Nose Sculpting Injections in Gangnam

What are nose-sculpting injections?

This procedure involves the use of dermal fillers (typically hyaluronic acid–based) or in some cases botulinum toxin (for the nose tip), to reshape and refine the appearance of the nose. It’s often called “non-surgical rhinoplasty” or “liquid nose lift.”
Typical goals include:

  • Raising a low or flat nasal bridge (common in East Asian features)
  • Smoothing out a small dorsal (bridge) hump or bump
  • Lifting or refining the nasal tip, and improving symmetry or contour

The procedure & what to expect

  • Duration: Usually around 15–30 minutes in-clinic.
  • Anesthesia: May use numbing cream; the injections are minimally invasive. Seoul Delight Dermatology Clinic
  • Downtime: Very little. Mild swelling/redness may occur, but most patients resume normal activity quickly.
  • Results: Immediate visible change; full settling usually within a week. Longevity depends on filler type and individual metabolism. For many treatments, 6-12 months is typical.

Cost & factors affecting price

  • In Gangnam area, prices vary depending on type of filler, amount required, complexity of contouring, and clinic reputation.
  • For example: one source lists a range from ₩500,000 to ₩2,500,000 (~USD 400–2,000) for different levels of nose-sculpting.
  • Another source estimates baseline nose-filler cost around ₩180,000–₩500,000+ per 1 ml syringe (though actual total cost will depend on how many ml are needed).
  • Additional costs if using specialized fillers (long-lasting, collagen-stimulating) or combining with other treatments (thread lifts, botox) may push cost higher.

Who is a good candidate?

You might be a suitable candidate if you:

  • Want subtle refinement of nose shape without surgery
  • Have a low/flat bridge, mild hump, slight asymmetry, or want a raised tip
  • Prefer minimal downtime and reversible/adjustable results
  • Understand the limitations: this isn’t suitable for major reduction of nose size, very large structural changes, or functional problems (e.g., breathing issues) — those often need surgery.

Risks & considerations

  • Even though minimally invasive, as with all injections there are risks: swelling, redness, bruising, potential filler migration, and in rare cases vascular complication (since the nose has a complex vascular network). It’s critical the injector has strong anatomical knowledge. Seoul Delight Dermatology Clinic
  • Duration is not permanent (unless special fillers used) — maintenance or touch-ups may be needed.
  • Results depend heavily on individual anatomy, filler type, injector skill, and aftercare.
  • If you later decide you want a surgical rhinoplasty, some fillers or previous modifications may affect surgical planning.

Aftercare tips

  • Avoid touching/manipulating the nose area for at least 24-48 hours.
  • Avoid wearing heavy glasses that rest on the nose for a few days (to prevent shifting of the filler)
  • Sleep on your back, avoid lying face-down.
  • Avoid intense exercise, sauna, or heavy facial massages for ~48 hours.
  • Follow up with your injector/clinic if you notice unevenness, excessive swelling, or discomfort.
