365mc LAMS Dictionary | Complete Guide to LAMS Fat Extraction

Question 1

If lumps or swelling continue after LAMS, will they turn into fat?

Dr. Kwon Min‑sung · Accepted Answer

No, lumps or swelling don't turn into fat. Over time, most lumps and swelling improve.

Question 2

Do people with low muscle and high fat see more results?

Dr. Chae Gyu‑hee · Accepted Answer

Clients with same size but more fat and less muscle may have more fat extracted and thus better results. But extraction can vary depending on fat quality, so results may differ.

Question 3

Can I expect the same effect from LAMS as liposuction?

Dr. Jo Min‑young · Accepted Answer

Using ultra-fine needles, LAMS removes available fat. With combined diet improvements, it can equal or exceed liposuction results.

Question 4

After LAMS, does fat increase in untreated areas?

Dr. Kim Chae‑won · Accepted Answer

As long as weight is maintained, untreated areas don't gain fat. If weight increases, untreated areas' fat cells enlarge; treated areas have fewer fat cells, so untreated areas may appear relatively larger.

Question 5

LAMS vs fat-dissolving injection—what should I choose?

Dr. Kwon Min‑sung · Accepted Answer

LAMS physically removes fat and is more effective. Fat-dissolving injections are used when time or situation doesn't allow LAMS.

Question 6

Should I remove hair before LAMS?

Dr. Kim Han · Accepted Answer

No hair removal needed.

Question 7

Since it's local anesthesia, should I remove nail polish?

Dr. Seo Seong‑hoon · Accepted Answer

You won't need to remove nail polish—hands don't touch the treatment area.

Question 8

What should I bring on the day of treatment?

Dr. So Jae‑yong · Accepted Answer

If you're treating your thighs, please bring leggings to help prevent dizziness afterward. Otherwise, just come with determination and resolve to say goodbye to fat.

Question 9

I use my arms a lot for work—can I get arm LAMS?

Dr. So Jae‑yong · Accepted Answer

Yes. LAMS requires no sedation, no incisions, and no compression garments—daily activities can continue right away.

Question 10

I have spotting—should I be concerned?

Dr. Kwon Min‑sung · Accepted Answer

Spotting may occur due to fatigue or medication—it usually resolves on its own. If it continues, we recommend visiting an OB-GYN.

Question 11

Will untreated areas gain fat after LAMS?

Dr. Kim Chae‑won · Accepted Answer

As long as weight is maintained, untreated areas won't gain fat abnormally. However, if weight increases, fat cells in untreated areas may enlarge, making them appear relatively fuller.

Question 12

The treated area is hard and bumpy—is it adhesions?

Dr. Kang Jeong‑min · Accepted Answer

That's normal lumping. It's due to fibroblast activity during healing and typically resolves over months. If it persists beyond a year, consult your treating doctor.

Question 13

Will LAMS leave noticeable scars?

Dr. Seo Jae‑won · Accepted Answer

The procedure uses tiny 2–3 mm punctures, so scars are minimal. The wounds heal within about a week, and pigmentation gradually fades, so it's not a major concern.

Question 14

How can I reduce swelling quickly—walking? drinking water?

Dr. Son Bo‑deuri · Accepted Answer

Swelling is from fluid retention in tissues. To help circulation remove it: walk lightly, drink plenty of water, and elevate the treated area above heart level.

Question 15

What general symptoms may appear after the procedure?

Dr. Lee Chang‑hee · Accepted Answer

You may experience numbness, swelling, mild pain, needle marks, bruising, lumps, etc. These are normal reactions and typically resolve within days to weeks.

Question 16

What's the difference between regular mini-liposuction and LAMS?

Chief Director Seo Jae-won · Accepted Answer

Mini-liposuction removes localized fat through surgical methods involving incisions and sedation. LAMS, on the other hand, is performed without sedation. Since there's no sedation, patients can talk to the doctor during the procedure and see the extracted fat in real-time.

Question 17

Does the LAMS solution contain steroids?

Chief Director Seo Jae-won · Accepted Answer

No, the LAMS solution does not contain any steroid ingredients.

Question 18

Can I visually confirm how much fat was extracted after LAMS?

Chief Director Son Bod-ri · Accepted Answer

Yes, of course. Showing you the extracted fat is part of the procedure.

Question 19

Is LAMS performed by cutting the skin and extracting fat with a syringe?

Chief Director So Jae-yong · Accepted Answer

LAMS uses a needle about 2mm in diameter to create a tiny hole. It is a non-incisional procedure and does not require suturing.

Question 20

Can I get LAMS on multiple areas in one session without overloading my body?

Dr. Kang Jung-min · Accepted Answer

There is a safe daily limit to how much of the fat-dissolving solution can be used. If multiple areas can be treated within that limit, it is possible to do them all in one day. If the amount needed exceeds the safe dose, it's recommended to divide the sessions.

Question 21

Should I get LAMS or fat-dissolving injections?

Chief Director Kwon Min-sung · Accepted Answer

LAMS is more effective since it physically removes fat. However, for those short on time or needing a quicker procedure, fat-dissolving injections can be an alternative.

