This is a filler guide compiled by Dr. Choi Byeong-geun of SHINE U Clinic Konkuk (3 minutes walk from Konkuk Univ. Station Exit 1).

Many people inquire about lip fillers because it is difficult to create a plump lip line with makeup alone. This is a topic we often discuss in the consultation room, so I have summarized what we consider together during a consultation.

The lips are an area with thin skin and are sensitive to irritation.

• In the past, there were cases where people experienced difficulties due to illegal implant procedures.
• Implants often have side effects and are difficult to remove, so caution is required.
• It is safer to proceed with genuine fillers at a place with proven expertise.

Restylane is one of the products frequently mentioned in consultations.

• It is a hyaluronic acid filler developed in Sweden in 1996.
• It is a product verified for safety, having received US FDA approval.
• The duration of effect may vary depending on the individual.

Even among hyaluronic acid fillers, each product has different characteristics.

• The shape and contour expressed vary depending on the particle size.
• The duration of remaining effect also differs for each product.
• Even within Restylane, different types are applied depending on the purpose.

If you are curious about the product and line that are right for you, please check by consulting for lip fillers.

Satisfactory results begin with consultation.

1. We discuss the desired lip line in detail.
2. We decide together on the desired volume.
3. We pinpoint the injection amount and points for each area.

The more detailed the discussion of desired points, the higher the satisfaction with the results tends to be.

When performing the procedure, the doctor considers several factors together.

• We plan how much to inject and into which areas.
• We try to minimize swelling and bruising by avoiding blood vessels as much as possible.
• We also explain that the filler will be naturally absorbed after several months.

You may be concerned about injections around the lips, but if you sufficiently discuss your condition and desired shape, you can proceed with greater peace of mind. If you are curious about a plan tailored to your lips, please feel free to inquire by asking about my lip filler.
