Leading treatments
Liposuction
Liposuction removes fat from a chosen area through thin tubes (cannulas). BBAE Clinic treats the abdomen, arms, thighs and back. The clinic says it uses micro-cannulas, power-assisted (PAL) and water-assisted (WAL) liposuction and a hand-finished final pass. Its fee notice, the list of non-insured prices that Korean clinics must publish (updated 1 April 2026), gives per-area ranges: arms, including accessory breast and underarm, ₩2,500,000–₩4,700,000; abdomen 360 with the pubic area ₩3,500,000–₩8,200,000; back (shoulder blade, bra line) ₩2,000,000–₩3,800,000; thighs, including the "Chanel line", ₩3,500,000–₩7,500,000. These are standard prices for a BMI of 23, VAT excluded. The price changes with BMI and for revision cases, and the exact price is set after consultation. The clinic's English website shows lower "typical Gangnam market ranges" that it says are not a quote; this listing uses the fee notice.
Face and double chin liposuction
BBAE Clinic also offers face and double-chin liposuction. It is not on the fee notice, so the clinic has no published price of its own. The clinic's English website gives a non-binding estimate of ₩1,500,000–₩3,000,000 for double-chin liposuction, and ₩1,500,000–₩3,500,000 for face and double chin on another page.
Fat transfer
Fat transfer (fat grafting) moves the patient's own fat, taken by liposuction, to another area. BBAE Clinic grafts fat to the temples, forehead, under-eye area and cheeks, and to body areas. No fee-notice price is published. The clinic's English website gives a non-binding estimate of ₩2,500,000–₩5,000,000 for the face and from ₩5,000,000 for the body, including liposuction of the donor area.
Fat transfer breast augmentation
BBAE Clinic offers breast augmentation with the patient's own fat only, without implants. No fee-notice price is published. The clinic's English website gives a non-binding estimate of ₩5,000,000–₩9,000,000, including liposuction of the donor area.
BBL and hip fat grafting
BBAE Clinic offers fat transfer to the buttocks and hips (BBL). The clinic says it grafts fat only into the fat layer under the skin, above the muscle. No fee-notice price is published. The clinic's English website gives a non-binding estimate of ₩5,000,000–₩10,000,000, including liposuction of the donor area.
Gynecomastia surgery
For male chest reduction, the clinic says it uses liposuction and, when needed, removes glandular tissue through an incision at the areola. No fee-notice price is published. The clinic's English website gives a non-binding estimate of ₩3,000,000–₩6,000,000.
Prices
Only the clinic's fee notice, updated 1 April 2026, gives BBAE Clinic's own prices. They are per-area ranges for a BMI of 23, in Korean won, VAT excluded; the exact price is set after consultation. Face and double-chin liposuction, fat transfer, breast augmentation, BBL and gynecomastia surgery have no published clinic price. Approximate US dollar amounts use the exchange rate of 23 October 2026.
