Irresistible Lips (Lip & Lip Corner Filler)

The lips, along with the eyes and nose, play a vital role in completing an attractive face.

As Western facial features have grown in popularity, many people now desire fuller, more voluminous lips — once thought to suit only Western women. (Of course, lips quite as full as those of Western women can feel a bit overwhelming.)

From consulting and treating many patients,

Korean women seem to prefer a likable lip look featuring 'just a touch of volume' (a fuller feel, but nothing excessive) and 'slightly upturned corners that give a hint of a smile.' Lip augmentation surgery can certainly deliver satisfying results, but I personally don't recommend it due to the scarring it leaves around the mouth and the artificial appearance it creates. (This is my personal opinion.)

This patient wanted a bit more volume after the first treatment, so we proceeded with a second session.

The delicate lips were charming in their own right, but they could give off a slightly standoffish impression.

Can you see how the left side of the upper lip is thinner? Asymmetry like this can also be corrected.

When the upper lip itself is thin, we can add volume across the entire lip.

A more attractive lip shape has been beautifully achieved!

Attractive lips can be created through a relatively simple procedure.

However, simple does not mean risk-free — there can still be side effects and complications, so we strongly recommend confirming that your practitioner is a board-certified plastic surgeon before undergoing any treatment. :)

Drawing on extensive clinical experience, I also presented research on lip fillers at the 2017 PRS conference. :)

For consultations and procedures, always see a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Wishing you good health and great beauty today. :)
