[Experience Report 04] South Korea's 365MC Liposuction Real Case Awards: Arm circumference reduced by a whopping 5 cm! Discover how Lanz liposuction helps you achieve the freedom to wear strapless dresses.

說實話,我一直覺得「手臂」是我全身最難搞的部位。

不管怎麼節食、怎麼舉啞鈴,那兩坨「拜拜肉」就是死死黏在我上臂不肯走。夏天穿無袖?門都沒有。去年跟閨蜜去海邊,全程披著一件防曬衫,熱到快中暑也不敢脫——那種憋屈感,懂的都懂。

今年3月,我在朋友慫恿下研究了韓國的吸脂醫院。對比了好幾家,最後鎖定了「亞洲吸脂量第一」的365mc醫院。它家最吸引我的點就三個:局部麻醉就能做、不用穿塑身衣、恢復期短到離譜。

做完當天我就後悔了——後悔沒早點來。術後第2天抬手洗頭,第3天正常出門逛街,現在三個月過去,手臂圍從29cm變成24cm,整整降了5cm!這篇文章就來跟大家分享我的真實體驗,包括價格、面診、手術過程、恢復記錄和最重要的——這家醫院到底靠不靠譜。

為什麼選365mc?我在首爾跑了3家吸脂醫院

在決定做吸脂之前,我其實去了好幾家。有一家院長講得很專業但報價虛高,另一家環境一般還推銷一堆附加項目,唯獨365mc給我的感覺是——專業、透明、不硬推。

它是亞洲唯一專注肥胖管理超過20年的專科醫院,不是那種「什麼都做」的綜合醫美。整棟大樓15層全是他們的,光是專業吸脂手術室就有14間——這規模在韓國也是數一數二的。

還有一點讓我放心:中韓同價,零面診費。之前聽說有些醫院對外國人會偷偷加價,365mc直接在BeautsGO上標明了中韓價格一致,這點對我們外國人實在太友好。

My entire experience at the clinic: It took only 2 hours from making an appointment to actually undergoing the surgery.

I made my reservation through the BeautsGO App, provided my basic information, and specified the treatment I wanted to schedule – arm liposuction. The next day, I received a confirmation message from the Chinese customer service team. The entire process went very smoothly. Here are the specific steps:

1. Online reservation: Select a 365MC hospital on BeautsGO, fill out the consultation form for arm liposuction, and you will receive a response from the Chinese customer service within 24 hours after submission.

Report at the clinic between 2 PM and 6 PM – Exit No. 12 of the Education University Station on Line 2 of the subway, and it’s less than a minute’s walk from there. The exterior of the building is quite unassuming, but the interior is extremely spacious. There are Chinese-speaking receptionists in the lobby on the first floor; you just need to fill out a simple form.

33D Body Fat Scanning – This is definitely the most advanced technology I’ve ever encountered. A device called the “Body Composition Analyzer” can generate a detailed report on your body fat distribution in just a few minutes. It clearly shows which arm has more fat and which area lacks sufficient muscle mass.

4 doctor consultations — I was assigned to see Dr. Lee Sang-wook for the consultation. He graduated from the School of Medicine at Seoul National University and has specialized in minimally invasive liposuction for 12 years. He pinched my arm to examine the fat layer and, after reviewing the 3D report, said, “You have typical superficial fat accumulation; 2-3 LAMS procedures will be sufficient, and general anesthesia is not needed.”

5. Price Confirmation & Consent Form – The director clearly outlined the treatment plan and prices, with no hidden fees at all. For my arm, the selected treatment was the circumferential aspiration method using 3 LAMS tubes, and the quoted price was 16,700 yuan, which included post-operative swelling management and 3 follow-up examinations using AI technology. After confirming that there were no issues, I signed the consent form.

6. Changing into surgical attire and entering the operating room — After changing into the clothes, a nurse led me into the operating room. Once I lay down, local anesthesia was administered. Throughout the entire process, I remained conscious; in fact, the doctor even asked me what drama series I was watching recently to help me relax.

The entire process, from entering the clinic to going into the operating room, took approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. It was much faster than I expected, and there was absolutely no frustration associated with having to wait in line for half a day.

