365MC is the largest specialized liposuction chain hospital in South Korea, with a history of over 20 years. It operates more than 18 branches in cities such as Seoul, Daejeon, Busan, and Incheon, performing over 30,000 liposuction surgeries each year. What’s more important is that it focuses exclusively on fat management—offering no services related to Double eyelid surgery or nose augmentation. All its doctors and equipment are dedicated solely to liposuction procedures. If you’re doing your research and wondering how to make an appointment, how much it will cost, and whether it’s worth flying to South Korea for this treatment—this article will give you the honest answers.
What makes 365MC a leading liposuction clinic? Why do people in South Korea choose it?
Since its establishment in 2003, 365MC has accumulated over 20 years of expertise in liposuction treatments. Its mission is clear: it is the only hospital-level specialty center in all of South Korea dedicated solely to fat-related procedures, and it has received multiple certifications from the South Korea Ministry of Health and Welfare. The main branch in Seoul is a 15-story standalone building located along Gangnam-daero in Seocho-gu. It’s just a walk of less than 1 minute from Exit 12 of Gyo-dae Station on Subway Line 2.
Why do even locals in South Korea recommend this place? Three key reasons:
- Specialists for Specific Areas: At 365MC, doctors are assigned to specific body parts—those who specialize in Thighs focus solely on Thighs treatments, while those who handle abdominal procedures concentrate exclusively on that area. Each doctor handles 5 to 10 times more cases of the same treatment area per year compared to ordinary plastic surgery clinics.
- Advanced technology: The proprietary LAMS micro-liposuction technique uses 0.5mm ultra-fine needles combined with high-frequency vibration to separate fat. It reduces blood loss by around 80% compared to traditional liposuction, shortening the recovery period to just 3 to 5 days.
- Same price in China and South Korea: Foreigners and locals enjoy the same pricing schedule, with no hidden rule of charging more just because you’re a foreigner. We previously covered in detail the issue of price transparency at Korean clinics in our special feature on the Ulthrea treatment in Seoul’s Redmark Dermatology, and 365MC does an excellent job in this regard.
365MC’s Core Liposuction Technology: What is LAMS? How is it different from regular liposuction?
365MC’s most significant competitive advantage lies in its LAMS (Lipo-Aspiration Minimal Scar) minimally invasive liposuction technique. This approach serves as a middle ground between traditional surgical liposuction and fat-dissolving injections, with the biggest benefit being that it can be performed under local anesthesia rather than general anesthesia.
Traditional liposuction requires general anesthesia, an incision of 3–5 mm, and the insertion of a thick tube to repeatedly suction out fat. Post-surgery, swelling and pain are quite noticeable, with a recovery period typically lasting 2 to 4 weeks. In contrast, LAMS uses ultra-fine needles just 0.5 mm in diameter—thinner than injection needles—to loosen fat cells through high-frequency vibrations before suctioning them out, resulting in minimal damage to blood vessels and nerves. Patients can usually walk normally the day after the procedure and resume daily activities within 3 to 5 days.

- LAMS is priced per vial: around ₩330,000 to ₩550,000 per vial (containing approximately 50 cc of fat), making it ideal for minor enhancements such as a Double Chin, Accessory Breast (Underarm Fat), or areas above the knees.
- LAMS Infinite Mode: Fat is removed until the target area is fully depleted. The cost for a single area ranges from ₩1,500,000 to ₩4,500,000, making it ideal for areas such as the inner Thighs or waist and abdomen where moderate amounts of fat need to be dealt with.
- Traditional surgical liposuction: Suitable for larger areas with fat thickness over 5cm. Prices range from ₩600,000 per area to ₩31,000,000 for a full body treatment.

Here’s the latest price list for 2026, all listed as starting prices—actual fees will be determined after a consultation. 365MC’s pricing falls in the mid-to-high range in South Korea, but considering its “hospital-grade equipment, specialized doctors, and post-procedure hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy for swelling reduction,” its value for money is actually quite outstanding.

Three real cases: What did they say after their treatment?
The following three are Chinese clients who actually visited the 365MC Seoul headquarters within the past year. They have different body types, needs, and budgets, but one thing is common among them—all made their appointments through BeautsGO.
