Every figure quoted here comes from the three men who carry out the work themselves. Dr. Hong Seung-hyuk, Dr. Maeng Woo-jae and Dr. Hong Yeong-ho own and run G Clinic together, all three board-certified Family Medicine specialists practising aesthetic dermatology, and one of them examines you before a total is written. What they perform is the G-fat injection, an awake extraction under local anaesthesia, billed by palm-sized area with no ceiling on the amount taken from any one of them.
The answer turns on which room you end up in. An operating theatre builds a figure from the size of the operation: theatre time, the anaesthetist, the overnight bed. G Clinic builds it a different way because the procedure is different. The G-fat injection is an awake extraction made through a single micro-entry point per treated area, and it is quoted by palm-sized area. Treat both sides of a body and you have two areas. Inside any one area the amount removed is uncapped, so a heavy zone and a modest zone carry the same published line. Rates are in Korean won with VAT already inside them, and they are the rates a Seoul resident pays for the same appointment. Sedation, if you want it, is its own line. A BMI of thirty or above carries a surcharge. How many areas you need is settled at a free examination.
Nothing here is priced from a photograph sent by message, and nothing is charged until a director has looked at you standing up.
Write down the parts of your body you keep re-checking in the mirror and the dates you could be in Seoul. Our coordinators reply in English on whichever messenger you use. No figure is promised at this stage, because none of it means anything until someone has felt the tissue.
You stand, a director pinches and marks, and the palm-sized areas worth treating get drawn on you. That count is the quote: four areas cost what four areas cost. This examination is free and you may leave with the drawing and think about it at home.
Areas, sedation if you chose it, the surcharge if it applies to you, and any body-care sessions you add are itemised together in Korean won. You see the sum and agree to it face to face. Nobody at the desk adds a line to it afterwards.
Settlement happens at the clinic in Korean won, VAT already inside the published figures. Your compression instructions and follow-up dates are handed over at the same time, so the appointments that come after the extraction are known to you before your card leaves your hand.
A unit here is a patch of your body roughly the size of your own palm. One patch is one area. Because arms, thighs and flanks exist on two sides of a person, treating the pair counts as two. That is the whole arithmetic, and a coordinator can explain it to you on a messenger in under a minute.
The part visitors find strange is what is missing from it. There is no ceiling on how much fat leaves a single area, so nothing on the card is measured in litres, cubic centimetres or canisters. A director extracts what the contour needs and stops when the line is right. Two patients billed for the same three areas can walk out having parted with visibly different quantities of tissue and identical amounts of money.
That structure exists because the underlying procedure is extraction, covered in full on the G-fat Fat Dissolving Injection hub and traced from its name outward on the G-fat Injection page. This page stays on money.
Directors work from the zone map the clinic treats every day. Across the midsection: upper abdomen, lower abdomen, flanks, love handles. On the arm: outer and inner upper arm, the bra line, the axillary pad and the scapular area. On the leg: inner thigh, outer thigh, front and back of thigh, the saddlebag pad and the patch above the knee. Each of those is assessed on its own merits and counted on its own.
Two people with the same complaint therefore end up with different counts. A waistband problem can be one lower-abdomen area for someone slim through the flank, and four areas for someone whose whole midsection rolls. Zone-level reading sits on the sibling pages for stomach liposuction Korea, arm liposuction Korea cost and thigh liposuction Korea cost, and patients with one stubborn patch often start at mini liposuction Korea.
Multiple areas are routinely handled in one appointment, since the fat leaves on the day. That matters to a budget built around flights: a plan spread over several areas is usually a single visit, so the travel side of your spending does not multiply with the clinical side.
Extraction suits a person at a reasonably steady weight who can pinch a defined layer over the zone they dislike. It is contouring for a patch of the body and it is no method of losing weight, so anyone arriving with a target number on the scales is told plainly that the wrong thing is being bought.