What is LAMS liposuction? Why is it called the “lunchtime liposuction”?

It was only after finishing my homework that I realized that 365MC’s LAMS technology is fundamentally different from traditional liposuction. In simple terms…

Comparative projects LAMS Liposuction in Lanzhou Traditional liposuction
Anesthesia method Local anesthesia (while awake) General anesthesia (involves intubation)
Thickness of the probe 2mm – thinner than a human hair 3-5 mm
Wound management At the pinhole level, just apply an OKAY bandage and there is no need for stitching. Sutures need to be removed after healing.
The pain during surgery An average score of 2.4 out of 10 (low level of discomfort) Significant pain after the procedure
Compression Garment Usually, it’s not necessary. It must be worn for 1 to 3 months.
Postoperative activities You can get out of bed within 24 hours and go out into the community in 2 to 3 days. Requires several days of bed rest
The bruise fades away. About 3 days 2 to 4 weeks
AI-assisted ✅ Microsoft jointly developed AI for real-time monitoring ❌ Relying on the doctor’s skill and intuition

The reason why LAMS is called “lunchtime liposuction” is that it is indeed very fast – most procedures on smaller areas, such as the arms, take only 1 to 1.5 hours. Patients can walk home on the same day and resume their normal activities the next day.

Moreover, 365MC has collaborated with Microsoft to develop an AI-powered liposuction system. Before the procedure, a 3D scan is used to precisely plan the liposuction route, and during the operation, the angle and depth of the probe are monitored in real time, with errors kept within 0.1mm. This approach is far more accurate and safer than relying solely on the surgeon’s manual skills.

✦✦✦

My experience on the day of the surgery: It really didn’t hurt at all! I stayed awake throughout the procedure and even chatted with the doctor.

To be honest, I was still nervous the moment I lay on the operating table—after all, it was my first time undergoing any type of cosmetic surgery.

The nurse first marked several points near my armpits—these were the injection sites, chosen in the most concealed areas—and then administered local anesthesia. The stinging sensation lasted for about 5 seconds, after which my entire arm went numb and I felt nothing at all.

When the doctor started the procedure, I could feel something moving beneath my skin, but it didn’t cause any pain at all. It was like someone was gently massaging my arm, accompanied by a slight vibrating sensation. Director Li chatted with me throughout the process and occasionally let me look at the screen, which displayed the amount of fat being removed. Those yellow tubes of fat being extracted gave me a strange sense of satisfaction 😅

The procedure took a little over an hour to complete on both sides of my arm. The nurse helped me clean up the needle holes and applied OKAY bandages. When I looked down, I saw that the wounds were only the size of those made by needles—no exaggeration at all; they were even smaller than the punctures left by Filler injections.

After the procedure, I lay in the rest room for half an hour, drank some water, and made sure there were no discomforts before walking out of the hospital on my own. Yes, I walked out on my own without needing any help at all.

My surgical data Content
Surgical site Circular liposuction on both upper arms (including the Accessory Breast (Underarm Fat) area)
Using technology LAMS Lans Minimally Invasive Liposuction
Anesthesia method local anesthesia
Number of liposuction cannulas used 3 vials (approximately 150 cc of pure fat)
Operation time About 1 hour and 10 minutes
Number of incisions Two needle holes on each side (in the armpits)
Postoperative pain 1.5 out of 10 points (less painful than having my aunt’s tooth pulled)

A detailed record of recovery 7 days after the procedure: Is it really possible to lift one’s hand to wash hair just the next day?

This is the part that surprised me the most. Here is a detailed record of my actual recovery process, day by day:

time Physical sensations Event details
On the same day after the surgery There is a slight swelling in the arm, but no pain. I walked out of the hospital and took the subway back to my hotel.
Day 1 The swelling has increased slightly; my arm feels a bit puffy. Eat normally and watch TV; there’s no need to stay in bed.
The second day The swelling is beginning to subside, but there is still a slight pulling sensation when lifting my hand. ✨I washed my hair myself! Although it took a bit longer.
Day 3 The bruise has faded significantly and is now almost invisible. Going out for shopping or dining – everything is normal.
Day 5 The swelling has basically subsided, and the needle holes have scabbed over. When you wear short-sleeved clothes and go out, the lines of your arms become visible.
Day 7 Returning to a normal life, with noticeably thinner lines Measured arm circumference: 26.5 cm (originally 29 cm)

On the 7th day, my arm circumference had decreased from 29 cm to 26.5 cm. Although I was still in the swelling reduction phase, I could already see obvious changes. One month later, it was 25 cm, and after three months, it stabilized at 24 cm—a total reduction of 5 cm!

