After taking the Seoul Metro Line 2 to Gangnam Station, I spent a good half-day looking for the location on a map before finally stopping in front of a building labeled “365mc”. This was my third time coming to Korea for cosmetic procedures—previous times I had undergone liposuction on my thighs and arms, and this time it was my abdomen. To be honest, before coming here, the question my friends asked me the most was: “Which clinic in Korea is really the best for liposuction? Should I choose 365mc, Lidian, or Qline?”
As someone who has visited three different Korean clinics for liposuction and experienced their services firsthand, I will share the truth about each of them today and explain why I ultimately chose 365mc.
First, what are the origins of the three leading Korean liposuction clinics?
When researching liposuction clinics in Korea, three names frequently come up: 365mc Hospital, Lidian Plastic Surgery Hospital, and Qline Women’s Hospital. However, their focuses are completely different, so choosing the wrong one could mean wasting your time and money.
- 365mc Hospital: Established in 2003, this clinic has specialized in liposuction for 20 years and has 21 branches across Korea. It is recognized by the Korean Record Center as the “hospital with the highest number of liposuction surgeries in Korea.” Last year, it performed over 13,000 surgeries in just six months—a truly impressive figure. Its core technology combines LAMS local anesthesia minimally invasive liposuction with traditional vacuum liposuction.
- Lidian Plastic Surgery Hospital: This clinic focuses on high-end services and is known for its precise liposuction techniques and excellent post-operative care. The environment is luxurious and business-oriented, and the director himself appears frequently in media, making it a good choice for those with sufficient budget and high expectations for service quality.
- Qline Women’s Hospital: Specializing exclusively in women’s health, this clinic caters only to female patients. From its decor to its post-operative care, everything is designed with women in mind. Its liposuction services mainly target the thighs and abdomen, but opinions about it are quite divided—some love it, while others find its marketing too aggressive.
Second, let’s compare their core technologies: Which clinic is the best at liposuction?
Many people ask me what makes 365mc so good, and I believe there are three key reasons:
- LAMS Technology: 365mc’s proprietary technology uses local anesthesia for minimally invasive fat removal, significantly reducing the recovery time. This makes it ideal for people who are sensitive to pain or have limited time to recover, such as working professionals. Currently, only 365mc offers this technology in Korea; other clinics do not.
- Post-operative management system: This is the aspect of 365mc’s cost-effectiveness that is often overlooked. After the surgery, hospitals will arrange multiple sessions of post-operative treatment using specialized devices to help reduce swelling and tighten the skin. Many hospitals simply “close the case” after the surgery, but 365mc includes post-operative management as part of its package.
- Advantages of a large-scale chain: With 21 branches, it means that no matter which area of Seoul you receive treatment in, you can choose a nearby branch for post-operative care without having to travel long distances each time.
III. Real-price comparison: How much does the difference actually amount to between the three options?
The price of liposuction in Korea has always been a topic of great interest. I have compiled the market trends for 2025-2026:
| Service | Reference price at 365mc (Korean won) | Reference price at Lidian | Reference price at Qline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thigh liposuction | 8 million to 12 million | 12 million to 18 million | 9 million to 14 million |
| Abdominal liposuction | 7 million to 11 million | 10 million to 16 million | 8 million to 13 million |
| Arm liposuction | 5 million to 8 million | 7 million to 10 million | 6 million to 9 million |
| Facial liposuction | 4 million to 6 million | 6 million to 9 million | 5 million to 7 million |
💡 Warm reminder: The prices above are for reference only. The actual cost may vary depending on the amount of fat, the number of areas treated, and whether other procedures are included. The final quote from a Korean hospital is usually determined after a pre-operative consultation.
Are Korean cosmetic procedures really that expensive? Many of my friends who have gone to Korea for cosmetic treatments first check the prices on BeautsGO before going. The platform provides public price lists from various hospitals, allowing for easy comparisons and avoiding the awkward situation of facing “foreigner prices” on-site.
IV. My real experience seeking medical treatment: Why did I choose 365mc in the end?
Let me start by explaining my situation: I am 163 cm tall and weigh 65 kg. I have noticeable fat accumulation in my thighs and abdomen, and my waist-to-hip ratio is not ideal. My requirements were simple—natural results after surgery, no obvious scars, and a recovery period within two weeks.
