Lip filler viewed through reviews
Hello.
I'm Kim Jang-joo from Beautist Doctors.
These days, there are really many people who ask to change their impression gently by
making their lips fuller,
slightly lifting the corners of their mouth
rather than just filling in their lips.
Just filling the lips doesn’t drastically change the overall
image.
So recently, there are increasing numbers of people who are contemplating lip volume correction and
lip corner Botox together
.
Both procedures have their charm individually, but
when done together, they create a much more natural and
three-dimensional change ✨
Today, I will beautifully整理 this special combination, including
before-and-after changes · maintenance duration · treatment tips.
Ultimately, I believe the difference of treatments lies in these details,
which lead to perfection!
1. Why should we receive correction procedures and
Botox together?
The area around the mouth is a key part that significantly influences the impression.
If the volume of your lips or the direction of your mouth corners change slightly,
the overall atmosphere of your face changes.
For example,
👄 If you only add volume to your lips,
👉 it may look compressed, giving a stuffy or droopy impression.
👄 If you only lift the corners of your mouth with Botox,
👉 the center of the lips may flatten, causing an awkward impression as if the line is cut off.
So it’s okay to receive lip treatments and
lip corner Botox separately, but
you can achieve much more natural and
harmonious results when treated together.
I always see the lips and mouth corners as one structure,
and focus on creating a flow that naturally connects the two areas.
2. Is 1cc of lip filler sufficient?
Many people think of lip volume correction
simply as a procedure that makes it
fuller, but it’s actually
closer to the work of carefully refining the ratio of contours, lip peaks, and philtrum.
Since the lips are located at the center of the face,
just organizing the line a little can
make your impression clearer, giving a much softer and
more sophisticated atmosphere.
In particular cases like this,
👉 1cc of lip filler alone can
provide ample change.
👄 Dull lip peaks or asymmetry
👄 A strong impression with thin lips
👄 A 'peanut shaped' upper lip
👄 A face ratio that makes the philtrum look long
Ultimately, lip treatments are not just about
making them fuller,
but rather about enhancing the lines that suit your face the best
and maintaining balance.

Reasons why 1cc of lip filler makes the philtrum look short
3. How long does the maintenance period last?
💉 Lip filler treatment
→ Usually lasts around 6 months to 1 year.
It can vary depending on the type used and individual metabolic rate.
Be sure to check which product is used before treatment.
💉 Lip corner Botox
→ Lasts about 3 to 4 months.
Gradually, over time, you will return to your original state, but
if done regularly,
the maintenance can improve more.
✅ Tip : If you do a small retouch before absorption,
you can maintain a more natural and long-lasting
feel.
Also, as the muscles gradually adapt,
the durability often improves with repeated procedures.
4. Important points to know before and after treatment
👄 A lip filler of 1cc
is sufficient for basic correction.
👄 Lip corner Botox also softens the impression on its own, but,
if the lip line is blurry or lacking in volume,
you achieve a more balanced effect when combining it with correction.
💬 Q&A
Q. Are there any side effects?
❌ Asymmetry
May occur due to differences in adjustment or muscle reactions, but can be refined through retouching.
❌ Nodules (hard lumps)
While rare, they may occur and can be resolved over time or with dissolving injections.
❌ Allergic reactions
Very rare but may occur depending on the individual’s constitution.
❌ Unique Botox side effects
Unnatural expressions due to muscle over-relaxation,
as well as asymmetry in the smile lines, may temporarily appear.
Q. Will there be bruising or swelling?
There can be personal differences, but
temporary swelling or bruising may occur.
Usually, it settles within 2 to 3 days,
and even if bruising occurs, it can usually be covered with makeup.
After the procedure, ice compresses and adequate rest lead to a quick recovery.
Q. Can I only get filler for the upper lip?
Yes, it is possible.
If the upper lip is thin or receding,
it can give a clear and
soft impression even with the upper lip alone.
Q. Is there a shortening effect on the philtrum?
Yes, there is.
Enhancing the volume of the upper lip can make
the philtrum appear shorter and improve the balance of the face.
Q. Is there an effect of looking younger?
Yes, it does.
It creates a three-dimensional effect, making the face appear younger and
changing it into a softer impression.
Thank you for reading until the end.
To ensure that small changes lead to great satisfaction,
I will always be thorough and warm in my approach.
Sincerely, Kim Jang-joo.