Some people are refused outright or asked to wait. Pregnancy and breastfeeding rule it out for now. Uncontrolled medical conditions do the same until they are under control. Patients with a BMI of thirty or above are assessed individually and a surcharge applies where treatment proceeds, which is one of the few items that can move a total after the area count is agreed.
There is a quieter refusal too. Where little fat remains and the skin is already slack, taking the small remainder out tends to make that zone look worse, so the director will steer you toward G-Tight, the ultrasound option, or a body-care course, and will say the extraction card is the wrong card for you. Being examined and told no costs nothing, and the Liposuction Korea Reddit page collects the questions people ask when that happens.
The extraction itself is the bulk of what you are paying for, and its effect is immediate: the volume is physically out of the area during your appointment, with the final contour arriving as swelling drains over the following weeks. Your aftercare instructions, your compression guidance and the review appointments a director schedules to inspect the zone belong to the same course.
Sitting outside it are the optional extras. Sedation is a separate fee for patients who would rather be drowsy while the work happens. Follow-up body-care programmes on devices such as Noble Shape, MPR and Coolshape are quoted on their own lines, and plenty of patients never buy them. Where an ultrasound stage is added, the plan moves onto a different line again, explained on the non-surgical liposuction page.
One thing your money does not buy is immunity from your own habits. Cells taken out of a treated area do not come back, yet the cells still living everywhere else can enlarge if your weight climbs, so a steady weight is what protects the spend. Any director here will tell you that at the examination instead of after it.
This is a minimally invasive procedure and it carries genuine risk, which your director walks through with you while the quote is being written. Bruising, swelling and tenderness over the treated zone are expected in the first days, together with patches of numbness that fade slowly. Less commonly patients see surface irregularity, a seroma, firm nodules under the skin, skin laxity, infection at the micro-entry point, or asymmetry between two sides that were treated as a pair.
Tell the clinic everything: your full medical history, every medication and supplement, previous operations on the zone in question, and any past reaction to anaesthetic. Those disclosures occasionally change what is offered, and they occasionally end the conversation, which is the correct outcome when they do.
Afterwards, wear the compression as instructed, keep each micro-entry point clean and dry, and contact the clinic promptly if pain, redness, discharge or swelling climbs after the first few days. A resident medical director is on the premises through opening hours, so there is always a doctor able to look at the area.
Most patients walk out under their own steam and return to desk work the same afternoon, wearing a compression garment under their clothes. Heavy lifting, hard training, saunas and long-haul flights wait until a director clears them, and that clearance is given on the area, not on a calendar someone wrote in advance.
Swelling and bruising peak within the first few days and then recede. Loose clothing makes the opening week considerably more bearable, and compression is worn on the plane home. Patients who plan the trip properly keep a handful of days in Seoul after the appointment so a director can inspect the zone before they fly, and our coordinators fit the booking around the dates you send.
Those days are a real cost and they deserve a line in your own spreadsheet even though they never appear on the clinic’s card. The same goes for the ceiling on what a single trip can sensibly cover, which the how much fat can be removed page works through zone by zone.
The same English search phrase reaches three products with three different pricing logics. Reading the logic is what lets you compare like with like.
| Line on the quote | Injectable course | G-fat extraction | Surgical liposuction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Counting unit | Per session, across a course | Per palm-sized area, uncapped inside it | Commonly by region, volume and theatre time |
| Anaesthesia on the bill | Topical or none | Local included; sedation an optional line | Sedation or general anaesthesia built in |
| Facility and stay | Outpatient | Outpatient, home the same day | Operating facility, sometimes an overnight bed |
| Appointments billed | A run of weekly visits | Usually one visit for the areas agreed | A single operation plus surgical follow-up |
| What moves the figure | How many sessions you complete | How many areas are marked on you | Scale of the operation and time under anaesthesia |
| Working days absorbed | Negligible, repeatedly | Same-day desk work for most people | Days to weeks under compression |
The table describes pricing structures in general terms. Which route suits your body is a clinical decision, and the surgical comparison is set out at length on the liposuction in Korea page.