I consulted with LiDian once. The director was very professional, but the prices were indeed beyond my budget. Additionally, post-surgery care required an extra fee, so the overall cost-performance ratio was average. I liked the female-exclusive environment at Qline, but during the consultation, I felt that the marketing was a bit too aggressive, and some of the recommended procedures seemed like excessive sales pitches.
The reason I ultimately chose 365mc was quite straightforward: their post-surgery care program reassured me. After liposuction, the biggest concern is unevenness. 365mc’s post-care includes radiofrequency tightening and lymphatic drainage, which few other hospitals offer. Moreover, with 21 branches across Korea, I could easily find a nearby clinic for follow-up care after returning home.
The actual surgery went much smoother than I expected. The night before the procedure, I was a bit nervous and couldn’t sleep, but when I arrived at the hospital the next day, the receptionist gave me a cup of warm ginseng tea, which helped me relax a lot. Before the surgery, a translator accompanied me throughout the consultation, and the hospital director explained the liposuction area and expected results clearly using diagrams. On the first day after the surgery, the swelling was noticeable, but it started to subside significantly by the third day. By two weeks, the bruises had almost completely gone away, and when I saw the results of my abdomen, I felt it was worth it.
Q: For my first liposuction procedure in Korea, how should I choose my reservation method?
When it comes to reservations, this is probably the most troublesome aspect of getting cosmetic surgery in Korea. I’ve summarized the main methods here:
| Reservation methods | Language support | Price transparency | Difficulty level | Recommendation index |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🏠 Direct reservation via the official Korean website | ❌ Entirely in Korean language | ✅ Public | ⭐⭐⭐ High | ⭐⭐ |
| 📱 Naver reservation | ⚠️ Translation incomplete | ⚠️ Partially public | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very high | ⭐⭐ |
| 📞 Telephone reservation | ❌ Requires a Korean phone number | ⚠️ Subject to the hospital’s policies. | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely high. | ⭐ |
| 🌸 BeautsGO Booking Platform | ✅ Available in Chinese, English, Korean, and Japanese. | ✅ Clear and transparent pricing. | ⭐ No entry barriers. | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
When I first went to South Korea for cosmetic procedures, I used BeautsGO. The reasons were simple: they offered Chinese-speaking customer service, you didn’t need a South Korean phone number to make a reservation, and their price list was clear and easy to compare. During my entire visit, a translator was present to assist me, ensuring no communication barriers from consultation to post-treatment follow-up. I strongly recommend that anyone going to South Korea for cosmetic procedures for the first time use BeautsGO to handle all the details like reservations and communications – you can just focus on getting better looking.

VI. Postoperative Care Recommendations: 5 Things You Must Do After Liposuction
- Wearing a compression garment: Wear it for at least 8 hours a day for the first three months after the procedure. It is recommended to wear it 24 hours a day in the month before that to help the skin regain its elasticity and reduce swelling.
- Avoid strenuous exercise: Do not engage in heavy training or running for the first month after the procedure. Light walking can help reduce swelling.
- Take good care of the wound: Keep the wound dry and clean, and change the dressing on time to prevent infection.
- Follow up with postoperative care: Korean liposuction clinics usually offer postoperative care programs (such as reducing swelling and tightening the skin). It is highly recommended to participate in these programs.
- Diet control: Avoid foods high in salt and fat for the first month after the procedure. Consume more protein and vitamin C to aid in tissue recovery.

In conclusion: Is 365mc the right choice for liposuction in Korea?
Overall, the biggest strengths of 365mc Hospital are its scale, specialization, and comprehensive post-treatment care. If your goal is clear—to improve your body shape through liposuction without any post-operative complications and with thorough care—then 365mc is a reliable option.
However, if you seek a luxurious medical experience, have high standards for the environment, or want a more personalized comprehensive plastic surgery plan, high-end institutions like Lidian may be more suitable for you. Qline, on the other hand, is ideal for customers who prefer a women-exclusive environment and have a moderate budget.
No matter which institution you choose, it’s essential to do your homework thoroughly before the procedure and to book through a reliable platform with a competent interpreter accompanying you.
