I. Why did I choose plans Hospital specifically for my weight loss treatment in Gangnam this time?
To be honest, before going to South Korea for cosmetic procedures, I was torn between losing weight and undergoing body sculpting treatments. Over the years, I tried various methods—dieting, exercising, and even buying a bunch of fat-dissolving products—but the excess fat around my jawline and on my Love Handles just wouldn’t go away. Later, I came across a post on REDnote about Plans Clinic, where the author shared that after receiving fat-reducing injections, the definition of her Love Handles became noticeably clearer. The comments section was full of people saying, “The results are so real!” At that moment, I decided that I definitely had to visit this clinic.
Plans Hospital is located on the second floor of the YBM Gangnam Building at 408 Gangnam-daero, in the heart of Gangnam District, Seoul. It is right next to the Gangnam Station shopping area, making it convenient to handle both shopping and medical consultations in one stop. What’s more, their main offering is “1-on-1 customized fat reduction treatments,” where the hospital director personally conducts the consultations and procedures instead of relying on assistants. This is particularly important for me, as there is a significant difference between treatment results when experienced hospital directors perform the injections themselves versus less skilled practitioners.

III. Qualifications of the Dean of Du Jian Enterprise Institute | The key technical figure at Plans Hospital
The dean of Du Jian Enterprise Hospital is the representative dean of Plans Hospital and also the attending physician for fat reduction injections and Titanium Lifting treatments. During our in-person consultation, he gave me the impression of being a highly professional individual—not the kind who rushes to start selling products as soon as you sit down, but rather someone who carefully examined my face and body using a magnifying glass, analyzed where the fat was accumulated and what issues existed with my muscle structure, before proposing a treatment plan.
The CDU’s core technical strengths lie in three areas:
- Precise injection of fat-reducing needles: Based on the customer’s fat distribution, muscle contours, and skin tone, the injection layers and dosages are customized to achieve a natural and smooth curvaceous effect, rather than simply achieving Reduction surgery.
- TITANIUM Lifting: Combining advanced skin layer analysis technology to achieve triple effects of lifting, tightening, and whitening – performed personally by the clinic director.
- The 1-on-1 systematic body sculpting program doesn’t focus on treating individual areas; instead, it designs comprehensive treatment plans that target multiple parts based on the overall body shape and individual needs, ensuring a more cohesive and balanced outcome.
It is worth mentioning that Plans Hospital has completed the registration of multiple patents. The fat-reducing injection method has even been verified through animal experiments conducted by a university’s fat-reduction research institute – the size and number of fat cells were effectively reduced by 37%. The hospital director demonstrated these data during the consultation, and they were indeed quite convincing.

