Liposuction Korea Price by BMI: De:Light Surgery 2026

Liposuction in Korea at De:Light Surgery (Gangnam Station, Seoul) is priced by BMI range, and all prices include VAT. At BMI 23 or below, the lowest promotional price is ₩3,350,000 for the abdomen, ₩3,850,000 for thighs and ₩2,500,000 for arms. The higher your BMI, the higher the price for the same area.

Why Is Liposuction Pricing in Korea Based on BMI?

Liposuction costs are hard to know in advance, because the same area needs different amounts of work on different body types. Many clinics simply say "we'll quote you after you arrive."

De:Light Surgery near Gangnam Station, Seoul does it differently: body liposuction is priced by BMI range. If you know your height and weight, you can estimate your budget before you leave home instead of finding out the price on site.

This guide shows how to calculate your BMI and how to read the price table.

Step 1: How to Calculate Your BMI

The formula is: BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m)².

The clinic's example is 60 kg and 160 cm: 60 ÷ (1.6 × 1.6) = 60 ÷ 2.56 ≈ 23.4. That falls in the "23–25" range.

Keep two things in mind: convert your height to meters, and use your most recent weight. If your number is close to the border between two ranges, ask the clinic at your consultation which range applies.

Step 2: Liposuction Price Table by Area and BMI

Below are the lowest promotional prices for each area and BMI range (unit: 10,000 won, tax included):

Prices include VAT. Final cost depends on your consultation and examination results.

For someone with a BMI of 23.4, abdomen liposuction is ₩3,750,000 and thigh liposuction is ₩4,250,000.

What Does Each Liposuction Area Include?

The area names on the price list cover quite a lot, so it helps to read them carefully:

• Abdomen liposuction: upper abdomen + lower abdomen + flanks + waist rolls.
• Arm liposuction: the whole arm + accessory breast tissue + underarm. Adding the protruding back area costs ₩350,000 for one side or ₩700,000 for both sides.
• Thigh liposuction: 360 degrees.
• Shoulder & back (bra line) liposuction: 360 degrees.
• Calf liposuction and pubic / mons pubis liposuction are also priced by BMI range.

The clinic states that all body liposuction is 360-degree circumferential, meaning it treats more than just one side of the area.

Price List vs. Lowest Promotional Price: What's the Difference?

For some areas the price table shows two numbers: the regular price list and the lowest promotional price. Here is the abdomen as an example:

Unit: 10,000 won, tax included. Thighs, shoulders & back and pubic area also have two numbers; arms and calves list a single price. Please confirm the conditions for the lowest promotional price at your consultation.

Face Liposuction and Other Add-Ons: How Much?

Face liposuction is not priced by BMI:

Unit: 10,000 won, tax included. De:MIS is a closure that needs no suture removal, so you don't have to make another trip just to have stitches taken out. You can include it in your budget.

Three Tips for Estimating Your Liposuction Budget in Korea

• The unit is 10,000 won: a "335" in the table means ₩3,350,000, not ₩335.
• Multiple areas add up: abdomen plus arms means the price of both areas. Ask at your consultation how pricing works when areas are done together.
• The table is a reference, not a quote: the final cost depends on your consultation and examination, and is confirmed after the doctor sees your actual condition.