Case 1: 28-year-old office worker — 360-degree liposuction on Thighs
Amy, who works in the finance industry in Taipei, has always had a pear-shaped figure—SWOMAN size for her upper body and L size for her lower body. She tried fitness coaching, keto diets, and 168-hour fasting, losing 8 kilograms in total, but only 1 centimeter from her Thighs circumference.
I spent two months researching on Dcard, and the reason I finally settled on 365MC is simple—it’s the only hospital-level facility in South Korea dedicated solely to liposuction. I don’t speak Korean, and I was most worried that during the in-person consultation the doctor would talk non-stop in a language I couldn’t understand and then ask me to sign something.
Amy booked an appointment with Dr. Lee Sang-wook for Wednesday morning through the BeautsGO APP. A Chinese-speaking interpreter was present throughout the pre-operative consultation. The doctor used a 3D scanner to analyze the fat distribution in her Thighs and recommended liposuction around the inner, outer, back sides of her Thighs as well as the inner side of her knees, estimating that 2,800 centum core of fat would need to be removed.
“The day of the surgery wasn’t as scary as I had imagined. The injections for anesthesia did hurt a bit, but once it took effect, I felt nothing at all—I even fell asleep during the procedure. When I woke up, my Compression Garment was already on, and the nurse brought me a cup of hot chocolate.”
One month after the procedure, the circumference of my Thighs went from 58cm to 52cm, so I finally didn’t have to struggle to pull jeans up because they got stuck. What touched me the most was that on the third day after the surgery, when I asked the nurse if it was normal for the wound to be a bit red, she still replied to me at 2 a.m. This sense of being taken seriously is something I rarely experience at clinics in Taiwan.
“I only started to regret it after getting the Thighs Liposuction — regretting that I hadn’t done it sooner. My weight didn’t change much, but I looked like I had lost 5 kilograms; my pants went straight from size L to M.” — Amy, 28, Taipei
Case 2: 35-year-old mother of two — Abdominal and waist liposuction
Xiao Qi, who gave birth to two children, has already returned to her pre-pregnancy weight, but the loose fat around her belly just won’t go away. She’s tried Thermage and cryolipolysis, spending a lot of money with little to no noticeable results.
I saw a comment under that article comparing the prices of Thermage in South Korea and Taiwan, saying, “Devices won’t help with postpartum sagging; liposuction is the fastest solution.” That’s when I decided to fly to South Korea right away.
She made an appointment with Dr. Kim Hyung-jun. During the consultation, Dr. Kim communicated with her in Chinese (having learned the language on his own to serve Asian patients), and recommended a combination treatment that included liposuction of the upper abdomen, lower abdomen, and Flanks, along with 5D fat Jogak — not only removing excess fat but also helping to define her abdominal muscle contours.
“The surgery takes about 2 hours. When I woke up, my abdomen was tightly wrapped, giving me a sense of ‘finally relief’. The first week after the procedure is quite tough—the Compression Garment can feel a bit suffocating, but thinking about how flat my stomach would become helps me endure it.”
Three months later, the results became fully visible—Xiao Qi’s waist size dropped from 82 cm to 71 cm, and her abdomen became flat enough for her to wear belly-baring outfits. “Most importantly, I used to have a noticeable ‘swim ring’ around my waist with any pants I wore, but now it’s completely gone. My husband says I look like I’ve gone back to college days.”
“To be honest, the recovery period after liposuction was tougher than I expected, and wearing a Compression Garment is really uncomfortable. But every morning when I look in the mirror and see my flat stomach, I think it’s all worth it.” — Xiao Qi, 35, Taichung
Case 3: 22-year-old college student — LAMS treatment for arms + Accessory Breast (Underarm Fat)
Kelly, who is studying in Seoul as an exchange student, has long been troubled by “butterfly sleeves.” Despite weighing only 48 kilograms, soft flesh puffs up on her arms whenever they hang down, making it impossible for her to wear sleeveless clothes in summer. With a limited budget of around 1.5 million Korean won, she struggles to find solutions.
“I compared several clinics on BeautsGO and found that 365MC offers a ‘student discount program’. The LAMS arm liposuction procedure fell right within my budget. What’s more, it doesn’t require general anesthesia or hospitalization, with a recovery period of just 3 days—making it truly convenient for students.”
