find an experienced specialist who has a rich clinic experience in liposuction.
