Incheon AirportHow much is the fat-dissolving Contour Injection in Gangnam, and what does it do?
₩90,000 ($65 USD) per session buys the Contour Injection (Berry Slim) at RE:BERRY in Gangnam, Seoul — a lipolytic injection placed into a localized facial fat pocket such as the double chin, jawline, or lower cheek. The solution disrupts the fat cells in that mapped area, and the body clears them gradually through its own metabolism over several weeks. It is a spot-contouring treatment for small pockets of fat, not a weight-loss treatment, and it is delivered by a licensed physician at a price published before you book. A visible change usually needs a planned series of 2-4 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart.
Effects & Progress
Effects & Progress
The Contour Injection targets one localized pocket of fat — the double chin, jawline, or lower cheek — so contouring is confined to the mapped area and does not reduce overall face size or body weight.
Mild swelling, tenderness, and sometimes light bruising appear in the treated pocket. The area may look puffy — even fuller — before it looks slimmer. Daily life resumes right away.
Early swelling settles and the body begins clearing the disrupted fat cells. A visible change from a single session is usually subtle at this stage.
The next session in the series is typically spaced here. Contour change from each session accumulates as the body continues clearing the treated fat; response speed varies by individual.
Review period across the planned course. When a completed series clears a fat pocket the change tends to last while your weight stays stable; RE:BERRY confirms whether the plan is complete.

Effects & Progress
A stubborn fat pocket rarely responds to diet or exercise once your weight is stable — it persists under the chin, along the jawline, or in the lower cheek. The Contour Injection places a lipolytic solution directly into that mapped pocket so the effect is confined to the target area. It is spot contouring for a small, defined pocket of fat, not a way to reduce overall face size or body weight, and the physician confirms this framing at consultation.
The lipolytic solution works by disrupting the walls of the fat cells in the injected area. The released material is then cleared by the body through its normal metabolic and immune pathways over the following weeks — a physiological process, with nothing implanted. That is why the change is gradual, never overnight, and why a single session alone usually produces only a subtle result. The contour reduction accumulates as the body clears the treated fat, and response varies by individual.
Because the injected material acts on fat-cell membranes wherever it is placed, precise mapping and appropriate depth matter for both the result and safety. The physician palpates first to confirm the fullness is genuine fat, marks the zone, and places each small injection at a controlled depth so the dose stays within the target pocket. This palpate-and-map-first, conservative approach is why patient selection and accurate placement are treated as central to the session, never an afterthought.
The Contour Injection is planned as a short series, not a single visit, because each session disrupts part of the fat and the body clears it gradually. Most people need a planned course of 2-4 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart, and the physician decides at each review whether another session is warranted, leaving the count open. Downtime is real but limited: mild swelling, tenderness, and sometimes light bruising for a few days, with no wound, so daily life resumes right away. A full outcome cannot be promised and varies by individual.

What the Contour Injection in Gangnam Delivers — and How the Result Builds
- Spot-contouring for a localized fat pocket: the Contour Injection (Berry Slim) targets a mapped area such as the double chin, jawline, or lower cheek, and is planned for small pockets of fat, not for overall face size or body weight
- Plainly put, not a weight-loss treatment: it does not reduce body weight, appetite, or fat anywhere except the small area injected — the physician confirms this at consultation so expectations are set correctly
- Published price you can verify before booking: the Contour Injection (Berry Slim) is ₩90,000 ($65 USD) per session at RE:BERRY Gangnam, and the bill matches that figure with no add-on charges
- Gradual, physiological clearance: the solution disrupts fat cells locally and the body removes them through its own metabolism over weeks, so the change appears progressively in the weeks after each visit
- Planned as a short series: most people need 2-4 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart, and the physician decides at each review whether another session is warranted, with no fixed count committed upfront
- Same physician from palpation and mapping through every injection to your review — your Contour Injection case in Gangnam is never passed to another practitioner mid-course
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Mild swelling, tenderness, and sometimes light bruising in the treated pocket — this is the expected downtime, and the area may look fuller before it looks slimmer | |
| Early swelling settles; the body begins clearing the disrupted fat cells, though a visible change from a single session is usually subtle at this stage | |
| The next session in the series is typically spaced here; contour change from each session accumulates as the body continues clearing the treated fat | |
| The fuller contour result appears gradually across the 2-4 planned sessions; individual response varies and cannot be promised, and the physician confirms whether the plan is complete |
Contour Injection vs Jaw Botulinum vs InMode FX — Choosing a Contouring Path in Gangnam
| Criteria | Contour Injection (Berry Slim) (RE:BERRY Gangnam) | Jaw Botulinum (Masseter) | InMode FX (RF Contouring) |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it treats | A localized pocket of fat — double chin, jawline, lower cheek | An enlarged chewing muscle (masseter) that squares the jaw | Skin laxity and soft-tissue fullness with a firming goal |
| Mechanism | Lipolytic solution disrupts fat cells locally; the body clears them over weeks | Relaxes the masseter muscle so it reduces in bulk over time | Radiofrequency heating that contracts tissue and stimulates collagen |
| Best target | Genuine, pinchable fat that is not skin, muscle, or fluid | A wide jaw driven by muscle rather than fat | Loose or crepey skin more than a discrete fat pocket |
| Delivery | A series of small injections into the mapped fat pocket | A small number of injections into the muscle | Applicator passes over the treated zone |
| Sessions needed | Typically 2-4, spaced 2-4 weeks apart | Repeated when the effect wears off | Often planned as a short series |
| Downtime | Mild swelling, tenderness, sometimes light bruising for a few days | Little to none | Mild redness or warmth |
| When result shows | Gradually across the series as fat clears | As the muscle slims over the weeks that follow | Builds as collagen remodels |
| Published price | ₩90,000 ($65 USD) per session | Consultation required | Consultation required |
Why This Matters
These three treatments are not interchangeable because they act on different tissues: the Contour Injection dissolves a localized pocket of fat, jaw botulinum relaxes an overactive chewing muscle, and InMode FX heats skin to firm it. A wide lower face can be caused by fat, by muscle, or by lax skin — sometimes by more than one — hence the physician at RE:BERRY Gangnam palpates the area first to identify what is actually there before recommending a path.
Seoul pricing is a large part of why facial-contouring treatments in Gangnam draw medical travelers. RE:BERRY publishes the Contour Injection (Berry Slim) at ₩90,000 ($65 USD) per session, and because it is a spot treatment planned as a short series, guests can ask upfront for a written estimate of the likely session count so the full plan is transparent before anything begins.
Continuity matters most when a treatment spans several visits. KHIDI's 2025 survey reports that 38.6% of international patients in Korea returned four or more times, and a multi-session series like the Contour Injection is exactly where that continuity pays off: at RE:BERRY the physician who palpates and maps your fat pocket places every injection and reviews each stage personally.

