Nose Fillers in Korea

Myeongdong Umi Skin Clinic


🧴 What Are Nose Fillers?

Nose fillers (non-surgical rhinoplasty) use injectable hyaluronic acid or similar gel to sculpt and enhance the nose without surgery. They can:

  • Raise a low or flat nasal bridge
  • Smooth bumps or humps
  • Refine the tip shape
  • Correct mild asymmetry

This procedure is temporary but immediate, with results visible right after injection.

💉 Common Injection Areas

  • Nasal bridge — to create height and definition
  • Nasal tip — for a refined or upturned look
  • Columella — subtle support
  • Sidewalls — improve smooth contours

⏱ Procedure Overview

Before

  • Consultation about goals and anatomy
  • Photos and mapping of injection points
  • Optional topical numbing

During

  • Procedure takes 15–30 minutes
  • Injectable gel placed with fine needles or cannulas
  • Minimal pain thanks to numbing

After

  • Immediate results
  • Short observation period
  • Basic aftercare guidance
