What They Are

• Lip injections typically use hyaluronic acid (HA)-based fillers to add volume, define the lip border (vermillion), enhance the Cupid’s bow, or correct asymmetry.
• In Korea you’ll find specific aesthetic lip-techniques like the “cherry lips” (volume focused on centre) or “lift-edge filler” (outer lip corners lifted for a softer smile).
• Results are immediate, though final settling might take 1-2 weeks as swelling subsides. gangnamplasticsurgery.clinic+1

🎯 Who It’s Good For & What to Consider

Good Candidate If You

• Have naturally thin lips or have lost volume due to ageing and want fuller lips.
• Want to correct asymmetry, define the lip border, or get a more balanced lip shape.
• Prefer a minimally invasive treatment with low downtime.

Consider Alternative or Be Careful If You

• Expect large structural changes (e.g., very long lips, surgical lift) — filler alone may not achieve everything.
• Have unrealistic expectations (e.g., unlimited volume) — good results often are about proportion and balance.
• Have health concerns that might affect injection suitability (bleeding disorders, certain medical conditions) — always disclose.

❓ Key Questions to Ask During Consultation

• What brand/ type of filler will you use? (Ensure it’s safe, approved, genuine)
• How many syringes will be required to meet my goals?
• What techniques will be used (e.g., centre-volume, outer-corner lift)?
• What is the injector’s qualification and experience with lip injections?
• Can I see before/after photos of patients with similar lip goals?
• What are the risks (swelling, bruising, lumps, migration) and how are complications handled?
• What is the exact cost including consultation, injections, and follow-up?
• If you are an international patient: Is there English support, translator, after-care follow-up?