The Evidence Behind Injection Lipolysis for Localized Fat
Injection lipolysis is the practice of injecting a lipolytic solution directly into a small, localized pocket of subcutaneous fat to disrupt the fat cells in that area, after which the body clears the released material through its normal metabolic and immune pathways. Laboratory work established the mechanism: a controlled study of the injected agent on cultured cells and tissue documented that it disrupts fat-cell membranes and triggers local cell breakdown, the physiological basis for the gradual reduction seen clinically over the following weeks.
Rotunda AM, Suzuki H, Moy RL, Kolodney MS. Detergent effects of sodium deoxycholate are a major feature of an injectable phosphatidylcholine formulation used for localized fat dissolution. Dermatol Surg. 2004;30(7):1001-1008. doi:10.1111/j.1524-4725.2004.30305.x
Randomized clinical trials then tested the approach for a specific localized target — the fat beneath the chin. A phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of injection lipolysis for submental fullness reported significant reductions in the treated fat pocket over a planned series of sessions compared with placebo, with the improvement building up gradually across the sessions. Reported reactions were largely local and transient — swelling, tenderness, firmness, and occasional bruising at the injection site — consistent with the downtime outlined at consultation.
Ascher B, Hoffmann K, Walker P, Lippert S, Wollina U, Havlickova B. Efficacy, patient-reported outcomes and safety profile of ATX-101 (deoxycholic acid), an injectable drug for the reduction of unwanted submental fat: results from a phase III, randomized, placebo-controlled study. J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol. 2014;28(12):1707-1715. doi:10.1111/jdv.12377
A second large randomized trial in a separate patient population confirmed the same pattern: repeated sessions of the injectable produced graded reductions in submental fat versus placebo, and satisfaction tracked the visible contour change. Across these trials the treatment is characterized as a localized contouring intervention for a defined fat pocket — it is studied and indicated for spot reduction of a mapped area, not as a method of lowering body weight, which is the straightforward framing the physician at RE:BERRY Gangnam uses at consultation.
Jones DH, Carruthers J, Joseph JH, et al. REFINE-1, a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial with ATX-101, an injectable drug for submental fat reduction. Dermatol Surg. 2016;42(1):38-49. doi:10.1097/DSS.0000000000000578
Because the injected material acts on fat-cell membranes wherever it is placed, precise mapping of the target pocket and appropriate depth matter for both result and safety — which is why the physician palpates first to confirm the fullness is genuine fat and marks the zone before any injection. A review of injection-lipolysis safety across reported series emphasizes that outcomes and side-effect profiles depend on correct patient selection, accurate placement into subcutaneous fat, and a conservative, staged dosing plan — the same conservative, session-by-session approach used at RE:BERRY Gangnam.

