Liposuction Korea Checklist: 8 Things to Confirm at RE:SLIM

Before you pay or sign for liposuction at RE:SLIM Clinic in Seoul, confirm 8 things in person: what body areas the price covers, what is and isn't included, how the price changes if the area changes, payment and receipt, whether Director Lee Jun-woo operates personally, how to request CCTV footage, compression garment and flight timing, and who to contact after you go home. RE:SLIM has no public price list, and consultation, pre-op tests and surgery can all happen on the same day, so these checks must be done before surgery.

Why Confirm Everything Before You Pay for Liposuction in Korea?

At RE:SLIM Clinic, consultation, pre-op tests and surgery can be scheduled on the same day. That is convenient for travelers with limited time, but it also means there is no "go home and think about it" gap between the consultation and the operating room.

RE:SLIM also has no public price list; the price depends on the body area, the range and your body type. So K-Clinic recommends writing your questions down as a checklist and going through them one by one, in person, before you pay or sign.

The 8 items below are split into two groups: 4 about the price, and 4 about surgery and aftercare.

What Should You Confirm About the Price Before Paying?

1. Which areas and range the final price covers. Bring the quote you received and compare it item by item. Even "abdomen" can mean the upper abdomen, lower abdomen or flanks, and the price may differ for each.

2. What is included and what is not. Whether tax, the compression garment, medication and follow-up visits are included is not stated, so confirm before paying.

3. How the price changes if the range is adjusted on the day. At the consultation the doctor may recommend a different range from your quote. If the range changes, ask how the price is calculated before you sign.

4. Payment method and receipt. Card or cash, whether you can pay in installments, and the receipt format should be confirmed at the consultation.

What Should You Confirm About Surgery and Aftercare Before Signing?

5. The surgeon is Director Lee Jun-woo personally. RE:SLIM states that Director Lee Jun-woo (이준우) schedules only 2 surgeries per day and handles each patient one-on-one from consultation through surgery. It is reassuring to confirm once more in person that the director will also operate on the day.

6. How to request the CCTV footage. RE:SLIM's operating room has CCTV, and patients can request to view the footage. The application method, what to prepare and how long it is kept are not stated, so ask before surgery.

7. How long to wear the compression garment and when you can fly. After surgery, wear the compression garment as instructed by the doctor and rest well; flight timing is confirmed by the doctor based on the area and range treated. If your return flight is not yet fixed, the answer to this question will decide it.

8. Who to contact after you go home. Write down which situations need immediate contact, whom to contact and how before you leave. If you book through K-Clinic, you can also contact us after returning home and we will help relay your message.

When Should You Do the Checks on Surgery Day?

On the day of surgery at RE:SLIM, the flow is consultation, pre-op tests, then surgery, followed by rest in a private recovery room before you leave. K-Clinic recommends doing the 8 checks after the consultation and before the pre-op tests, when the director has already seen you and the range has been settled. Confirm the exact payment timing at the consultation.

Follow the clinic's instructions to fast before surgery, tell them about any medication or supplements you take, and bring loose, front-opening clothing that is easy to change in and out of over the compression garment. The clinic provides Chinese and Japanese language support, so you can understand the pre-op checks and aftercare instructions, and you do not need to ask the 8 questions in Korean yourself.
