Overview:
Liposuction is one of the most popular and high-demand procedures for body contouring. In Korea, laser liposuction and tumescent liposuction are frequently used for fat removal, as they offer reduced recovery time and less discomfort compared to traditional liposuction methods. Laser liposuction uses laser energy to liquefy fat, making it easier to remove and promoting skin tightening, while tumescent liposuction involves injecting a local anesthetic into the targeted fat areas before fat is suctioned out. These methods are ideal for removing localized fat deposits, especially around the abdomen, thighs, and arms.
Additional Costs:
