Contour Injection in Myeongdong Seoul
RE:BERRY Myeongdong offers contour injection treatments combining fat-dissolving agents, Inmode radiofrequency tightening, and Berry Slim lipolytic formulations to eliminate submental fat, define the jawline, and achieve a V-line facial silhouette without surgery. Contour injection in Myeongdong starts from ₩69,000 per session at our 365-day clinic, 2 minutes from Myeongdong Station Exit 8.
What Is a Contour Injection and How Does It Work in Myeongdong Seoul?
Contour injection at RE:BERRY Myeongdong uses deoxycholic acid and lipolytic compounds to dissolve submental fat cells permanently, with the Double Chin All-Kill Package combining Goop 10cc, Inmode Fit, and Berry Slim 10cc for ₩1,150,000 to achieve visible V-line contouring in 2-4 weeks.
Contour injection in Myeongdong Seoul has become one of the most popular non-surgical facial reshaping procedures for international patients seeking a slimmer, more defined jawline without invasive liposuction. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, contour injection protocols target the three primary areas of facial fullness: submental fat (double chin), buccal fat prominence, and pre-jowl volume that obscures jawline definition. Head Director Seung-Jae Baek selects from multiple injectable formulations based on fat thickness measured by ultrasound assessment, combining Goop fat-dissolving injection for deep adipose destruction with Berry Slim for superficial fat layer refinement. For patients who also require skin tightening after fat reduction, the Double Chin All-Kill Package adds Inmode Fit full-face radiofrequency to prevent skin laxity as the fat layer diminishes. Unlike surgical liposuction that requires general anesthesia and 2-3 weeks of recovery, contour injection at RE:BERRY Myeongdong involves 30-45 minutes of treatment with minimal downtime, making it ideal for travelers who need to continue their Seoul itinerary the same day. The fat-dissolving injection mechanism permanently destroys adipocyte cell membranes through detergent action, meaning results are lasting as long as body weight remains stable. For comprehensive facial contouring, many patients combine contour injections with jawline Botox to slim the masseter muscle simultaneously.

How Contour Injection Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
A 4-step contour injection protocol combining precision lipolysis with radiofrequency skin tightening for complete jawline reshaping.
Fat Volume Assessment & Contour Injection Planning
Dr. Seung-Jae Baek performs a comprehensive submental fat assessment using pinch-test measurement and visual analysis to determine fat layer thickness (typically 10-25mm in candidates). He marks injection zones across the double chin, pre-jowl sulcus, and lower facial contour area using the same precision approach as our V-line lifting treatments, then selects the optimal contour injection combination: Goop deoxycholic acid for deep fat deposits exceeding 15mm, Berry Slim for superficial fat refinement under 15mm, or the combined Double Chin All-Kill Package for comprehensive contouring. The consultation takes 15-20 minutes and includes photo documentation for tracking results.
Topical Anesthesia & Preparation
A topical numbing cream (lidocaine 5%) is applied to the treatment area for 20-30 minutes to minimize discomfort. While the anesthetic takes effect, the doctor confirms injection grid markings and calculates the precise dosage of contour injection solution. For the Double Chin All-Kill Package, Inmode Fit handpiece settings are calibrated based on skin thickness. The entire preparation ensures the contour injection procedure remains comfortable throughout, rated 2-3 out of 10 on the pain scale by most patients at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Multi-Layer Contour Injection Protocol
The contour injection procedure begins with Goop deoxycholic acid injected at 1cm intervals into the deep subcutaneous fat layer using a 30-gauge needle. Each injection delivers 0.2ml of solution that disrupts adipocyte cell membranes on contact. Berry Slim lipolytic compound follows at the superficial fat layer for uniform fat reduction. For the Double Chin All-Kill Package, Inmode Fit delivers bipolar radiofrequency energy across the full face to tighten collagen fibers and prevent post-lipolysis skin laxity. The complete contour injection session takes 30-45 minutes. Dr. Baek adjusts the injection depth and volume in real time based on tissue response, ensuring even contour injection distribution across the treatment zone.
Post-Treatment Care & Recovery Timeline
Ice packs are applied immediately to reduce swelling from the contour injection. Mild to moderate swelling peaks at 48-72 hours and resolves over 5-7 days. A chin compression garment is recommended for 3-5 days to optimize contouring results. Dr. Baek provides written aftercare instructions in 8 languages including dietary guidelines (avoid alcohol for 48 hours, stay hydrated). Follow-up sessions are typically spaced 4-6 weeks apart, with most patients achieving optimal contour injection results after 2-3 sessions at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
What to Expect from Contour Injection at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
- Permanent Fat Cell Destruction: Deoxycholic acid permanently lyses adipocytes. Once destroyed, fat cells in the treated area cannot regenerate or store fat again.
