Slim Ankle Injection 6ccGangnam, Seoul
The Slim Ankle Injection is a 6cc injection program for the ankle area, chosen as one session or three. Assessment first establishes whether thick-looking ankles come from fat under the skin, swelling or the bone and tendon structure before considering suitability. At QD Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea, we examine you first and then decide with you on the approach that suits your concerns.
Who it’s for
- Ankles that look thick and whose cause you would like assessed
- A wish to discuss a small-volume option for a narrow area such as the ankle
- Previous body injections whose response you would like reviewed alongside your current condition
This is not a weight-loss treatment or a correction of the whole leg line, and it does not change thickness caused by bone, muscle or tendon. The extent and duration of any change vary with the person and formulation.
How it works
The Slim Ankle Injection is given as a 6cc program. Its ingredients, whether a steroid is included, its purpose and precautions are explained at consultation before treatment, together with a check against your allergies and current medicines.
THE MECHANISM, STEP BY STEP
01Cause assessment
Distinguish fat, swelling and structures such as the ankle bones and Achilles tendon, standing and seated. Review differences between sides, previous injections or surgery, skin inflammation and current medicines.
02Ingredient check
The Slim Ankle Injection is given as a 6cc program. Its ingredients, whether a steroid is included, its purpose and precautions are explained at consultation before treatment, together with a check against your allergies and current medicines.
03Session plan
The 6cc program is chosen as one session or three. Even a small area may not suit an injection, depending on the cause, so the extent and number of sessions are decided after examination. If the thickness comes from bone, muscle or tendon, we explain first that this injection is unlikely to change it.
04Progress review
Once discomfort and skin response settle, the need for and timing of another session are discussed. Even within three sessions, the area is reassessed before each one, in the same positions as the first examination.

- 3Confirm ingredients, allergies and consent, then prepare the area. Treatment follows the extent set by the clinician, followed by a check of skin response and discomfort.
- 4Do not press firmly or massage the area yourself. Follow individual advice on long periods of standing, exercise, showering and alcohol.
Time for consultation, preparation and observation is advised according to the area and skin condition.
Recovery & aftercare
- Bruising, swelling, pain or redness may occur after an injection. Ankle swelling can vary through the day, so early swelling is not read as a change in contour.

The Slim Ankle Injection is a 6cc program for the ankle area, chosen as one or three sessions; QD S-Cut contains a steroid and comes as 30cc or 60cc, chosen as one or four sessions. The ingredients of the Slim Ankle Injection and whether it contains a steroid are explained in person at consultation.
