Quick answer
What is lip filler?
Lip filler is a soft hyaluronic acid gel injected into the lips to add volume, define the border, correct asymmetry or smooth vertical lip lines. Results are visible straight away and can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed.
In Seoul many patients prefer a natural, well-proportioned shape rather than large volume. If you mainly want the upper lip to show more without added volume, a Botox lip flip may suit you better.

Your visit

Every visit is doctor-led and explained in English, from the first skin check to aftercare.
- Consult & lip design
You discuss shape, size and reference looks; the doctor checks proportions to the rest of the face.
- Numbing
Numbing cream for 20–30 minutes; the gel itself contains lidocaine.
- Gradual injection
Filler is added in small amounts to the body, border or corners, checking symmetry as we go.
- Aftercare

Consider another option if…
- You have an active cold sore — wait until fully healed
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have a big event or flight within 2–3 days and cannot risk swelling
- You want very large volume in one session — building gradually is safer

FAQ
Lip Filler questions
Does lip filler hurt?
The lips are sensitive, but numbing cream and lidocaine in the gel keep it manageable for most people.
How much lip filler do I need?
Many first-time patients start with about 0.5–1 ml. The doctor will suggest an amount that fits your face, and more can be added later.
Can I get lip filler if I get cold sores?
Yes, but only when no sore is active. Tell the doctor; antiviral medication may be advised beforehand.
When can I fly after lip filler?
Usually the next day is fine, but swelling may be more visible. If possible, treat 3–5 days before departure.
Do foreigners pay more?
No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
