  • Q1: What is liposuction and how does it work?

  • Q2: Who is a good candidate for liposuction?

    A good candidate for liposuction is someone who is close to their ideal body weight, has good skin elasticity, and is in overall good health. It’s ideal for individuals looking to target stubborn fat areas that don’t respond to diet or exercise.

  • Q4: What are the different types of liposuction available in Gangnam?

  • Q6: How long does liposuction recovery take?

    Recovery time can vary based on the extent of the procedure, but most patients can resume normal activities within 1-2 weeks. Mild swelling and bruising are common and typically subside after a few weeks. Full recovery can take up to 6 months.

  • Q7: Are the results of liposuction permanent?
