Liposuction in Seoul, Korea
Liposuction in Gangnam, Seoul at Marble Plastic Surgery: contour the abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs and face by removing diet-resistant fat through tiny incisions.
Typical ranges for liposuction; your surgeon confirms the details at consultation.
What is liposuction?
Liposuction is surgery that removes localized fat through a thin tube (cannula) inserted via tiny incisions, reshaping areas that do not respond to diet or exercise. At Marble Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, board-certified plastic surgeons perform liposuction of the face, arms, abdomen, flanks and thighs.
Liposuction changes contour rather than weight. A fluid containing local anesthetic and a vessel-constricting agent is infiltrated first to limit bleeding, and fat is then removed evenly to avoid irregularities. Skin elasticity determines how smoothly the skin retracts; where skin is loose, a tummy tuck or lift may be advised instead. The removed fat can be used for body fat grafting.
Who is liposuction for?
Suitability is decided at a 1:1 consultation with your surgeon.
- Localized fat on the abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs or under the chin
- A stable weight close to your goal
- Good skin elasticity
- Realistic expectations: contouring rather than weight loss
How liposuction is performed at Marble
- Consultation and planning Your surgeon examines fat thickness and skin elasticity in each area, marks the zones to treat while you stand, and explains how much change is realistic and safe.
- Anesthesia and monitoring A board-certified anesthesiologist selects the anesthesia with your surgeon, administers it, and monitors you continuously throughout the procedure.
- Fat removal and contouring After tumescent fluid is infiltrated, a fine cannula is passed through small, concealed incisions to remove fat in even layers and sculpt the transition between areas.
- Recovery and discharge You rest in a private recovery room under monitoring. Before you leave, the team explains wound care, medication and your follow-up schedule.
Recovery and aftercare
Bruising and swelling are most visible in the first two weeks. A compression garment is usually worn for several weeks, and the contour continues to refine for about three months.
- Regenerative laser and radiofrequency care in weeks 3–4
- Unlimited scar care

Frequently asked questions
How much fat can be removed with liposuction?
The amount is limited for safety and depends on your body size and the areas treated. Your surgeon sets the limit at consultation.
Is liposuction permanent?
Removed fat cells do not return, but remaining cells can enlarge with weight gain, so a stable weight preserves the result.
Will liposuction tighten loose skin?
It relies on your skin retracting. If skin is loose or stretched, a tummy tuck or lifting procedure is more effective.
Who will perform my procedure at Marble Plastic Surgery?
The surgeon you consult with performs your surgery. Marble follows a surgeon-of-record policy with no substitute surgeons, and a board-certified anesthesiologist is on site full-time to manage anesthesia and monitoring.
