My height is 160 cm, weight 65 kg, upper-body obesity type All consultations were conducted for the entire upper body (upper/lower abdomen, flanks, back flanks, bra line, love handles, upper arms, armpits, scapula area, accessory breasts...)
1. Konkuk Univ. Liyoung After InBody measurement: doctor > manager Quoted price including compression garment and VAT: mid-5 million KRW
No separate anesthesiologist The hospital does feel like the interior was done a long time ago. Postoperative care: self-radiofrequency for 3 months (the patient comes to the hospital and uses the radiofrequency device directly), 3 carboxytherapy sessions
2. Luisha After InBody measurement: manager > female doctor Quoted price including blood test: mid-to-late 4 million KRW Custom compression garment separate: 180,000 KRW (they said to wear it for 3 months)
There is an anesthesiologist. They said they do not operate on the arms and abdomen at the same time for safety reasons. (at least 2 weeks apart) Postoperative care: iron/swelling nutritional injection, 4 radiofrequency sessions
They said that because my abdomen lacks elasticity, the wrinkling would not go away. The doctor said that after removing abdominal fat, I would become concerned about the pubic area, and asked how about doing the pubic area together too. I wasn't thinking about it, so I just moved on. (I wondered whether that much belly fat could really be removed) They had me tense and relax my abdomen and also talked about the abdominal wall; it felt detailed regarding the abdomen.
3. The Line Consultation fee: 10,000 KRW prepaid. I requested Director Cho, but I couldn't meet the doctor and only proceeded with the consultation manager. (I only remembered after getting home that I had paid the consultation fee, so I'm planning to call on Monday)
No InBody; only measured height and weight. They have an anesthesiologist, but since it is sedation anesthesia, not general anesthesia, they said the anesthesiologist does not come in. They said that during anesthesia, even if it is not the doctor in charge, another available doctor observes. Including blood test and compression garment: mid-8 million KRW. They said they would discount it to late-6 million KRW if I signed the contract that day.
Postoperative care: 2 radiofrequency sessions They recommended a separate diet program after surgery They said my abdomen is sagging, so I need an abdominoplasty. It wasn't even a doctor but the consultation manager saying this, so from then on I listened half-heartedly....
4. Fitting InBody measurement and photo taking, then manager > doctor > manager Quote: mid-7 million KRW. Compression garment price separate. They mentioned a discount on the condition that my photos are used in advertising. (This is a quote available only to me, so I won't say it) Postoperative care: 1 InMode session
The doctor looked at my abdominal sagging and said an abdominoplasty might be needed, but suggested trying without it. They said that to do it without one, they would need to remove as much as possible from many surrounding areas. Since I had been thinking of 360-degree full liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, and back flanks from the beginning, I understood and moved on. They divided the body areas the most finely. For the upper body, the shoulders and the area below the clavicles are included.
Just going around for consultations is really no easy task. I hope this helps everyone, even a little.