She arrived at 10 a.m. on the day of the surgery. A Chinese-speaking consultant first conducted a 3D fat scan to determine the thickness and distribution of the fat. After anesthesia, the entire procedure took about an hour. Kelly said, “It felt like someone was giving my arm a deep massage — there was a tingling sensation, but no pain at all.”
She returned to school to attend classes that very afternoon after the procedure. Her arm was wrapped in an elastic bandage, which was hidden under a long-sleeved jacket, so no one could tell. A week later, the swelling subsided, and the circumference of her arm dropped from 28 cm to 24 cm. “Before, when I raised my arm to say goodbye, the flesh on my arm would swing back and forth, but now it doesn’t happen at all. Finally, I can go out in sleeveless clothes during summer — the joy is truly indescribable.”
“I originally only planned to get treatments on my arms. The results were so great that I went back and had treatment for my Double Chin as well. 365MC’s LAMS is truly the best value option for students—no general anesthesia needed, quick recovery, and reasonable prices.” — Kelly, 22, Seoul
Medical Team: Who will perform the surgery on you?
365MC’s team of doctors operates under a unique system: they specialize in specific areas, with each doctor focusing on one particular procedure. In regular plastic surgery clinics, doctors might perform Double eyelid surgery in the morning, nose augmentation in the afternoon, and liposuction in the evening—handling everything but excelling at nothing. 365MC does the opposite; its doctors concentrate solely on the areas they are most skilled in.
- Kim Ha-jin (Chief Representative): Doctor of Medicine from Kyung Hee University, Vice President of the Korean Society of Obesity Science, and recipient of the Minister of Health and Welfare Award three times. She is responsible for overseeing the overall medical quality at the clinic as well as handling complex reconstructive cases.
- Lee Sun-ho (President of the Daejeon branch): He has performed over 24,000 liposuction surgeries in total, earning him the nickname “24,000MC.” As president of the Korean Liposuction Association, he also serves as the lead surgeon for liposuction segments on South Korea’s TV show “Let’s Be Beautiful.” He is an ideal choice for those who had unsatisfactory results from previous liposuction procedures and need revision surgery.
- Kim Hyung-jun: Graduated from Yonsei University School of Medicine, specializing in personalized body sculpting and hydrodynamic liposuction. With 15 years of experience and over 5,000 procedures performed, he’s the ideal choice for those aiming to achieve a perfect waist-to-hip ratio and defined Legs.
- Lee Sang-wook: Graduated from the School of Medicine at Seoul National University, he specializes in 1.2mm microneedle liposuction, with expertise in fine sculpting of small areas such as the face, arms, and calves.
- Choi Jun-hyuk: A graduate of the College of Medicine at Korea University, he specializes in large-area layered liposuction (treating shallow, middle, and deep layers), making him ideal for body contouring across multiple areas.
As mentioned in our guide to booking appointments at the 365MC Dermatology clinic in Gangnam, there’s a significant gap in South Korea’s medical aesthetics industry between “consultations conducted by the clinic director personally” and cases where “the appointment is listed under the director’s name but handled by someone else in reality.” 365MC has clear policies on this matter—once you specify which doctor you want for your appointment, that same doctor will handle the entire procedure from start to finish, with no changes made mid-way.
What should you pay attention to before and after the procedure?
Pre-surgery preparation: 365MC offers a free pre-operative consultation, which includes a 3D ultrasound fat scan and cardiovascular assessment—taking about 40 minutes in total. Based on your fat distribution map and overall health condition, they will develop a customized liposuction plan for you. It is recommended to quit smoking and drinking, as well as stop using blood thinners such as aspirin and fish oil, at least two weeks before the procedure.
Post-operative recovery: The recovery period for LAMS minimally invasive liposuction is around 3–5 days, while traditional surgical liposuction takes about 1–2 weeks. Patients are required to wear a Compression Garment for 1–3 months (the clinic provides custom-fitted ones). Swelling and bruising may occur initially, but these symptoms improve significantly within 2–4 weeks. 365MC also offers free hyperbaric oxygen therapy to reduce swelling and speed up recovery—a service that typically costs extra at other clinics in Gangnam.
Long-term Results: The fat cells removed through liposuction do not regenerate, but the remaining fat cells can still change in size. By keeping weight fluctuations within a moderate range (within ±3 kilograms), the results can generally be maintained for a long time.
