LIP FILLER KOREAN
LIP FILLER KOREAN
Korean lip filler is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the lips by giving them a natural, fuller, and more defined shape. Unlike traditional lip filler techniques, Korean lip fillers focus on creating subtle volume with a soft, balanced look. The goal is not just to increase lip size but to enhance lip shape and symmetry for a natural, delicate appearance, often referred to as “cherry lips” or “heart-shaped lips.” The procedure uses hyaluronic acid-based fillers, which are safe, temporary, and can be adjusted to achieve the desired look.
Benefits
- Natural-Looking Results: Korean lip fillers are designed to give a subtle, natural enhancement rather than an exaggerated look.
- Improved Lip Shape and Symmetry: The procedure focuses on reshaping and balancing the lips for an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
- Boosts Hydration: Hyaluronic acid, commonly used in lip fillers, improves lip hydration, making them look smooth and plump.
- Reversible: If you’re not happy with the results, the effects can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase.
- Minimal Downtime: The treatment is quick and usually requires little to no recovery time.
What To Expect During The Procedure
The procedure generally takes about 30 minutes to an hour. It begins with a consultation to discuss your desired results. A numbing cream or local anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort during the injection. The provider will use a fine needle to inject the hyaluronic acid filler into specific areas of your lips, focusing on adding volume while maintaining a natural shape. You may feel slight pressure or a pinch, but most patients report minimal discomfort. After the injection, your provider may massage the lips to ensure even distribution of the filler. You can return to your normal activities right after the treatment, but slight swelling or bruising may occur.
How Long Does It Last?
The results of Korean lip fillers are immediate, though you may notice slight swelling in the first 24 to 48 hours. Once the swelling subsides, you will see fuller, smoother lips with a natural shape that enhances your facial features. Results typically last 6 to 9 months. For long-term maintenance, follow-up treatments can be scheduled as needed.
What To Do Before The Treatment
Refrain from taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or any blood-thinning supplements like fish oil for at least a week before the treatment to reduce bruising.
Drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated, which can help improve the results of the filler.
For at least 24 hours before the procedure, avoid alcohol and smoking as they can increase the likelihood of bruising and swelling.
What To Do After The Treatment
Avoid Touching or Massaging the Lips: Let the filler settle naturally to avoid disrupting its placement.
Apply Ice Packs: If you experience swelling, applying ice can help reduce it.
Avoid Heat and Sun Exposure: Steer clear of hot showers, saunas, or direct sunlight for at least 24-48 hours post-treatment.
No Strenuous Exercise: Avoid heavy physical activity for 24 hours to prevent increased swelling or bruising.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help maintain the hydration and plumpness of the lips.
Avoid Lip Products: Refrain from using makeup, lip balm, or other lip products for at least 24 hours.
