Body Sculpting

Quick Intro

VEI Clinic Apgujeong offers English-friendly body sculpting for small, stubborn bulges and gentle definition—without surgery.

What Is Body Sculpting?

A non-surgical approach that targets pinchable fat and mild contour issues using doctor-selected technologies and injectables. We personalize plans around your goals, skin quality, and downtime tolerance.

Modalities we offer (case-by-case):

• Injection lipolysis (fat-dissolving injections): deoxycholic acid–based formulations for small pockets (e.g., double chin, bra line).
• Thermal tightening/contouring: radiofrequency or ultrasound-based devices to improve skin laxity and jawline/abdomen firmness.
• HIFEM/EMS-style muscle toning: high-intensity electromagnetic stimulation to tone core/glutes while you lie comfortably.
• Lymphatic support & aftercare protocols to optimize recovery and comfort.

Good Candidates (Examples)

• Double chin, jowls (carefully selected), upper/lower abdomen “pinch,” flanks, bra bulge, back roll, inner/outer thigh, knee, upper arm
• Mild skin laxity after weight change or pregnancy
• Patients preferring gradual, low-downtime improvements

Who Might Not Be a Candidate

• Pregnant/breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy soon
• Large-volume fat reduction goals better suited to surgery
• Active skin infections, uncontrolled medical conditions
• Body dysmorphic concerns or unrealistic expectations (we’ll guide you safely)

How We Choose Your Plan

• Assess tissue type: fat thickness, skin elasticity, muscle tone
• Map safety zones: avoid critical nerves/vessels; measure treatable “pinch”
• Pick tools: injections, energy devices, or a combined approach
• Set timeline: typically 2–4 sessions per area, 4–8 weeks apart
• Track progress: standardized photos and tape measurements

Visit Flow (What to Expect)

• Brief consult → goals, medical history, photos
• Marking & consent → exact zones, session count, expectations
• Treatment → targeted injections and/or device session (20–45 min/area)
• Post-care → cooling, lymphatic tips, activity guidance
• Follow-up → review at 4–8 weeks to plan the next session

Preparation (Simple Checklist)

• Avoid NSAIDs, high-dose omega-3, or vitamin E for 3–5 days if your doctor agrees
• Avoid dental/facial procedures close to your treatment day (for head/neck areas)
• Hydrate well; eat a light meal
• Wear loose clothing for abdomen/flank sessions
• Share medications/supplements (especially anticoagulants, retinoids, steroids)

Aftercare (Checklist)

• Ice intermittently on the first day if tender/swollen
• Light activity same day; gym after 24–48 hours as tolerated
• Avoid sauna/heat and heavy alcohol for 24–48 hours
• Do not massage injected areas unless advised
• Watch for increasing redness, severe pain, fever, blisters, numbness → contact us

Downtime & Timeline

• Injection lipolysis: swelling/tenderness 2–7 days (the under-chin area may look fuller before it slims); visible change in 3–6 weeks
• Thermal tightening: mild redness/warmth for a few hours to 1 day; tightening evolves over 6–12 weeks
• HIFEM/EMS: feels like an intense workout; mild soreness 1–2 days; tone improves over 4–8 sessions

Combination Options (Doctor-Guided)

• Tightening after fat reduction to refine edges
• Muscle toning to enhance abdominal line/pelvic stability
• Weight-management consults for sustainable results
• Neurotoxin/filler for jawline balance (sequenced safely)

Pricing & Insurance Notes

• Fees vary by area size, modality, and number of sessions
• Cosmetic services are usually self-pay; package options available
• Request an itemized English receipt (diagnosis/procedure codes when applicable)

Safety Note (Not an Emergency Service)
