Dermatology
Korean lip filler and face fillers, with the doctor's plan in plain English
Korean lip filler has a recognisable look: soft volume, a defined border, slightly lifted corners. Whether you want exactly that or something quieter, Korean lip injections are the same fifteen to thirty minutes with numbing cream, priced per syringe. Fillers are also used for the chin, nose bridge, cheeks and under-eye hollows. Most visitors stay a night or two so the first swelling settles before the flight. Your KCODI interpreter makes sure the doctor knows how much change you want, in millilitres, not adjectives.

- Priced per syringe. Most hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if you dislike the result.

What she does on your clinic day
Setting the amount
She translates your goal into syringes and placement. If the doctor thinks half a syringe is enough, you hear that, and you pay for what you need.
During injection
She stays in the room. You check the mirror midway, and she passes on small requests: more on the left, stop there.
The days after
She tells you which swelling and bruising is expected. Pain, white patches or blotchy skin go straight to the doctor through her, at any hour.

Swelling
Lips swell unevenly at first. Ice gently, sleep with your head raised, avoid heat and alcohol.
Typical price in Seoul
The figure on this page is per syringe. Korean hyaluronic acid brands sit at the lower end and imported brands higher. Lips often need one syringe. Chin and cheeks can need more. Ask what happens to any unused product, and whether dissolving is charged if you want a correction.
