This is a guide to filler compiled by Dr. Choi Byeong-geun of SHINE U Clinic Konkuk (3 minutes walk from Konkuk Univ. Station Exit 1).
Nose filler is a procedure that can refine the shape of the bridge and tip of the nose without surgery, making it a less burdensome option. Many people wish for the results to last a long time. We have compiled information on the factors that influence the longevity of nose filler and how to maintain its shape for an extended period.

How Nose Filler Works
Filler is a procedure that fills areas lacking volume. Its goal is to fill in sunken areas of the nasal bridge to create balance and achieve a natural shape that complements the face shape and overall image.
The appropriate filler varies depending on the area of use, and recently, hyaluronic acid fillers, which can be dissolved if the shape is not satisfactory, are primarily used.
Factors Affecting Longevity
Hyaluronic acid-based products are used for long-lasting nose fillers.
- As hyaluronic acid is a component naturally present in the human body, natural volume can be expected.
- If the shape is awkward, it can be dissolved for correction or re-treatment.
- There may be differences in longevity depending on viscosity and formulation.
However, the duration of maintenance may vary from person to person.

How to Maintain the Shape for a Long Time
If nose filler is performed alone, it may spread sideways. Therefore, it is sometimes performed with dissolvable threads to help maintain the shape.
- The inserted threads are absorbed by the body over time.
- As they are absorbed, they induce collagen formation, which also helps with elasticity.
- The procedure method is applied differently depending on the nose shape.
Precautions After the Procedure
- Avoid wearing glasses or sunglasses until the shape settles.
- Bruising, swelling, and itching are natural parts of the healing process and will disappear.
- Avoid massage, saunas, and strenuous exercise for about one week.
Conclusion
Nose filler is a procedure that requires consideration of your face shape and nose condition. Therefore, it is advisable to confirm that genuine products and appropriate quantities are used and to consult with experienced medical staff. Results and longevity may vary from person to person, so please proceed after an in-person consultation.