A published rate covers a procedure, and a trip covers rather more. Flights, the nights you book near Gangnam, the meals, the local transport and the days of leave you burn are all yours to plan, and for most international patients they are a meaningful share of the true total. None of them passes through the clinic, so none of them is quoted by a director.
Two smaller items catch people out. The compression garment is part of your aftercare and its supply is confirmed when your plan is written, so ask about it at the examination instead of guessing. And because everything is published in Korean won, your home-currency total moves with the exchange rate between the day you read this and the day you pay; card issuers add their own conversion terms on top of that, which the clinic neither sets nor sees.
Comparing a Seoul figure with one from home means putting all of it on the same page: procedure, anaesthesia, aftercare, working days, travel. Done that way, a per-area card is unusually easy to read against a volume-based surgical estimate.
The awake, local-anaesthesia approach that makes this pricing structure possible has a long record in the peer-reviewed literature. Tumescent anaesthesia has been reported as safe for liposuction at a lidocaine dose of 55 mg/kg (Coleman, 1996). Skin retraction after liposuction has been studied specifically in patients over the age of 40 (Bank, 1999). More recently, the safety of combined use of ultrasound and power-assisted liposuction in local anaesthesia has been reported (Sendur, 2022). These papers describe the method category and nothing more: they are not statements about outcomes at G Clinic, they say nothing about your body, and they carry no implication about what you will be quoted. That conversation belongs with a director.
Here is the clinic’s international card in full, in its own order, so a body-contouring figure can be read next to everything else G Clinic performs. VAT is already inside each line. Grouped tables for the extraction options and for body care follow underneath.

Three options sit on the card and all three are counted the same way: one palm-sized area is one unit, a pair of limbs is two, and the amount removed inside a unit is uncapped. G-Lifting, the third-generation technique, sends the clinic’s patented cannula through the skin and fat layer first to prompt tightening, then extracts. Ultra G-fat puts an ultrasound stage ahead of the cannula that refines the line. Your director says which of the three your tissue calls for.

|---|---|---|
| G-fat fat extraction | per area (1 area ≈ one palm-sized zone; both sides = 2 areas) | ₩275,000 |
| G-Lifting (3rd-generation G-fat) | per area (1 area ≈ one palm-sized zone; both sides = 2 areas) | ₩330,000 |

Sedation is optional and carries its own fee for patients who prefer to be drowsy; the default is local anaesthesia with you awake and talking. Treatment where BMI reaches thirty or above carries a surcharge, confirmed at the examination. Beyond those two, the number of marked areas is what determines your total, and zone pages such as saddlebag fat removal and stomach fat dissolving show how a count is built in practice.
These are the optional programmes patients add while a treated zone settles, and they are also bought on their own by people who were never candidates for extraction in the first place. Each carries its own published line, so adding one to your plan is a decision you make with a figure in front of you.

A few things are deliberately absent from the printed card because the plan varies too widely for a single line to be truthful. The under-chin V-Tight treatment, where ultrasound melts fat before it is drawn out, is quoted once the area has been examined. The multi-week calf programme is quoted as a course. Toxin for excessive sweating and for the trapezius is quoted by how much area is being covered. Ask for any of them by name and the figure is given to you at the same free consultation.
No. One published card covers everybody who walks through the door, and a visitor flying in from abroad is quoted from the same lines as somebody who lives ten minutes away in Seoul. There is no separate visitor rate, no foreigner surcharge and no figure that only appears once you are sitting in the chair. What differs between two patients is the number of areas marked on them at the examination.
Then you are buying a single area, and a single area is the smallest unit on the card. Plenty of patients come for exactly one: a lower belly, one saddlebag pad, the back of both upper arms counted as two. The figure for one area is published, so you can see it before you travel, and the mini liposuction Korea page covers what a one-area plan can and cannot change.
It is already inside the published figures for international patients, so the number you read is the number you settle. Nothing is layered on at the counter. If your plan gains an optional item along the way, such as sedation or a body-care session, that item has its own published line and you agree to it while the total is being written, not afterwards.
