Frequently asked questions
How far is BBAE Clinic from COEX & Samseong?
About 3.4 km in a straight line. By subway it takes ≈ 6–8 min (Line 9 express from Bongeunsa); by taxi ≈ 10–15 min outside rush hour.
I'm in Seoul for a conference at COEX. Can I fit in liposuction?
Possibly — single-area liposuction takes about 1–2 hours and most people return to light activity the next day. Plan 5–7 nights in total and send photos first so a surgeon can confirm your plan.
Do I need to come back to the clinic after surgery?
Yes. Plan a check-up within the first few days and aftercare sessions before you fly. Most single-area patients stay 5–7 nights in Seoul.
Can I get a quote before I travel?
Yes. Send 2–3 photos on WhatsApp (+82-10-6253-2111). A surgeon reviews them and replies in English with a plan and a written estimate — free.
