Stomach Fat Dissolving Injections in Korea: What the Injections Added to Priscilla's ONDA Plan, Two Months On
Priscilla (@priscillathachh) combined ONDA 40kJ with fat dissolving injections and posted at two months. This time I focus on the injections: which belly fat they suit, how I choose between our two body options, and what the first weeks feel like.

“Can injections alone get rid of my lower belly?” comes up in almost every body consultation I do with visitors, often from someone who has already read about ONDA and wonders whether the needle part is necessary. I'm Dr. Hyunji Kim, director of Delphic Clinic in Sinnonhyeon, Gangnam. I trained at Korea University Medical Center, and I consult and treat our international patients myself. Priscilla's caption lists ONDA 40kJ plus fat dissolving injections with results at two months. I've already answered her tummy-tuck question elsewhere, so this page is about stomach fat dissolving injections in Korea specifically: who they suit, how I choose the product and amount, what they add to ONDA, what they cost, and who should skip them.

In her own words
Can this replace a tummy tuck? Here's what I tried. ONDA 40kJ + Fat Dissolving Injections. Results after 2 months
What stomach fat dissolving injections actually do
Stomach fat dissolving injections in Korea are usually a blend of medicines placed directly into the fat layer. At our clinic, the body injection combines ingredients with fat-dissolving and lymphatic-circulation effects, and each session takes about 10 minutes.
The key word is local. Injections work where the needle goes, which makes them useful for a defined pocket of belly fat and much less useful for overall weight.
The pinch test I do before choosing injections
- Soft fat you can pinch between your fingers: the type injections can reach.
- A firm, rounded belly that's hard to pinch: usually fat deeper inside the abdomen, which injections can't reach.
- Loose, crepey skin with little fat underneath: a skin problem rather than a fat problem.
- A mix of soft fat and slight looseness: where combining injections with ONDA makes most sense.
When both are present, a combined plan like the one in Priscilla's caption makes sense. I described her first ONDA 40kJ session and what the energy number means separately.
Steroid-free or premium: how I choose between our two body injections
- 1
Steroid-free body injection (10cc)
A localized fat dissolving injection without steroids. A sensible start for smaller pockets or for people who want the gentler formulation.
- 2
Premium body sculpting injection (10cc)
Our premium fat dissolving formulation, which I consider for larger or more stubborn areas.
- 3
How much
Both are priced per 10cc. The amount depends on the size of the area, and I mark it with you before injecting.
Do you need ONDA too, or are injections enough?
Injections target the fat you can pinch. ONDA uses microwave energy to heat a broader layer of fat while keeping the surface cool, and it also supports skin firmness. When the belly is soft and slightly loose, the two do different jobs.
For a small, defined pocket, injections alone can be enough. I explain the bigger question — whether any of this replaces surgery — in my straight answer to Priscilla's tummy-tuck question.
What two months can show, and what it can't
Priscilla waited two months to post, and I think that's a fair point to look. Treated fat is cleared gradually, so the first weeks are mostly about swelling settling rather than visible slimming.
Two months won't erase a belly that is mainly deep abdominal fat or loose skin. Keeping your weight stable matters too: injections reduce fat in one area; they don't stop new fat forming.
Bruising, swelling and the first week
Most people return to normal life the same day. The area can feel tender, swollen or bruised for some days, which is worth knowing if you're planning beach days. I've written about the side effects that reviews tend to understate.
Stomach fat dissolving injection prices in Seoul
Priscilla's caption doesn't give prices, so these are example menu prices for this kind of plan. Korean and international patients pay the same.
- Body Girl Group Injection 10cc (Steroid-Free Localized Fat Dissolving)₩99,000≈ $70
- Body Sculpting Injection 10cc (Premium Fat Dissolving)₩129,000≈ $90
- Onda Lifting (Body 1 Area) 40kj (First-visit trial)₩270,000≈ $200
VAT excluded · the same price for Korean and international patients · example menu prices, not what Priscilla paid · regular ONDA body, one area 40kJ ₩400,000 · injection amount and number of sessions are set at the free consultation.
Who should skip stomach injections, at least for now
- You're still losing weight quickly — wait until it stabilizes.
- Your belly is mostly firm, deep fat or mainly loose skin after pregnancy.
- You're pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a skin infection in the area.
- You need the area bruise-free within the next few days.

Is this for you?
Who this combination genuinely suits
Signs it may be time
- Your lower belly stays soft despite exercise
- Clothes fit well everywhere except the stomach
- You're weighing injections against ONDA
- You'd like to see change before considering anything surgical
A good fit if
- You have a soft, pinchable pocket of stomach fat
- Your weight has been fairly stable
- You want a non-surgical option with a short treatment time
- You can accept some tenderness or bruising for a few days
Not the right first step if: you're still losing weight quickly, your belly is mainly firm deep fat or loose skin, you're pregnant or breastfeeding, have a skin infection in the area, or need the stomach bruise-free within days.

“Before you book, try the pinch test on yourself and send me a side photo. If injections won't reach the kind of fat you have, I'll tell you before you spend anything.”
Questions patients ask me about this
Do stomach fat dissolving injections work?
They can reduce soft, pinchable fat in a defined area of the stomach. They don't reach deep abdominal fat and don't replace weight loss or surgery for loose skin.
How much are stomach fat dissolving injections in Korea?
At Delphic Clinic, the steroid-free body injection is ₩99,000 and the premium body sculpting injection is ₩129,000 per 10cc, VAT excluded. The amount depends on the size of the area, and international patients pay the same.
How many fat dissolving sessions does the stomach need?
It depends on how much fat there is and how your body responds. I review the area after the first session before suggesting another.
What are the side effects of stomach fat dissolving injections?
Tenderness, swelling and bruising in the area are common for some days. Most people return to normal activities the same day.
Should I combine fat dissolving injections with ONDA?
If your belly has both soft fat and slight looseness, combining them can make sense because ONDA also supports skin firmness. For a small, defined pocket, injections alone may be enough.