Because the clinic prices the territory treated and not the tissue removed from it. Within a marked palm-sized area there is no cap, so a director takes what the contour needs and the line on your quote does not move. It makes budgeting simple and it removes any incentive to leave fat behind. The practical limits of a single visit are set out on the how much fat can be removed page.
The consultation is free and there is no fee for walking away from it. You are examined by one of the three resident medical directors, in English, and you leave with an area count and a written total. Many people take that home and think about it for weeks. Some are told at that examination that extraction is not the right procedure for them at all, and that assessment costs nothing either.
It is not. The standard here is local anaesthesia with you awake, able to talk to the director and to say what you are feeling while the work goes on. Sedation is available as an option for patients who would find the session easier that way, and it carries a separate fee confirmed at your examination. Whether it is appropriate for you is a clinical question your director answers in person.
Two things. First, suitability is assessed individually, because a higher BMI often means the fat you want gone is partly sitting behind the abdominal wall where no contouring procedure reaches. Second, where treatment does go ahead, a surcharge applies on top of the area count. Both points are raised openly at the examination, and neither is discovered later on a printed bill.
Coordinators can tell you what each area costs and walk you through how counting works, which is usually enough to build a budget. What nobody can do responsibly is decide your area count from an image, because the decision rests on how the fat layer pinches, how your skin behaves and what you look like upright. That is why the examination in Gangnam, Seoul comes before the total.
Compression is part of your aftercare and how it is supplied is confirmed when your plan is written, so raise it at the examination and the answer is given to you there. It matters more than its size suggests: worn loosely, a garment lets fluid pool where you least want it, and the surface of a treated area settles better under steady, correct pressure through the opening weeks.
They are assembled from different parts, so compare structures before comparing totals. A surgical estimate typically absorbs theatre time, an anaesthetist and possibly a bed for the night. An extraction quote here absorbs the areas marked on you, with local anaesthesia included and same-day discharge. The full side-by-side sits on the liposuction in Korea page.
Most areas are finished in one visit, which is the ordinary outcome. Where a patient wants more taken from a zone later, that is a fresh plan with a fresh area count and it is quoted the same way as the first. Your director tells you at the examination whether a second pass is likely for your tissue, so the possibility is on the table from the start.
The clinic publishes and settles in Korean won, so those figures are fixed. What moves is their value in your own currency between the day you plan and the day you pay, and card issuers apply their own conversion terms as well. Neither of those is set by the clinic. Build a small buffer into your budget and the movement stops mattering.
Your travel dates, the zones that bother you, your rough height and weight, and anything medical a doctor would want to know. Send it through the consultation form and a coordinator replies in English on your preferred messenger with the published lines and a likely range of area counts. Patients weighing up the whole idea often read the Liposuction Korea Reddit page alongside it.
Book a free consultation and one of the three medical directors will examine you in Gangnam, Seoul, mark the areas worth treating, and put the whole total in writing in Korean won with VAT inside it. If extraction is wrong for your body, you will be told that at the same appointment.

Yesterday, I had a fat extraction procedure from Dr. Hong Young-ho. The staff, especially the doctor, were so kind that it was very comfortable. Right after the procedure, it was just a little uncomfortable yesterday because of swelling, but today there is almost no pain and I'm waiting for the swelling to go away to see the beautiful res…
Recommendations are made based on actual circumstances. The attitude is very good. Highly recommended.
I cannot recommend G-clinic highly enough. From the moment I walked in, my experience was nothing short of exceptional. The clinic itself is modern, clean, and welcoming. The front desk staff were incredibly warm and efficient. Checking in was a breeze, and they were very helpful with my new patient paperwork. The waiting time was minimal…
Process was perfect! I got some liposuction done, the doctor and staff were very nice and very professional. 100% would recommend anyone to get there procedures done here! They took out A LOT of fat! The doctor speaks perfect English as well!
