Suitability guide
Am I a candidate for liposuction or LAMS in Gangnam, Seoul?
Liposuction works best for localized fat that diet and exercise do not change, in people with stable weight and good general health. Use this checklist to see where you stand, then send photos for a personal assessment.
Checklist
You may be a good candidate if…
These are general guidelines. Your doctor makes the final call after examination.
- Fat sits in specific areas and you can pinch it
- Your weight has been stable for several months
- Your skin has reasonable elasticity
- You are in good general health and not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You want a change in shape rather than on the scale
- You can stay in Seoul long enough for the recommended aftercare
Not sure where your fat sits? Compare the body-area guides.

When to wait
Situations where treatment may be postponed
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
365mc does not recommend treatment during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and advises not planning pregnancy for two months after treatment or medication.
Under 19
Under Korean law, adults are 19 or older. Minors need a signed parental consent form provided by the clinic.
Fat mostly inside the abdomen
A firm belly that does not pinch is often visceral fat, which liposuction does not remove. Medical weight management may help first.
Very loose skin
Removing fat will not remove hanging skin. See liposuction vs tummy tuck.
Medical conditions
Tell the team about heart, blood, metabolic or other conditions, medicines and allergies before any plan is made.
Unstable weight
Large weight swings before or after treatment can affect results.

365mc original · LAMS
See the fat come out, while you are awake
LAMS (Local Anesthetic Minimal-invasive Liposuction) was developed by 365mc for people who want liposuction’s direct removal of fat cells without an incision or sleep anesthesia.
Fat is drawn directly into a syringe. According to 365mc, extracting one bottle takes about ten minutes, and because you are awake you can see the fat that was removed and talk with your doctor during the procedure.
- No incision, so no stitches to remove
- No sleep anesthesia — local anesthesia only
- No compression garment
- Customised Orange Care after LAMS

Consults while operating
Surgical operations team
A dedicated team runs the operating schedule and supports area-specialized surgeons, who focus on specific body zones.
Anesthesia team
Staff experienced in liposuction anesthesia are on site. For high-risk patients, or when the medical team judges it necessary, an anesthesiologist administers anesthesia directly and monitors you throughout.
Safety management team
Before surgery a safety officer checks the surgeon’s blood pressure, pulse, temperature and overall condition.
Infection control team
Sterile operating-room protocols with a dedicated team for infection prevention.
Clinical pathology lab
Pre-operative tests are analysed in-house so results feed straight into your plan.
Recovery support team
Monitors you after surgery and runs the Orange Care program that follows.
Triple Patient Assurance
Three things you can verify yourself
365mc runs three “patient confirmation” systems so that what happens during surgery is transparent, not just promised.
Operating-room CCTV
CCTV runs in liposuction operating rooms so you can confirm your surgery was carried out safely and as planned.
Surgeon condition check
A safety officer checks your surgeon’s vital signs and condition before the operation; only a surgeon cleared as fit performs it, from start to finish.
Schedule disclosure
Surgeons hold no consultations while operating. Each surgeon has fixed outpatient hours, published in advance.

FAQ
Common questions
Still unsure? Our English-speaking coordinators reply on WhatsApp, usually within 24 hours (excluding weekends and Korean holidays).
Is there a BMI limit for liposuction? +
Suitability is assessed individually, considering fat distribution, health and safety rather than one number. Ask the team about your situation.
Can men have liposuction or LAMS? +
Yes. 365mc notes that many male patients achieve good results. Common areas include the abdomen, flanks, chest and chin; see gynecomastia.
What if only one area bothers me? +
That is a common reason for body contouring. 365mc’s FAQ says single-area concerns are treated with body contouring rather than general weight loss.
How do I start? +
Send photos of the area, your goals and possible travel dates on WhatsApp. A coordinator replies in English, usually within 24 hours.
