Hello.

I am Director Kim Jang-ju.

​

​

These days, many people prefer to make their lips plump rather than just simply doing that,

and instead ask to gently lift the corners of their mouth to soften their appearance.

​

Filling only the lips doesn’t significantly change the overall image.

​

So recently,

✅ Many are considering lip volume correction and Botox for turning up the corners of the mouth together.

​

The two procedures are appealing on their own,

but when done together, they create a much more natural and three-dimensional change ✨

​

Today, I will beautifully organize everything about this special combination,

including before-and-after changes, duration, and procedure tips.

1️⃣ Why should we receive correction procedures and Botox together?

The area around the mouth is a key area that greatly affects the impression.

Even a slight change in lip volume or the direction of the corners of the mouth can completely change the mood of the face.

​

For example,

👄 If you only add volume to the lips,

👉 it can make the corners of the mouth look droopy or create a suffocating impression.

👄 If you only lift the corners with Botox,

👉 the center of the lips becomes flat, leading to an awkward impression as if the line is cut off.

​

That’s why, while it’s okay to receive lip filling and Botox for the corners separately,

you can achieve a much more natural and harmonious result when they are done together.

​

I always view the lips and the corners of the mouth as a single structure,

focusing on creating a flow where the two areas connect naturally.

​

2️⃣ Is 1cc of lip filler enough?

Many people think of lip volume correction

as simply making them plump,

but in fact, it is closer to finely tuning the balance of the contour, lip peak, and philtrum.

​

​

Since the lips are located at the center of the face,

just tidying up the line a bit can make the impression sharper, giving a much softer and more elegant vibe.

​

​

Especially in such cases,

👉 you can experience a sufficient change with just 1cc of lip filler.

​

🫦 Blurred lip peaks or left-right asymmetry

🫦 Thin lips that give a strong impression

🫦 A 'peanut-shaped' lip with the upper lip pulled in

🫦 A face ratio where the philtrum looks long

​

Ultimately, lip procedures are not just about making them plump,

the key is to enhance the lines and balance that suit your face best.

3️⃣ How long will the results last?

💉 Lip filler procedure

→ Typically lasts about 6 months to 1 year.

​

It may vary depending on the type of product used and the individual's metabolism speed.

Make sure to check what product is being used before the procedure.

​

​

💉 Botox for the corners of the mouth

→ Lasts about 3 to 4 months.

Over time, it gradually returns to its original state,

but regular treatments can improve the lasting effect.

​

​

✔️ Tip

If you do a light touch-up before absorption, you can maintain a more natural and longer-lasting feeling.

Moreover, as the muscles gradually adapt, the durability often improves with repeated treatment.

​

​

4️⃣ Important points to know before and after treatment

👄 A lip filler of 1cc is enough for basic correction.

👄 Botox for the corners of the mouth can soften the impression on its own,

but if the lip line is blurred or lacks volume, doing it together with correction gives a more balanced effect.

​

💬 Q&A

Q. Are there any side effects?

​

🪞 Asymmetry

Can occur due to differences in muscle response or dosage adjustments, but can be corrected with touch-ups.

​

🪞 Nodules (hard lumps)

Can occur rarely and can be resolved with time or dissolving injections.

​

🪞 Allergic reactions

Very rare, but can occur depending on individual constitution.

​

🪞 Unique side effects of Botox

Temporary unnatural expressions or asymmetry of the smile lines may appear due to muscle over-relaxation.

Q. Will there be bruising or swelling?

​

It varies from person to person, but there might be temporary swelling or bruising.

Usually subsides within 2 to 3 days,

and if bruising occurs, it is usually at a level that can be concealed with makeup.

Recovery is relatively quick with just ice packs and sufficient rest after treatment.

Q. Can I just do the upper lip filler?

​

Yes, it is possible.

If it is thin or rolled in,

the upper lip alone can give a clear and soft impression.

Q. Does it also have the effect of making the philtrum look shorter?

​

Yes, it does.

By enhancing the volume of the upper lip, it makes the philtrum appear shorter and improves the face’s balance.

Q. Does it have a youthful effect?

​

Yes.

It creates a three-dimensional effect, making the face look younger and giving a softer impression.
