How do I consult about lip fillers if I am concerned about shape and expression rather than volume?

Planned branch to visit: Maypure Hongdae Station Branch

 

When looking into lip fillers, I find it more difficult to explain what shape I want than how much volume I want. I am wondering if the decision is made by considering not only making the lips bigger, but also the balance between the upper and lower lips and the degree of protrusion when viewed from the side. I feel that choosing a shape that looks pretty in a photo might be different from a shape that looks natural on my actual face.

I would like to know if, during the consultation, you only observe the lips when they are closed, or if you also check when smiling or speaking. You know how sometimes lips may look similar from the front, but one side appears higher or the upper lip curls inward when smiling? I am curious how you distinguish between differences caused by these movements and the difference in natural lip thickness. I do not want to assume that all concerns regarding lip shape can be solved with fillers.

I wish I had a standard when conveying the look I want. Would the consultation approach differ depending on whether I want to make the Cupid's bow look more defined or just softly refine the overall contours? I’m wondering if it would be better to differentiate between the parts of my face I want to keep and the parts I want to change, rather than trying to copy someone else's lip photos exactly. Saying "make it look natural" feels more vague than I thought, haha.

I would also like to ask about how the amount is determined. I want to know if the entire fixed amount is used from the start, or if the necessary range is determined based on the original shape and tissue condition. Is it acceptable to simply assume that a smaller amount will always result in a natural look? During the consultation, I would like to hear an explanation not only of the product name but also the reason for choosing it and the range of possible changes for my lips.

I am also curious about the criteria for distinguishing between the appearance immediately after the procedure and the appearance evaluated after some time has passed. I would like to know when a follow-up check is performed when it is difficult to assess balance due to swelling, and whether there is a review process to avoid deciding on additional procedures immediately even if one side looks different. I would also like to be informed in advance of how to contact them not only if I am dissatisfied with the shape but also if I experience any uncomfortable symptoms.

I am also wondering if I need to mention if my lips are dry or cracked before booking. It would be helpful if you could organize any information I absolutely must disclose during the consultation, such as past issues around my lips or any medications I am currently taking. If I have a consultation at the Hongdae Station location, I would like to ask step-by-step about what options suit my facial expressions and face, rather than focusing on trendy styles.
