Lip Filler in Myeongdong, Seoul
Good lip filler is about shape and proportion rather than size. Our doctors balance the upper and lower lip, define the border where needed and keep movement soft and natural.
Quick answer
Lip filler uses a soft hyaluronic acid gel, usually 0.5–1 ml per session, to add volume, define the lip border, correct asymmetry or hydrate dry, lined lips. A natural result keeps the lower lip slightly fuller than the upper. Treatment takes about 20–30 minutes with numbing, swelling peaks for 2–3 days, and results usually last 6–12 months.
What can lip filler do?
Lip filler can add volume to thin lips, sharpen a blurred border, lift the Cupid’s bow, even out asymmetry and smooth fine vertical lip lines. Softer, more flexible fillers are used in the lips so they move naturally when you talk and smile.
Who is it for?
- Thin or deflated lips, or lips that have lost shape with age.
- Uneven lips or a flat Cupid’s bow.
- For only a subtle roll of the upper lip, a lip flip may be enough.
- Not during an active cold sore; tell us if you get them often.
How Obliv plans lip filler
Your doctor studies your lips at rest and when smiling, measures the upper-to-lower ratio and discusses the shape you want, from a subtle hydrating result to more defined borders. We build gradually; a second small session is better than overfilling once.
| Typical volume | Usually 0.5–1 ml per session |
