Quick answer
What is cheek contouring?
Cheek contouring is a non-surgical plan to reshape the cheeks. Where the midface is flat or hollow, hyaluronic acid filler restores lift over the cheekbone; where the lower cheeks look full or wide, fat-dissolving or slimming injections and RF tightening reduce bulk.
Many visitors to Seoul want the soft, high-cheek V-shape popular in Korea. The doctor decides whether you need volume, reduction or both — and will tell you if your face would look better with less. Read about cheek fillers for the volume side.

FAQ
Cheek Contouring questions
Is cheek contouring the same as cheek filler?
Not quite. Cheek filler adds volume only; contouring may also reduce fullness in the lower cheeks so the overall shape changes.
Will I look overfilled?
The doctor uses conservative amounts and prioritises structure over volume. More can be added at review if needed.
How soon will I see results?
Filler is visible immediately. Fat reduction or slimming takes several weeks.
Can I combine it with Botox for jaw slimming?
Yes. Masseter botulinum toxin for a square jaw is commonly combined for a softer lower face.
Do foreigners pay more?
No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
