At first, I was just stressed out about my belly fat, but then a friend who works in aesthetics told me about Dr. Han Dong-yeop at Jiwon Clinic, so I looked it up. I was a bit hesitant since I hadn’t tried such injections before, but one day I suddenly realized my belly and sides had expanded so much that I decided to just go for it and made an appointment.
During my first visit, I had a consultation with the manager, and since my biggest concern was the ingredients, I asked about that first. They explained that the fat-dissolving injections they use don’t contain steroids, PPC, or hyaluronidase at all. Instead, they use a method developed through their accumulated know-how that involves creating tiny holes in fat cells with waves to dissolve and expel them. The description was a bit fascinating, but I understood it as a physical way of breaking down fat.
When they asked me where I was most concerned, I immediately said, “My belly and sides…” and they showed me a package for the upper body that included the front abdomen, sides (love handles), and lower back, suggesting I go for six sessions. As soon as I heard that, I thought, "This is exactly what I want," and proceeded with it.
After the consultation with the manager, the doctor came in for another detailed look. They also mentioned the SOS diet and stressed that I needed to drink a lot of water starting from the day I got the injection. I thought to myself, "Drinking some water shouldn’t be too hard," but drinking 3 to 4 liters a day was much more challenging than it sounded. I felt like a human water dispenser carrying around a bottle…
Still, whenever I came in after diligently drinking water, the doctor would ask if I had been hydrating well, tell me I had done a great job, and that kind of encouragement really motivated me. Interestingly, I usually tend to swell a lot, but drinking so much water actually reduced my swelling, and it went down quickly, which suited my body really well.
The procedure took place in a private room, and since I was getting injections in the front, sides, and back, I lay down and started from the back, moving to the sides and then the front. I had never experienced a fat-dissolving injection before, so I had no idea how much it would hurt, but when it came time for the injection, I felt a slight sting when the needle went in, followed by a sharp sensation for just a moment. But once that passed, it was fine. The doctor kept chatting with me, saying, "You're doing great, it's okay," which helped me relax, and it ended up being easier than I expected.
The manager had said at the start that "who administers the fat-dissolving injections really matters," and the doctor’s extensive experience showed. As I continued with the injections, I could really see the changes, especially in my sides and back line, and I found myself checking in the mirror multiple times, thinking, "Wait... what’s going on?"
Surprisingly, I didn’t have any bruising at all, and while there was a bit of pain during the injection, I didn’t experience any discomfort in my daily life afterward. The day I received the injection, my belly felt a bit swollen, but other than that, I had no significant issues. Now, with one session left out of six, I am nearing my initial goal of losing around 5 to 6 kg, and my belly has shrunk a lot, making sitting and getting dressed much more comfortable.
These days, after seeing results in my belly and sides, I’m starting to feel tempted about getting injections in my inner thighs or arms as well. It’s like I’ve only just realized that fat-dissolving injections are an option for dieting, and I wanted to share this method with others who might be considering it.