Questions International Guests Ask About the Contour Injection in Gangnam
How much does the fat-dissolving Contour Injection cost in Gangnam, Seoul in 2026?
₩90,000 ($65 USD) per session covers the Contour Injection (Berry Slim) for one localized area at RE:BERRY Gangnam — the regular rate, VAT included, published before you book with no add-ons. Because a series is usually planned, ask for a written estimate of the likely session count at consultation. The home page price section lists the full contouring line-up.
How many sessions do I need for a double chin?
Most people need a planned series of 2-4 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart for a submental (double chin) fat pocket, because each session disrupts part of the fat and the body clears it gradually. The physician does not commit to a fixed count upfront — at each review, after palpating and comparing photos, they decide whether another session is warranted. A single session alone rarely produces the full change.
Is the Contour Injection a weight-loss treatment?
No. This is important and the physician states it plainly at consultation: the Contour Injection is a spot-contouring treatment for a small, localized pocket of fat, such as under the chin or along the jawline. It does not reduce body weight, appetite, or fat anywhere except the small area injected. If your goal is overall weight change, this is not the right treatment and the physician will tell you so.
How long does swelling last, and what downtime should I expect?
Expect limited, predictable downtime: mild swelling, tenderness, and sometimes light bruising in the treated area, typically for a few days. The area can look puffy — even fuller — before it looks slimmer, which is normal as the body responds. There is no wound and daily life resumes right away, though you may prefer to schedule the first session when you have a day or two before any important event.
Who is a good candidate for the Contour Injection?
A good candidate has a small, genuine, pinchable pocket of fat in a suitable spot — the double chin, jawline, or lower cheek — and a stable weight. The physician palpates the area first to confirm the fullness is genuinely fat, as opposed to loose skin, muscle, or fluid. It is not scheduled during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or over an active infection or inflammation in the area, and the physician screens for these at consultation.
How does the fat-dissolving injection actually work?
A lipolytic solution is injected in small amounts across a mapped fat pocket at a controlled depth. It disrupts the walls of the fat cells in that local area, and over the following weeks the body clears the released material through its own metabolism. That physiological clearance is why the change is gradual, and why the treatment is delivered as a spaced series across separate visits.
Contour Injection vs jaw botulinum — which do I need in Gangnam?
It depends on what is making the lower face full. The Contour Injection dissolves a localized pocket of fat, while jaw botulinum relaxes an enlarged chewing muscle.
| Feature | Contour Injection | Jaw Botulinum |
|---|---|---|
| Targets | A fat pocket | The masseter muscle |
| Mechanism | Dissolves fat locally | Relaxes muscle bulk |
| Downtime | Mild swelling a few days | Little to none |
Can I combine the Contour Injection with jaw botulinum or firming?
Sometimes a wide lower face is caused by more than one thing — fat plus a bulky muscle, or fat plus lax skin. In those cases the physician may stage the Contour Injection with jaw botulinum or with a firming path such as InMode FX, because each addresses a different tissue. The sequence and spacing are set at consultation, and each treatment is priced separately with a written plan.
Does the injection hurt, and is numbing used?
You will feel the small injections and often a brief stinging or warmth as the solution is placed, followed by tenderness in the treated area afterward. Numbing options are discussed and applied for comfort, and the physician adjusts to your feedback. Comfort cannot be promised to be identical for everyone, but the setup is designed to keep the session manageable, and any post-session soreness typically eases within a few days.
How soon can I fly home after a session?
There is no wound, so flying is generally fine the same day or the next day; the main consideration is the temporary swelling and tenderness in the treated area, which some guests prefer to let settle before a long flight. If you are planning a series, ask the coordinator about timing your sessions across the trip so the spacing works with your travel dates.
How long do the results last, and is maintenance needed?
When a fat pocket is cleared, those fat cells are gone from the treated area, so the contour change from a completed series tends to be lasting as long as your weight stays stable. Significant weight gain can enlarge remaining fat cells and change the contour again. The physician reviews your result and advises whether any further session is worthwhile; a full outcome cannot be promised and varies by individual.
Am I a good candidate, or should I consider a different treatment?
If your concern is a small localized fat pocket, the Contour Injection may suit you. If the fullness is mostly loose or crepey skin, a firming path is more appropriate; if it is a bulky chewing muscle, jaw botulinum fits better; and if your goal is overall weight, this treatment is not the answer. The physician at RE:BERRY Gangnam palpates and assesses first, and will say so directly if the injection is not the right tool.

Science Injection lipolysis for localized fat — peer-reviewed references
Injection lipolysis for a localized fat pocket rests on a mechanistic and clinical evidence base. The laboratory basis was characterized by Rotunda (2004), which documented that the injected agent disrupts fat-cell membranes and drives local cell breakdown. Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trials then tested the approach for submental (under-chin) fat: Ascher (2014) and Jones (2016, REFINE-1) both reported graded reductions in the treated fat pocket over a spaced series of sessions versus placebo, with improvement building gradually and reactions that were largely local and transient — swelling, tenderness, and occasional bruising at the injection site. A long-term systematic review and case series (Thomas 2018) emphasized that results and safety depend on correct patient selection and accurate placement into subcutaneous fat, supporting the palpate-and-map-first, conservative staged dosing used at RE:BERRY. Across this literature the treatment is framed as spot contouring of a defined pocket, not a weight-loss intervention.
