Body Contouring in Seongsu, Seoul

MelFat, Body InMode, Body ONDA and the Melting Diet, led by an obesity specialist

Medically reviewed by Dr. Park Kyung-min, MD, PhD, Medical Director of Seongsu Melting Clinic · Board-certified in Family Medicine · Last reviewed September 2026

Body contouring tends to go well when it starts with medicine rather than marketing. At Seongsu Melting Clinic in Seongsu, Seoul, Dr. Park Kyung-min, a certified obesity specialist, plans body contouring around where your fat sits, how your skin behaves, and whether weight loss is part of the picture.

What is non-surgical body contouring?

Non-surgical body contouring reduces stubborn local fat or tightens skin without surgery. Injections work chemically on fat in a small area; devices use energy such as RF or microwave to heat fat and stimulate collagen. These methods can refine shape, but they are not a substitute for weight loss or for surgery when there is a large amount of fat or loose skin.

How we approach body contouring at Seongsu Melting Clinic

  • MelFat injection: our steroid-free proprietary recipe (patent pending), about 30 minutes, for double chin, accessory breast (armpit fat), arms, abdomen, flanks, thighs, and calves.
  • Body InMode: RF-based contouring with dedicated body handpieces.
  • Body ONDA: microwave energy aimed at fat and skin tightening.
  • Melting Diet program: a 4-step program, including care for patients using GLP-1 medications such as Wegovy or Mounjaro, and a diet IV drip option.

A good fit if…

  • You have stubborn fat pockets that remain despite diet and exercise.
  • You are losing weight and want to manage shape and skin along the way.

Consider something else if…

  • You have a large amount of fat or loose skin that may need surgery.
  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have an active infection in the area.

What to expect

Dr. Park examines fat distribution and skin, then explains options and pricing. After MelFat, swelling, bruising, and a warm feeling are common for a few days and can last longer in some areas. Device sessions often allow a return to routine the same day. Change is gradual, and several sessions are common. Aftercare, including any massage instructions after MelFat, is explained in detail.

Aftercare

  • Follow the specific massage or compression instructions you receive after MelFat.
  • Stay hydrated and keep up regular movement to support recovery.
  • Avoid saunas, alcohol, and very salty food while swelling settles.
  • Message us if swelling, pain, or bruising increases instead of improving.

A note from Dr. Park

Dr. Park developed MelFat after trying double-chin injections on himself and wanting a better recipe. For patients losing weight, he looks at sagging and hollowing separately, because they need different solutions.
