Lip fillers are one of the procedures you can consider if you want to add natural volume to thin lips or improve the shape of your lip line and the corners of your mouth. If you are looking into lip fillers for the first time, you may be curious about the price and what amount is appropriate.

Today, I will summarize everything from what lip fillers are, their effects, price, duration, and precautions.

1. What are lip fillers?

Lip fillers are a procedure that involves injecting filler into lip tissue to supplement insufficient volume or adjust the lip line and shape. Since hyaluronic acid, a component naturally found in the human body, serves as the main ingredient, it offers high safety and is said to be relatively easy to correct or remove after the procedure. Furthermore, fillers can be applied not only to the lips but also to areas such as the forehead, the entire nose, under the eyes and cheeks, nasolabial folds, and the chin.

2. Effects of lip fillers

It is said that the effects you can expect from lip fillers are as follows.

 

1) Adds volume to the lips

It is said to help make thin or volume-deficient lips look fuller.

 

2) Improvement of lip line

It is said that you can create a more defined lip shape by complementing blurry lip lines or the cupid's bow.

 

3) Compensation for left-right asymmetry

It is said that lip fillers can be used to balance the lips by adding volume to the necessary areas if the thickness or shape of both lips differs.

 

4) Enhance the corner of the mouth line

It is said that the mouth shape can be designed to look more natural by adjusting the volume and lines around the corners of the mouth.

3. Lip filler price

The price of lip fillers can vary depending on the type of filler used and the volume administered. In particular, even for the same 1cc, the price can differ depending on whether the filler is domestic or imported, and which specific product is used.

The price of Maypure lip filler is said to be 90,000 won per 1cc of domestic filler.

4. Reasons why lip filler prices vary

1) Depending on the filler product

It is said that prices may vary depending on the product because each filler has different characteristics, such as manufacturing methods and physical properties.

 

2) Depending on the required capacity

It is said that the required amount of filler may vary if the lips are very thin or if the corners of the mouth are being corrected along with the lips.

 

3) Depending on the desired design

It is said that the procedure may differ depending on whether the goal is to increase overall volume or to delicately define the lines of the cupid's bow or specific areas.

5. Duration of lip filler effects

The duration of lip filler effects can vary depending on the filler product used and the amount injected. While it can differ from person to person, the general duration is said to be as follows.

 

- Domestic fillers: Average 10-12 months

- Imported fillers: Average 12-18 months

6. Precautions After Lip Filler Injection

Temporary swelling, bruising, pain, and tenderness may occur after a filler procedure. The precautions after lip fillers are said to be as follows.

 

1) Do not press hard or massage the treatment area.

It is recommended to avoid repeatedly pressing or touching the lips strongly immediately after the procedure.

 

2) Refrain from drinking and smoking

It is said that drinking and smoking can affect recovery, so it is important to avoid them for a certain period after the procedure.

 

3) Avoid excessive heat exposure, such as in saunas or steam rooms.

It is recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to hot environments immediately after the procedure.

 

4) If unusual symptoms appear, contact a hospital.

They say you must contact a hospital if you experience changes in skin color or sharp pain.

7. Q&A

1) Is 1cc of lip filler enough?
It varies from person to person. The required amount may differ depending on the natural thinness of the lips, the desired volume, and whether corners of the mouth correction is required. Rather than using a large amount unconditionally, it is important to use an appropriate amount that matches your natural lip shape and facial proportions.

 

2) Do the effects of lip fillers appear immediately?

Changes in volume can be observed relatively quickly as the filler is injected. However, since swelling may occur immediately after the procedure, it is advisable to observe the swelling subsiding rather than judging the final shape based solely on the initial appearance.

 

3) What are the differences between domestic and imported fillers?

Both the domestic and imported filler products used at Maypure are hyaluronic acid-based, but there is a difference in their duration of effect. Domestic fillers last for an average of 10-12 months, while imported fillers last for an average of 12-18 months, and the effects may vary depending on individual differences.

When choosing lip fillers, price is one of the important criteria. However, since the lips are an area where even a small difference in volume can change one's appearance, it is recommended to check not only the price but also what product is used, how many cc are administered, and whether genuine products and the correct dosage are being used.

I hope you use the lip filler prices I shared today as a reference to plan an appropriate procedure.
