If you have an aversion to surgical procedures then there are a few non-surgical body contouring options. Non-surgical body shaping procedures include fat destroying treatments through machines and fat dissolving injections. Older fat destroying machines would freeze your fat away but they were painful with long recovery times. Newer equipment such as the Ultrafocus Lux System is pain-free with the better results. Fat dissolving injections place a solution in the target area and dissolve portions of the fat in that area. Some swelling occurs which can take 1-2 weeks to dissipate completely. The injections are a bit painful as they are injections after all. This injections are often done on the double chin area and in areas with bulges of fat. Often the machine and injection system are utilized together for best results.  Both methods involve the destruction of fat cells whereby they are turned into substances which are processed out through the body so drinking a lot of water after the procedure is recommended. These procedures do show results but best results are seen after 3-5 sessions. In addition, no non-surgical procedure for body shaping can compare to surgical methods such as liposuction. If you want the best possible improvement then you should take the surgical route. If that is not possible then the non-surgical approach should be considered.   Procedure Time: 30-60 minutes Anesthesia: topical anesthesia Hospitalization: Can leave the hospital after immediately After Surgery Check-ups: 0 Recommended Minimum Time in Seoul: 1 day Recovery Time to Normal Look: 1-2 weeks