Question 22

Why is it called "LAMS"?

Chief Director Chae Gyu-hee · Accepted Answer

LAMS stands for "Local Anesthetic Minimal-invasive LipoSuction." Unlike traditional liposuction that requires general or deep sedation, LAMS uses only local anesthesia to extract fat.

Question 23

Can I only get LAMS at 365mc?

Chief Director Kim Han · Accepted Answer

Some clinics offer LAMS-like procedures, but the original LAMS was developed by 365mc, and only 365mc offers the authentic version.

Question 24

Can I get LAMS while taking birth control pills?

Chief Director Kim Han · Accepted Answer

Yes, LAMS is safe even if you are taking birth control pills.

Question 25

I recently had surgery from an accident. When can I get LAMS?

Dr. Kim Hyun-ji · Accepted Answer

It depends on your surgical history and future treatment plan. If LAMS is to be done near the surgical site, approval from your primary physician is required. Even for other areas, certain medications or plans may limit eligibility. Always consult your doctor first and then confirm with your LAMS specialist.

Question 26

Is LAMS possible if I have underlying health conditions?

Chief Director Lee Gil-sang · Accepted Answer

If you have a history of vascular diseases (stroke, angina, myocardial infarction), LAMS is generally not recommended. For other conditions, it's usually possible, but you must inform the doctor in advance.

Question 27

After cosmetic surgery, when can I have LAMS?

Chief Director Chae Gyu-hee · Accepted Answer

It varies depending on the type of surgery. For instance, after breast augmentation, lying face down is difficult for at least 4 weeks, making LAMS on areas like the back or arms difficult. But if you've had eyelid surgery, and you're feeling fine, LAMS on the abdomen may be possible as early as the next day. It ultimately depends on the type of surgery, your condition, and the target area.

Question 28

Will my body weight decrease by the same amount as the LAMS fluid extracted?

Dr. Kim Jeong‑eun · Accepted Answer

Yes, weight decreases by the volume extracted. But fat is lightweight, so large volume removal doesn't translate into equivalent weight loss. For example, removing 10 bottles (500 ml) from the arm noticeably changes shape and size, but weight loss is only about 0.3–0.4 kg. That's why LAMS emphasizes 'contour improvement and size reduction.

Question 29

Why did my weight increase after LAMS?

Jo Min‑young · Accepted Answer

Pre-procedure, LAMS solution is injected for anesthesia and fat breakdown. It's absorbed, then released into surrounding tissue. Until it exits the body, it causes weight gain. To recover faster, reduce carbs and increase pure protein intake.

Question 30

My home is far—can I drive myself on the day of treatment?

Dr. Seo Seong‑hoon · Accepted Answer

You may experience dizziness after the procedure, which could lead to a serious accident if driving. We advise using public transportation or a ride service to return home on the day of treatment.

Question 31

What underwear should I wear on the day of LAMS?

Dr. Jeon Jae‑rang · Accepted Answer

Since fat-dissolving solution is injected into localized areas, reddish fluid may leak after LAMS. We recommend wearing dark-colored underwear.

Question 32

Is it okay to have LAMS during menstruation?

Dr. Son Bo‑deuri · Accepted Answer

Generally, it's fine to have LAMS on a day when you're menstruating. However, if you normally experience anemia or dizziness (e.g., orthostatic hypotension or vasovagal syncope) during your period, it's better to consult with your doctor and schedule the procedure when you're feeling well.

Question 33

Post-LAMS Care

Dr. Son Bo‑deuri · Accepted Answer

LAMS creates small wounds in the fat and skin layers, so avoid alcohol and smoking during recovery. Alcohol hinders clotting and smoking slows healing—please avoid both for at least two weeks.

Question 34

Can I shower after the procedure?

Dr. So Jae‑yong · Accepted Answer

Yes. LAMS requires no sedation, no incisions, and no compression garments—daily activities can continue right away. Showering is allowed starting 24 hours after the procedure. Before then, use waterproof dressings if showering.

Question 35

After LAMS, should I use warm or cold compresses, and until when?

Dr. So Jae‑yong · Accepted Answer

Because sensation in the treated area may be reduced, you may not feel heat or cold properly and could be at risk of low-temperature burns. Avoid both warm and cold compresses.

Question 36

Can I use home high-frequency massage devices at home post-LAMS?

Dr. Son Bo‑deuri · Accepted Answer

Until sensation fully returns in the treated area, using heating devices may risk low-temperature burns—avoid them. After three weeks, if lumps persist, you may consider using a home RF therapy device, but only after consulting your doctor.

Question 37

I'm planning a pregnancy—should I have LAMS before or after?

Dr. Chae Gyu‑hee · Accepted Answer

If you plan to become pregnant in about 5–6 months, you can have LAMS beforehand. Pregnancy success rates are highest with moderate fat levels, so if you have excess fat, dieting before pregnancy may improve success chances.

Question 38

I work standing up—can I have thigh LAMS?

Dr. Jeon Jae‑rang · Accepted Answer

Yes. Injection solution may settle downward due to gravity, but this is not swelling or infection.