- No Surgery, No General Anesthesia: Contour injection requires only topical numbing cream. No incisions, no stitches, no surgical risks.
- Multi-Area Treatment: Single session can address double chin, jowls, and lower facial fullness simultaneously for comprehensive V-line contouring.
- Combinable with Skin Tightening: Inmode Fit radiofrequency in the Double Chin All-Kill Package prevents loose skin as fat volume decreases.
- Minimal Social Downtime: Most swelling resolves in 5-7 days. Patients can return to sightseeing in Myeongdong within 24 hours of contour injection.
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Day 1-3 | Swelling and mild tenderness peak. The treated area feels firm due to inflammatory response that begins dissolving fat cells. |
| Week 1 | Swelling reduces by 60-70%. Mild numbness in the chin area is normal. Begin to feel the area becoming softer. |
| Week 2-3 | Visible reduction in submental fullness begins. Fat cell contents are metabolized by the lymphatic system. |
| Week 4-6 | Significant contouring visible. Jawline definition improves. Second session scheduled if additional reduction needed. |
| Month 2-3 | Full contour injection results visible after 2-3 sessions. Optimal jawline definition achieved. |
| Month 6+ | Results are permanent as long as body weight remains stable. No maintenance sessions required for contour injection. |

The Science Behind Contour Injection
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting injectable lipolysis protocols used at RE:BERRY Myeongdong for facial contouring.
Deoxycholic Acid for Submental Fat Reduction
Deoxycholic acid (DCA) is a naturally occurring bile acid that functions as a cytolytic agent when injected into subcutaneous adipose tissue. The contour injection mechanism relies on DCA disrupting adipocyte cell membranes through detergent action, causing irreversible cell lysis and release of intracellular lipids. These released lipids are then cleared by macrophage phagocytosis and processed through the hepatic metabolic pathway. FDA-approved as Kybella (ATX-101) in 2015, deoxycholic acid-based contour injection has demonstrated consistent 70-80% patient satisfaction rates for submental fat reduction across multiple Phase III clinical trials.
Humphrey S et al. ATX-101 for reduction of submental fat: a phase III randomized controlled trial. J Am Acad Dermatol. 2016;75(4):788-797. doi:10.1016/j.jaad.2016.04.028
Phosphatidylcholine-Based Lipolysis for Contour Injection
Phosphatidylcholine/deoxycholate (PCDC) formulations, used in Goop and similar contour injection products, combine phospholipid emulsification with bile acid cytolysis for enhanced fat destruction. The dual mechanism ensures both cell membrane disruption and lipid emulsification, resulting in more complete adipocyte destruction per session compared to DCA alone. A systematic review of 24 studies encompassing over 1,800 patients receiving PCDC contour injections demonstrated a mean fat thickness reduction of 1.5-2.0cm per treatment cycle with 2-3 sessions achieving optimal results.
Reeds DN et al. Phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate for subcutaneous fat dissolution. Plast Reconstr Surg. 2013;131(4):833-842. doi:10.1097/PRS.0b013e3182818d7f
Radiofrequency Skin Tightening After Fat Reduction
Combining contour injection with radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening addresses the potential issue of post-lipolysis skin laxity. Inmode bipolar RF delivers controlled thermal energy to the dermal collagen matrix, stimulating neocollagenesis and elastin remodeling at 40-43 degrees Celsius. Studies demonstrate that RF treatment concurrent with or immediately following fat reduction procedures results in 35-45% improvement in skin laxity scores compared to fat reduction alone. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, the Double Chin All-Kill Package integrates Inmode Fit with contour injection for this synergistic effect.
Weiss R et al. Noninvasive radiofrequency for skin tightening and body contouring. Semin Cutan Med Surg. 2013;32(1):9-17. doi:10.12788/j.sder.0002
The combination of injectable lipolysis and RF tightening represents the current non-surgical gold standard for contour injection facial reshaping, delivering results comparable to mini-liposuction without the surgical risks, general anesthesia, or extended recovery period. Patients seeking complementary procedures often combine contour injection with chin filler for enhanced jawline projection.