The most immediate feeling is that anything I wear looks great. Things like thin shoulder straps, strapless dresses, and off-shoulder outfits that I used to be too shy to wear are now completely okay for me to wear anytime. When my friends see me, they immediately ask, “Did you lose ten pounds?” — But actually, my weight hasn’t changed much; it’s just that the lines of my arms have become smoother, and my overall demeanor has completely changed.

365MC Price List: The same price in China and South Korea, with extremely transparent billing based on the number of treatments used

This is what I consider to be the most outstanding feature of 365MC: the prices are completely transparent. During the consultation, the director will provide you with a specific quote directly, without any middleman fees. Below are the reference prices publicly available on BeautsGO:

Liposuction area Reference price (RMB) Number of LAMS tubes Notes
Double Chin/Jawline Starting from ¥18,800 1-2 tubes For pinhole wounds, you can go out on the same day.
Arm circumferential suction ¥14,100–16,700 2-3 tubes Treatment for Accessory Breast (Underarm Fat) in the armpit area
Back/Accessory Breast (Underarm Fat) ¥12,000–15,000 2-3 tubes Enhance the contours of your back
Circumferential suction around the waist and abdomen ¥20,000–23,600 4-6 tubes Upper and lower abdomen + Flanks
Thighs circumferential liposuction ¥14,500 – 27,200 4-8 tubes Combination of internal, external, and posterior approaches
Comprehensive Body Liposuction Package Starting from ¥100,000 No limit on the number of treatments More than 8 areas

Billing method: LAMS is billed on a per-tube basis. Each tube contains 50 cc of pure fat, and the price starts at 3,000 yuan per tube. If you choose the “Unlimited LAMS” package, you can have as many treatments as needed in that area until you achieve the desired results.

Additional fees: The service includes basic post-operative swelling reduction treatments (such as high-frequency wave therapy/massage), while the cost of prescribed medications is additional and ranges from approximately 50,000 to 150,000 South Korean won. A 10% VAT is added to all medical beauty treatments in South Korea.

For those considering liposuction in Korea: 4 tips you should have known beforehand

Before the consultation, think carefully about your specific needs. Instead of just saying “I want to lose weight on my arms,” it’s better to explain to the doctor which part you are concerned about – whether it’s the inner or outer side of the upper arms, or the Accessory Breast (Underarm Fat) in the armpits. This will help the doctor develop a more targeted treatment plan.

Plan to spend 3-4 days in Seoul. Although you can leave on the same day as the surgery, it is recommended to stay for at least 1-2 days after the procedure to monitor your recovery. Not rushing will give you more peace of mind.

3. Do not engage in strenuous exercise during the first week after the procedure. Daily activities are completely safe, but it is more advisable to wait at least one week before participating in activities such as lifting heavy objects, playing tennis, or swimming.

Download the 365MC post-operative management app. It will track your diet and exercise habits and remind you regularly to go for follow-up check-ups. Using it in conjunction with other methods that result in a rebound rate of less than 5% is truly effective.

Another thing to note: When going to South Korea for medical aesthetics treatments, liposuction is not the only option; many people also take the opportunity to undergo regular skin care. As I mentioorea, there are numerous excellent Dermatology clinics in Seoul that offer services such as laser treatments and hyaluronic acid injections. Since you’re already there, why not schedule these treatments along with your other appointments?

✦✦✦

In summary: Who is 365MC suitable for? And who is it not suitable for?

