Lip filler viewed through reviews

Hello.
This is Kim Jang-joo from Beautystars.
Recently, there are many who want to change the impression by
making their lips fuller rather than just that.
Many people have started to ask for a slight lift of the lip corners for a softer impression.
Just filling the lips doesn’t completely change the overall
image.
So recently, there has been an increase in people
considering lip volume correction
and lip corner Botox together.
There are more people who are considering it.
Both treatments have their own charms when done individually, but
when done together, they create a much more natural and
three-dimensional change✨
Today, I will beautifully organize information about this special combination,
before and after changes · maintenance period · treatment tips.
Ultimately, I think the difference in treatments comes from these details
making the quality differ!
1. Why do we receive correction treatments and
Botox together?
The area around the mouth is a key area that influences the impression more than you think.
Even a slight change in the volume of the lips or the direction of the lip corners
can change the overall atmosphere of the face.
For example,
👄If you only add volume to the lips,
👉 It can look pressed down, giving a dull or sagging impression.
👄If you only lift the lip corners with Botox,
👉 The center of the lips can look flat, creating an awkward impression with a broken line.
Therefore, while it is fine to receive lip treatments
and lip corner Botox separately,
getting them done together can yield much more natural and
harmonious results.
I always see the lips and lip corners
as one structure,
focusing on creating a flow where the two areas connect naturally.
2. Is 1cc of lip filler sufficient?
Many people think that lip volume correction
is simply a treatment for making the lips fuller,
but in reality, it is closer to
a delicate process of refining
the ratio of the jawline, lip hill, and philtrum.
Since the lips are located in the center of the face,
even a small adjustment to the line can make
the impression clearer and provide a much softer and
more sophisticated atmosphere.
Especially in such cases,
👉 1cc of lip filler can provide
sufficient change.
👄Dull lip hills or left-right asymmetry
👄Thin lips giving a strong impression
👄“Peanut-shaped” lips with a concave upper lip
👄Facial ratios making the philtrum appear longer
In the end, lip treatments are not just about
making them fuller,
but the key is
to maintain the best lines and
balance that suits your face.
3. How long does the maintenance period last?

💉 Lip filler treatment
→ Usually lasts about 6 months to 1 year.
It can vary depending on the formulation used and the individual’s metabolic rate.
Be sure to check what products are used before the treatment.
💉 Lip corner Botox
→ Lasts about 3 to 4 months.
Over time, it gradually returns to its original state, but
if you receive treatments regularly,
the longevity can improve more and more.
✅ Tip : If you do a small touch-up before absorption,
you can maintain a more natural and lasting
feel.
Additionally, as the muscles gradually adapt,
the longevity often improves with repeated treatments.
4. Important points to know before and after treatment

👄1cc of lip filler
is sufficient for basic correction.
👄Lip corner Botox helps soften the impression even when done alone,
but if the lip line is vague or lacks volume,
doing corrections together gives a more balanced effect.
💬 Q&A
Q. Are there any side effects?
❌ Asymmetry
It can occur due to adjustments or differences in muscle reactions,
but can be corrected with a touch-up.
❌ Nodules (hard lumps)
Can occur, though rarely, and can be resolved with time or dissolving injections.
❌ Allergic reactions
Very rare, but may occur depending on individual constitution.
❌ Special side effects from Botox
May temporarily cause unnatural expressions or asymmetry in smile lines due to muscle over-relaxation.
Q. Will there be bruising or swelling?
There may be temporary swelling or bruising, depending on the individual.
Usually subsides within 2 to 3 days,
and if bruising occurs, it can usually be concealed with makeup.
Recovery is generally quick with just ice packs and sufficient rest after treatment.
Q. Can I only get filler for the upper lip?
Yes, it is possible.
If the upper lip is thin or turned in,
it can provide a clearer and
softer impression.
Q. Will it also have the effect of making the philtrum look shorter?
Yes, it does.
Enhancing the volume of the upper lip makes
the philtrum look shorter and improves facial balance.
Q. Is there a youthful effect?
Yes, there is.
It gives a sense of dimension, making the face look younger
and changing to a softer impression.
Thank you for reading to the end.
We will always be meticulous and warm in our approach so that
small changes can lead to great satisfaction.
Best regards,