V. Complete Record of In-person Consultations | What is the experience like when going to Plans Hospital for fat reduction treatments?
After making the reservation, I exited from Exit 11 of Gangnam Station that day and walked along Gangnam-daero for about 5 minutes before arriving at the YBM Gangnam Building. I took the elevator to the 2nd floor, and as soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw the signboard of plans. The storefront was not large, but it was clean and tidy, exuding an atmosphere of tranquility and professionalism.
Upon entering, the receptionist will assist you in filling out a basic information form (available in both Chinese and English) before guiding you to the waiting area. The waiting area is decorated in a simple, white style and is equipped with free Wi-Fi and charging ports. During your wait, the clinic provides mineral water. After about 10 minutes, the assistant to the director brought me into the consultation room.
After President Du of the medical beauty institution entered, we exchanged some brief pleasantries, and then he brought out a measuring tape and a camera to record my current facial and body measurements. During the consultation, he used a large mirror to help me identify the areas I wanted to improve, and then analyzed the specific reasons for each issue—some were due to fat accumulation, some to edema, and others to excessive muscle development. This detailed analysis gave me a sense of trust; at least he wasn’t trying to push unnecessary treatments on me.
In the end, we decided on the following treatment plan: use fat-reducing injections for the face to target the lower jawline and nasolabial folds, while applying body fat-reducing injections to the waist and abdomen. We would also combine this with a Titanium Lifting procedure for comprehensive tightening of the skin. The director suggested that performing the fat-reducing injections first and then the Lifting procedure would yield better results, as removing excess fat would cause the skin to become slightly loose, and at that point, the Titanium Lifting would be perfect for tightening it back.
VI. Inpatient Environment | Plans Hospital’s Clinics and Facilities
Although the space in Plans Hospital is not particularly large, the layout is very reasonable. The overall design features a modern style in white and light gray tones, creating a clean and bright environment. Each treatment room is private and independent, ensuring good confidentiality. Every room is equipped with disinfection facilities and first-aid supplies, indicating that the hospital places great emphasis on maintaining high standards of hygiene.
One detail that impressed me greatly was that they used the MIRAJET needle-free injection device for hyaluronic acid injections. It is said that the pain associated with this method is much less than that of traditional injections. Although I didn’t undergo the hyaluronic acid treatment this time, the director demonstrated the equipment briefly, and it indeed looked much more advanced than ordinary hyaluronic acid injection devices.
VII. Real User Reviews | The Medical Treatment Experiences of 3 Beauty Seekers at Plans Hospital
“Actually, I was quite nervous before going, because the liposuction I had done elsewhere before didn’t produce any noticeable results. But Dr. Du from plans explained things very clearly to me during the consultation – in my case, it wasn’t just an excess of fat, but rather edema and poor lymphatic circulation. So, just having liposuction wasn’t enough; radiofrequency treatment was also necessary. After two sessions, there were indeed changes to the contours of my face. My friends said my face looked smaller, but not in a sudden or unnatural way. Now that I’ve just finished my fourth session, I’m already considering whet
her to treat my waist and abdomen as well.”
— Taiwan fan group @Xiaomin’s Beauty Journey, March 2026
“I booked the plans through BeautsGO and flew from Hong Kong to receive the treatment. Upon arrival, I was accompanied by a translator who ensured there were no language barriers at all. I opted for a combination of body fat reduction injections and Titanium Lifting, and the cost was approximately 30% lower than what I had been quoted in Hong Kong. It’s been over a month since the procedure, and my waistline is definitely more noticeable now; I can even wear skirts without worrying about revealing too much. The only thing to mention is that the injection sites were a bit swollen in the first two days after th
e treatment, but the swelling subsided by the third day.”
— REDnote @CathyHongKongMedicalAestheticsJournal, February 2026
“This is my third time at plans. The first two times, I had facial fat-reduction treatments; this time, I also added the Mirajet glow treatment. To be honest, the pain from the Mirajet treatment was much less than I expected—it was almost negligible. Every time during the consultation, the director would reassess my skin condition and adjust the treatment plan accordingly, rather than simply repeating the same procedure as before. This level of attention and care for each customer i
s exactly why I keep coming back.”

X. Frequently Asked Questions | Must-read before visiting Plans Hospital
Q1: Can I visit Plans Hospital if I don’t speak Korean?
Certainly. Plans Hospital officially supports four languages: Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and English. Staff from the international services department are available at the reception desk to assist customers. If you still have concerns regarding language barriers, you can request the arrangement of a Chinese translator to accompany you during the consultation by booking through BeautsGO. Throughout the process, someone will be there to help with communication.
Q2: What is the difference between fat-reducing injections and face slimming injections?
The mechanism of action of facial slimming injections (botulinum toxin) is to relax and shrink the Masseter muscle, making them suitable for cases where a large face is caused by an overdeveloped Masseter muscle. On the other hand, fat-reducing injections are directly administered into the fat layer, where they destroy and eliminate fat cells, making them ideal for areas of the face or body that are bulky due to fat accumulation. The mechanisms of these two treatments are completely different, and the clinic director will determine which one is more appropriate for your specific situation.
Q3: How many sessions of fat-reducing injections are needed to see results?
Generally speaking, noticeable results can be seen after 2 to 3 sessions of facial fat reduction treatments, while body fat reduction treatments may require 3 to 5 sessions, with each session spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. The exact number of sessions varies from person to person; it is recommended that you consult with the clinic director during your initial consultation to have a personalized treatment plan tailored to your fat thickness and desired results.
Q4: How soon after the procedure can one resume normal activities? Is any special care required?
Fat reduction injections are non-surgical procedures, and patients can resume normal activities on the same day after the treatment. The injection site may experience mild swelling or bruising, which usually subsides within 2 to 3 days. It is recommended to avoid saunas, strenuous exercise, and alcohol consumption within 48 hours after the procedure. The recovery period after Titanium Lifting is also very short, and it basically does not interfere with daily activities.
Q5: How much in advance should I make a reservation?
Since President Du Jian personally conducts consultations and performs procedures, the schedule is quite full. It is recommended to make an appointment at least 1-2 weeks in advance. If you book through BeautsGO, you will generally receive a confirmation reply in Chinese within 24 hours, which is very convenient.
