Fat-dissolving injection prices at Dernia (2026)

Fat-dissolving injections use an injectable solution that breaks down small, stubborn pockets of fat, most often under the chin, along the jowls or on the cheeks. Your body then clears the treated fat gradually over several weeks. At Dernia Clinic Myeongdong, the price depends on the number and size of the areas and how many sessions you book.

Option	What it covers	Price (KRW)
One facial area, 1 session	For example, under the chin	₩69,000
Two facial areas, 1 session	Under the chin and jowls	₩129,000
One facial area, 3-session course	About ₩63,000 per session	₩189,000
One body area, 1 session	For example, upper arms or lower abdomen	₩199,000

Prices are in Korean won (KRW), exclude 10% VAT, and are confirmed at your consultation. Several formulations are used in Korea, and your doctor explains which one they recommend for your area and why.

What's included

A consultation in English with a licensed medical doctor, who checks whether the fullness is fat, muscle or loose skin
Cooling or numbing where needed
Injection of the agreed area, which takes 15–20 minutes
Aftercare advice for the swelling that usually follows

What affects the price

Number of areas: under the chin alone is one area. Adding the jowls or cheeks adds another.
Area size: body areas such as the upper arms or abdomen need more solution than the face.
Number of sessions: a course costs less per session than booking one at a time.
Whether it is the right tool: if your lower face looks wide because of muscle, jaw Botox may be better value. If the skin is loose, lifting may help more. Our jaw Botox vs fat-dissolving injection comparison explains the difference.

How many sessions you need and the cost of a full course

Most people need two to four sessions, spaced two to four weeks apart, to see a clear change. Swelling for two to five days is normal after each session, especially under the chin. A three-session course for one area costs ₩189,000 before VAT. Treated fat cells do not grow back, but the fat cells that remain can still enlarge if you gain weight, so a stable weight helps keep the result. Our fat-dissolving injection results guide gives a realistic timeline. On a short trip, you can start with one session in Seoul and continue on a return visit.

How to compare fat-dissolving injection prices between clinics

Clinics in Seoul quote these injections per area, per vial or per cc of solution, and the products differ. Ask what the solution contains, how much is used per area and how many sessions are recommended. A cheaper session that needs more repeats can cost more overall. Our guide to shots, lines and cc explains common pricing units.

VAT and payment

All prices exclude 10% VAT, so a single ₩69,000 session is ₩75,900 at checkout. Since January 1, 2026, foreign patients can no longer claim a VAT refund on cosmetic procedures in Korea. See payment and tax for details.

Alternatives at different budgets

Jaw Botox from ₩59,000 for both sides, when a square lower face comes from muscle rather than fat
InMode Forma and Mini FX from ₩129,000 per session (one area), a needle-free option that uses heat to firm skin and target small fat pockets
Shurink Universe from ₩149,000 for 300 shots, ultrasound lifting for a firmer jawline when the skin has started to loosen

The V-Line Contour Package combines fat-dissolving injections with jaw Botox and Shurink. Browse all Seoul treatment prices, or book a consultation and your doctor will confirm the areas, sessions and price.

How much do fat-dissolving injections cost in Seoul?

At Dernia, they start from ₩69,000 per area for one session, before 10% VAT. Two facial areas are ₩129,000, a three-session course for one area is ₩189,000, and one body area is ₩199,000 per session.

How many sessions will I need?

Most people need two to four sessions, two to four weeks apart. Small pockets under the chin may respond in fewer sessions than larger or firmer areas. Your doctor estimates this at your consultation.

How long does the swelling last?

Swelling, tenderness and firmness usually last two to five days, and the area can look fuller at first. Plan sessions away from important photos or events.

Will the fat come back?

Fat cells that are destroyed do not grow back. The remaining fat cells can still get bigger if you gain weight, so results last best when your weight stays stable.

Who should avoid fat-dissolving injections?

Avoid them if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an infection in the area, or have a bleeding disorder. They are for small fat pockets, not weight loss. Your doctor confirms whether they suit you.