After three months, my conclusion is:

Suitable for the following groups of people Groups that may not be suitable for this treatment
✅ Stubborn local fat accumulation; exercise and dieting prove ineffective ❌ Severe overweight (BMI > 30; it is recommended to lose weight first).
✅ Fear of pain and the risks associated with general anesthesia ❌ I really hope to lose 20 pounds in one go (liposuction doesn’t equal weight loss).
✅ You don’t want to wear a Compression Garment after the procedure, and you also don’t want to stay in bed. ❌ It is not possible to ensure adequate rest after the procedure.
✅ We strive for natural lines and avoid exaggerated effects. ❌ Looking for arms that achieve an “ultra-fine” appearance
✅ Looking for hospitals in China and South Korea that offer similar prices and transparent pricing mechanisms ❌ Those who are extremely sensitive to prices and have very limited budgets

One last reminder: Liposuction is designed to address localized fat accumulation, not to help with weight loss. If your overall weight is normal but you have difficulty losing fat in areas such as your arms, Thighs, or waist and abdomen, then the LAMS technique is indeed a very worthwhile option to consider at present.

I have also visited other Dermatology clinics in Gangnam for regular skincare treatmentrmatology is really excellent. My current strategy when going to South Korea is to seek different treatments at specialized hospitals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1:365mc的手臂吸脂到底多少錢?有隱藏費用嗎?
The reference price for LAMS arm contouring treatment is RMB 14,100 – 16,700 (for 2 – 3 treatments), including pre-operative 3D scanning, post-operative swelling management, and three AI follow-up assessments. There are no additional consultation fees or hidden charges. In South Korea, a 10% VAT will be added. The cost of prescription medications is approximately KRW 50,000 – 150,000 additional.
Q2:LAMS蘭斯吸脂真的不需要全身麻醉嗎?安全性如何?
LAMS uses local anesthesia, ensuring that patients remain conscious throughout the procedure and able to communicate with their doctors, thus avoiding the risks associated with general anesthesia. 365MC is equipped with dedicated anesthesiologists who monitor the entire process (in many hospitals, this task is undertaken by part-time nurses), and its safety standards rank among the most stringent in South Korea’s medical institutions.
Q3:做完手臂吸脂要穿塑身衣嗎?穿多久?
One of the advantages of the LAMS technique is that it usually doesn’t require the use of a Compression Garment. Since the incisions are only 2 mm in size, the tissue damage is minimal, and recovery can be achieved through the garment’s natural elasticity after the procedure. However, if you choose the “Infinity Lans” extensive treatment option, your doctor may recommend wearing a Compression Garment for 1 to 2 weeks.
Q4:術後多久可以見人?會不會有明顯淤青?
The bruises after the procedure generally subside within about 3 days (whereas traditional liposuction takes 2 to 4 weeks). On the second day, you can go out normally (the bruises are barely noticeable when wearing a mask), and by the third day, it’s almost impossible to tell that you’ve had the surgery. The needle holes are located in the armpits, so they won’t be visible even when wearing short-sleeved clothes.
Q5:365mc手臂吸脂的效果是永久的嗎?會不會反彈?
Liposuction targets the fat cells themselves, and these removed fat cells do not regenerate. However, if you overeat or engage in no physical activity after the procedure, the remaining fat cells may still enlarge. With the use of 365MC’s post-procedure management app, the risk of rebound can be kept below 5%.
Q6:365mc支持中文服務嗎?不會韓文怎麼辦?
365MC provides comprehensive Chinese translation services throughout the entire process – from online consultations, to on-site reception, doctor consultations, and post-operative follow-up – with Chinese-speaking staff available to assist customers at every step. When making an appointment, simply indicate “require Chinese services” on BeautsGO.
Q7:一次可以做多個部位嗎?比如手臂+大腿一起做?
Theoretically, it is possible, but there is a safe upper limit to the total amount of fat that can be removed in each session using the LAMS technique. The doctor will determine this based on your body fat percentage and overall health condition. It is generally recommended not to perform the procedure on more than 4-5 areas at one time. For two larger areas, such as the waist and thighs, it is advisable to divide the treatment into multiple sessions.
Q8:男生的手臂吸脂和女生有什麼不同?
In general, men have harder fat and more fibrous tissue, which requires a more intense liposuction procedure. 365MC offers specialized liposuction solutions for men, with postoperative results that focus on enhancing the “muscle definition” rather than simply reducing weight. Director Lee Sang-wook also has extensive experience in Jogak for male arms.
