Quick answer

What are body fillers?

Body fillers are injectable gels placed under the skin to add volume and shape to areas such as hip dips, buttocks, shoulders or the backs of the hands. Most are dense hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers designed for the body; collagen stimulators such as poly-L-lactic acid build volume more gradually.

Results are visible immediately and settle over 2–4 weeks. Popular requests in Seoul include smoothing the dip at the side of the hip — see hip dip filler — and a rounder buttock profile.

How Body Fillers works at Umi

Every visit is doctor-led and explained in English, from the first skin check to aftercare.

Consult & design
The doctor examines your shape standing, discusses goals and estimates the volume needed.
Mark & numb
Areas are marked and local anaesthetic is given at the entry points.
Cannula placement
Filler is placed in layers with a blunt cannula to reduce bruising, then massaged smooth.
Aftercare
Avoid pressure, tight clothing, saunas and intense exercise on the area for about a week.

Before & after

How body fillers reshape the outline

FAQ

Body Fillers questions

How much filler do I need for the body?

Body areas need much more than the face, often tens of millilitres depending on the area and goal. The doctor will estimate the amount at consultation.

Is body filler safe?

When a qualified doctor uses approved products with a cannula, it is generally safe. Risks include bruising, lumps, infection and rarely vascular complications, which is why medical supervision matters.

Can HA body filler be dissolved?

Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed.

Can I fly home after treatment?

Usually yes, after a day or two. Wear loose clothing and move around during the flight.

Do foreigners pay more?

No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
