Body Contouring by Area in Cheongdam, Gangnam — fat dissolving, liposuction or tightening, matched to each area.
ARTNER is an internal-medicine-led body contouring clinic in Cheongdam, Gangnam, Korea. For twelve body areas — from belly fat and love handles to double chin, arms, thighs and calves — we offer three signature routes: dissolve with the patented ARTNER Injection, slim & tighten with ART-TUNE, or remove for good with ART-FAT awake liposuction. Every area page diagnoses the cause first (fat, skin, muscle or visceral), compares the three routes with KRW prices, and tells you how many days in Seoul each takes.

Full torso in one session: 360 liposuction in Gangnam, Korea(₩4,890,000, 10–14 days). A firm belly that does not pinch is visceral fat — none of the routes reach it; that is Wegovy and Mounjaro in Gangnam, Korea first. Every price: Liposuction prices in Cheongdam, Gangnam.
How many days in Seoul does body contouring take?
Every area plan at ARTNER Cheongdam is sized to a short international visit — plan on WhatsApp first, fly second, recover in Gangnam, follow up from home.
1–2 days per visit
Consult and first session on day 1, a second before you leave if your stay allows. No downtime; remaining sessions on a second trip or spaced remotely.
5–7 days
Chin, knees, flanks, back, calves, mons pubis — often fully awake with a 30-minute discharge, stitches and aftercare day 7, fly short-haul in 1–2 weeks.
7–10 days
Light sedation, a check on day 3–4, two aftercare visits, long-haul flights 3–4 weeks after. Lower body settles slower than upper.
Liposuction + injection
ART-FAT on the main volume first, injection or ART-TUNE on smaller pockets after the recovery window — the most common plan for patients staying a week or more.

Why is body contouring at ARTNER Gangnam held to a medical standard?
The routes matter — but so does who plans them, and how. This sits behind every area on this page, for every international patient who flies to Cheongdam.
Led by an internal-medicine specialist
Director Dr. Hye-woo Pyeon is an Internal Medicine specialist — every patient is screened for cardiovascular, metabolic and endocrine health before anything begins. We honestly decline a case when it isn't safe yet.
A cleaner injection, an awake lipo
The ARTNER Injection is formulated with no steroids, no hyaluronidase and no PPC. And ART-FAT liposuction is performed awake — no general anesthesia, no compression-garment weeks.
Protocols we own
ARTNER Injection, ART-TUNE and ART-FAT are registered with the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) — patented and trademarked. You receive the originals only here.

Who plans body contouring at ARTNER Cheongdam?
Body contouring is not about taking the most fat or selling the biggest package. It is about reading one body honestly — is this fat, skin, muscle or visceral? — and choosing the one route that suits it. Sometimes that is the smallest one, and sometimes it is internal medicine first.

Body contouring in Korea — questions answered.
Three signature routes for almost every area: ARTNER Injection dissolves fat non-surgically over a six-session course; ART-TUNE dissolves and tightens the skin together; ART-FAT is awake liposuction that removes the fat cells in one procedure. Each Gangnam area page compares all three by cause, cost in Korea, recovery time and days in Seoul.
ARTNER Injection: non-surgical, no downtime, for mild, pinchable fat. ART-TUNE: injection plus RF skin tightening for areas prone to laxity — post-pregnancy belly, inner arms, inner thighs. ART-FAT: awake liposuction under local anesthesia for real volume, permanently. Hip dips are the exception — filled with fat grafting, not reduced.
By the cause, not by preference: a pinchable pocket → injection; real volume → ART-FAT; fat with loose skin → ART-TUNE; a firm belly that does not pinch → visceral fat, internal medicine first; a square jaw → muscle, not fat. Send two photos and ARTNER Cheongdam tells you which within 24 hours.
Twelve: abdomen, love handles, thighs, arms, back and bra line, knee, calves, mons pubis (FUPA), hips (fat grafting for hip dips), double chin, face and cheeks, and neck. Adjacent areas are often planned together — abdomen with flanks, or 360 for abdomen, flanks and back in one session.
ARTNER Injection from ₩1,200,000 per six-session course per area; ART-FAT from ₩1,190,000 per area (₩1,630,000 for arms, full abdomen and outer thighs), 360 ₩4,890,000; ART-TUNE from ₩3,990,000 per course. KRW, ex-VAT, identical to the Korean price list at ARTNER Cheongdam — no foreigner surcharge.
Yes. ART-FAT is performed under tumescent local anesthesia — light sedation only for large areas, never general anesthesia — and single small areas such as chin, knees and flanks are often fully awake with a 30-minute discharge. No compression-garment weeks; 2:1 Accent Prime aftercare instead.
1–2 days per visit for injection, ART-TUNE or face sessions; 5–7 days for a small single liposuction area; 7–10 days for abdomen, thighs, arms or 360. Fly short-haul 1–2 weeks after a small area, long-haul 3–4 weeks after large areas. ARTNER Cheongdam confirms a personal timeline before you book.
Swelling peaks day 1–3, bruising fades over 2–4 weeks, the line appears at 2–3 months and the final result at about six months; lower body settles slower than upper. Injection and ART-TUNE have no downtime. The 2–4-week stage looks lumpy for everyone — ARTNER judges results at three months.
ARTNER's proprietary lipolytic, patent-registered in Korea and deliberately formulated with no steroids, no hyaluronidase and no PPC — ingredients in many generic fat-dissolving shots that can cause hardening or uncontrolled spread. The composition is shown at consultation in Cheongdam.
No. All three routes reduce fat under the skin or laxity in a specific area and barely change body weight. Visceral fat and body weight are internal medicine — Wegovy or Mounjaro prescribed at ARTNER Cheongdam only where Korean criteria are met, after an in-person consultation — with contouring afterwards on what remains.
Yes. The most common plan for international patients is ART-FAT on the main volume (or 360 for the whole torso) plus ARTNER Injection or ART-TUNE on smaller pockets after the recovery window, sequenced so recoveries do not overlap. Face sessions are easily added to any body visit in Gangnam.
Fat cells removed by ART-FAT or dissolved by the injection courses do not return; remaining cells can enlarge with significant weight gain, so results hold while weight is stable — fat does not move elsewhere. ARTNER tracks body composition with InBody at follow-up.
Because the first decision is medical: is this subcutaneous fat, visceral fat, loose skin, separated muscle — and is the patient safe for a procedure? Dr. Hye-woo Pyeon screens every case (cardiovascular, metabolic, endocrine) at ARTNER Cheongdam before any route is planned, and declines or postpones a case that is not safe yet.
