Hello, this is Primi clinic in Seoul, Korea.

 

For doctors who are new to fillers, the most commonly learned areas are the chin and lips.

This often leads some to underestimate procedures like lip fillers, but in reality, lips are one of the most technique-intensive areas.

Achieving natural results requires not only advanced skills but also the practitioner’s aesthetic sense, which is crucial for crafting beautiful lips.


What’s Important for Natural Lip Fillers?

Among the doctors I’ve observed, some inject into just 2–3 points on the lower lip and 2 points on the upper lip, then call it a day.

However, since everyone’s facial proportions are different, applying the same technique to everyone can result in unnatural outcomes.

When designing lip filler treatments, it’s essential to consider:

  1. Volume asymmetry
  2. Corners of the mouth and dimple placement
  3. Upper-to-lower lip ratio
  4. Cupid’s bow
  5. Philtrum length (midface-to-lower face ratio)
  6. Lip protrusion

For patients with a long philtrum or a long chin, instead of merely increasing lip volume, it’s important to flip the upper lip slightly to create the appearance of a shorter philtrum or chin.

Lip Filler Before and After Cases

  1. Case 1그림4.jpgThis patient was concerned about thin lower lips and a long philtrum relative to the width of their mouth. After the procedure, you can see the corners of their mouth lifted and the philtrum appearing shorter.

    While surgery cannot drastically shorten the philtrum, fillers can provide a natural correction.
     
  2. Case 2그림5.jpg
    This was an international patient who wanted a specific "M-shape" and "peanut-shaped" lip design, which is less common in Korea. Their Cupid’s bow was also unclear. After the procedure, the Cupid’s bow became more defined, and their desired lip shapes were achieved.

     

  3. Case 3그림3.jpgThis patient had concerns about lip asymmetry and thin lips. Since they didn’t want corner lifting, we focused on defining the Cupid’s bow and correcting lower lip asymmetry, resulting in the balanced look shown in the after photo.
     

  4. Case 4

This patient, concerned about drooping corners of the mouth due to age, opted for corner fillers and a small volume boost in the lower lip to reduce wrinkles. Adding too much volume would have looked unnatural for their age, so we prioritized subtle improvements.

 

5. Case 5

  1. Despite already having sufficient lip volume, this patient wanted fuller lips with better proportional balance. After correcting minor asymmetry and increasing upper and lower lip volume, we achieved a natural and harmonious look.


Techniques and Considerations for Male Lip Fillers

 

Men’s lip fillers should be approached differently from women’s to avoid a feminine appearance.

  • Male patients often have thinner upper lips.
  • Instead of focusing on overall volume or curvature, emphasize upper lip volume to achieve a natural and masculine look.

 

Potential Complications of Lip Fillers

Lip filler procedures are generally safe and not associated with severe complications. However, practitioners must avoid:

  1. Overfilling: Excessive volume can lead to unnatural results or complications.
  2. Incorrect depth: Injecting too deep may damage arteries, leading to severe bruising and swelling.唇ヒアルロン酸フィラー副作用
  3. Superficial injections: When fillers are placed too shallowly, they may shift to the white border of the lips, causing drooping or asymmetry.

    If complications arise, such as arterial damage or filler migration, immediate action is necessary, including dissolving the filler if needed.
