Please give your liposuction experience here (looking for lipo clinic)

@Missynlulu
My plan was to go for a full body liposuction and it was down to Dr Kasey and Laprin.

However, Laprin informed me that Dr Choi YH was unavailable and suggested Dr Lee HW would be the one performing. So I eventually just went with my gut and decided on Dr Kasey instead.

I contacted him via Kakaotalk.

Dr Kasey only specialises in lipo, body sculpting surgery, fat grafting and stem cells with experience since 2002, has conducted multiple live surgeries/conferences in this area annually since 2003 and wrote a book on liposculpting in 2008. That's as much as I could only manage to find online, so hope it helps!

Something to note: The size of the clinic is exactly as what you would find with google photos, located on the 2nd floor.

Upon consultation, we discussed my main areas of concern in that order - abdomen, thighs and arms. He explained that I didn't require as much lipo as I thought I did but fully understood that my abdomen and thighs were my priority. I came with a list of questions ready ( eg 1 or 2 ops required, length of operation, sedation vs GA, recovery time, type of liposuction, how many scars, ...) and he was patient throughout, explaining in full detail (I think I spent at least 20mins just on my Q&A). After much discussion, he informed me that he could perform the op in a day instead of splitting into 2 ops, a week apart.

It was my first time going for an operation and personally, I felt much more assured after the F2F consultation for 2 reasons. One, I needed a doctor who would be patient and explain everything in detail without brushing me off (I heard that consultations can be as short as 2 mins in some hospitals) and two, because of his experience and specialisation.

Btw I did consider PBC & 365mc but the both were too pricey for me. If I didn't have a budget then I would totally go for 365!

If you have any other questions, feel free to reply/pm me! :smile:
 
I had liposuction at Laprin and it was actually Dr Lee HW who did it. I am very happy with the overall experience so far (still waiting for the end results, has been 2 months), but I only did my thighs and hip line (plus breast fat grafting), so whole-body lipo might be different. Will follow your thread^^ BTW did your doc talk to you in English or did you have a translator? Or do you speak fluent Korean?
 
Hi @Agamma80 ,

Dr Kasey is fluent in both Korean and English so there won't be any language barriers! Unfortunately, I can't speak Korean. But for those going to his clinic, I would advise learning simple terms like "it's painful" or

It's been slightly more than a month and I'm quite surprised at how much my belly flattened out. Before, when I sat down, my belly would protrude out and there was a heavy crease line below my breasts.. My thighs have slimmed down a little too but there's still hardening and a little bit of swelling left.

Something I forgot to mention in my previous post - For the post-op compression garment, he advised me to wear it for the first 24 hours and after that I could just wear it in the day and take it off at night or vice versa. However, I read online from other forums that they wore it 24 hrs for the first 4-6 weeks at least, so I tried to do the same for the first month.

I tried to ask for another garment but he said that it wasn't necessary (since I could wash it at night). Since I only purchased 1 set of compression garments, I only took it off when I needed to wash and let it dry.

Hopefully the results would be more obvious after the next month or two!
 
It has been a full 6 months since having thigh liposuction in Seoul! I couldn't be happier with my results! Honestly! It was my first cosmetic procedure ever, so I was very nervous, but it all turned out amazing! My doctor was highly skilled and the hospital by far the most professional in Seoul. 365mc only does lipo and after doing a lot of research to find the best place, I am so glad I chose them. Some friends of mine had gotten theirs done here, so it made me feel even safer because they all had amazing results too. The recovery was not bad and I feel like my full results came out around 3-4 months! I finally have a proportional shape and thigh gap! My stretch marks are also less noticable. :smile: 10/10 would recommend to anyone who struggled to loose fat in a specific area (like I had struggled for years).

Hey thank you for your reviews on here and youtube! I know its part of the deal you have with them but I still very much appreciate it. Was wondering what you told the doctor you wanted as a result because there is definitely a more straight leg almost pencil leg aesthetic in Korea but you seem to still have a more European form. GRAZIE

You look so good! Did you get any loose skin from the lipo? I heard that the thigh area is risky

So happy with my results from thigh liposuction at 365mc. I also did shoulder+calves botox. I notice a HUGE difference in my thigh fat after all the swelling and lumps went away (about 3 months after). Since then I have had a great shape and the fat has not returned in the procedure area. The calves botox was recommended by my doctor because I have too much muscle in that area and not a lot of fat (suprised! I thought it was all fat!). Great to have scans and ultrasound to see the real fat level. Before going to 365mc I thought the problem was fat. But I learned I have a lot of muscle. I personally wanted shoulder botox because my shoulders were high, tense, and always sore. So happy! I did not see results at first, but after a few weeks I can see! The shoulders have relaxed and calves have a soft long shape. Botox lasts around 6 months and works to temporarily stop muscle movement with minimal to no side effects. This means over time the muscles will slowly lose mass. Happy with the results after almost 6 months post-op!

Heard of 365MC too, think they are popular for lipo in Korea. U could maybe try hyundai aesthetics too? I don't know if they are any good but I saw on their insta that there are having liposuction promos. Not sure if the promos are still on or not though.
