Fat extraction injections
A localised fat-removal approach listed by Clair. Despite the word “injection” in the menu name, the official description includes a small access opening and cannula-based extraction of fat.

How the approach works.
The source describes introducing a solution and removing fat with a fine cannula. It should not be confused with an injection that only aims to dissolve fat. The amount and area depend on assessment.
Locate the tissue in the discussion
Localised fat removal concerns fatty tissue beneath the skin. A simplified layered view helps distinguish it from the skin surface and deeper muscle.
The model shows skin, fatty tissue and muscle as separate layers. It has no cannula or patient measurements; the access route and treatment area are planned from examination.

Area planning, access and aftercare
Clair describes localised fat removal using a solution and a fine cannula. These selected images explain the area, access and aftercare; they are not a complete surgical sequence.
Define the area
The source marks the underarm, upper arm, waist and back, abdomen, thigh, the area under the buttocks, knee and calf. The marked overview helps name a concern; examination determines which area, if any, to treat.

A small opening for the cannula
A fine cannula still needs a small skin opening. Clair uses this photograph to illustrate an access site. Incision care, bruising and scarring should be discussed for the individual plan.
Extracted material, not a target amount
The source shows collected material in two syringes. The photograph cannot establish a recommended amount or fat purity. Clair’s FAQ states that excessive removal can cause unevenness, adherence and sagging.
Confirm the aftercare plan
Clair places this image beside its radiofrequency aftercare description. The pictured device is an aftercare example, not the cannula used to remove fat. Confirm which care is appropriate and when it would be offered.

What the consultation considers.
Localised fat
Skin elasticity
Cannula access and recovery
This is a starting point for a consultation, not an individual treatment recommendation.
Assess the fatty tissue and skin together
The highlighted layer identifies the tissue being discussed. Its appearance is simplified and cannot determine how much should be removed.
Yellow lobules highlight fat below the skin. Clair’s warning about excessive removal makes the amount, skin elasticity and contour a combined planning discussion.

Recovery, risks & limits.
Some reactions can be temporary; complications can also require treatment. This is not an exhaustive list.
Bruising, swelling, pain and visible scars may occur after an operation.
Bleeding, infection, altered sensation and anaesthesia-related complications must be discussed.
Contour irregularity, skin laxity and further treatment are possible after fat removal.
Your timeline is individual.
Procedure time, anaesthesia, follow-up and return travel depend on your examination and the final plan. Confirm them before paying for flights or accommodation.
Recovery and results vary. Your clinician should explain the procedure-specific risks and aftercare before you decide.
If you develop severe or worsening symptoms after treatment, seek medical attention rather than waiting for an online reply.

Your questions, answered.
Does removing more fat always help?
No. Clair’s source warns that excessive removal can lead to unevenness, adherence and skin sagging. The amount should be based on individual anatomy.
How long should I stay in Korea?
Procedure time, anaesthesia, follow-up and return travel depend on your examination and the final plan. Confirm them before paying for flights or accommodation.
Can I choose the procedure before an examination?
You can explore your options first. The final plan requires an examination, a discussion of alternatives and informed consent. Choosing no treatment is also an option.
How is the cost decided?
The clinic confirms the proposed method, treatment area and product or equipment before giving an individual quote. Ask what is included in follow-up care.
What should I disclose before treatment?
Tell the clinician about previous procedures, implants, medication, allergies and health conditions. Bring available details of earlier injections or surgery.
