What is the allowable range for lip filler 1cc?
Hello.
This is Director Kim Jang-joo.
Lip filler 1cc is not
simply a procedure to fill volume.
Did you know that
it can also improve the length of your philtrum while organizing the lip line?
Especially, lip filler around 1cc
with a light procedure
makes your appearance look much more organized,
It's often recommended without burden for those considering lip fillers for the first time.
Today, I will introduce
the changes possible with lip fillers
for those who are considering,
the change possible with 1cc lip filler and
the reason why your philtrum looks short.
1. Lip Filler Checkpoints
Even for just one lip,
there are quite a few points to check.
It is important to design while viewing the overall balance based on the following factors.
① Volume ratio of the upper and lower lips
If one side is excessive or lacking,
the overall impression can look disorganized.
② Organizing the lip line
If the lip line is clear,
makeup applies much more neatly.
③ Expression of the lip tip (lip peaks)
If the pointed part in the center of the upper lip is
blurry, it can make your impression look dull.
④ Direction of the corners of the mouth
If the corners of the mouth droop,
it can give a tired or expressionless impression.
⑤ Shape of the lower lip
If it is too flat or the center is hollow,
it might appear to be lacking in volume.
⑥ Balance between the horizontal length of the lips and the length of the philtrum
These two elements are connected to the facial center ratio,
playing an important role in creating a 'neat impression'.
Thus, 1cc lip filler is not merely about "please make my lips plump",
it requires a delicate design on how to organize the central line of the face.
2. Changes possible with 1cc lip filler?
Although 1cc of lip filler seems like a small amount,
it can be sufficient for detailed lip enhancement.
💋 Clearly organize blurry lip lines
💋 Adding a little volume to the center of the upper lip
creates the effect of a shorter philtrum.
💋 Just raising the corners of the mouth slightly
makes your expression bright and soft.
💋 Overall,
it allows for changes that make the central part of your face more pronounced.
Especially for those who have never received lip fillers before,
1cc is often recommended as 'just the right starting point.'
3. Can it make the philtrum shorter?
"Can lip fillers make
the philtrum shorter?"
This question comes up quite often!
While it does not physically
reduce the length of the philtrum,
it is entirely possible to visually make it appear shorter
by enhancing the shape of the lips.
Remember these three points together.
🔹 Enhancing volume in the center of the upper lip
Giving a little volume to the upper lip makes
it look like the lower part of the philtrum is pulled up visually.
In other words, it results in the philtrum being 'less visible',
which creates a natural shortening effect.
🔹 Clarifying the cupid’s bow
If the cupid’s bow becomes defined and the line is neat,
the outline of the philtrum becomes pronounced,
giving a clearer impression.
🔹 Slightly raising the corners of the mouth
If you design and slightly raise the corners of the mouth,
the gaze is directed upwards, and you can feel
the central part of the face lifted.
💡 For this reason,
improving the philtrum ratio is
considered an important point of lip filler procedures.
Rather than just volume,
lip design that considers ratios and impressions
is gaining more attention.
4. Things to check during lip filler consultation
The lips are directly connected to expressions and speaking,
so pre-consultation is incredibly important!
What are the right lip ratios and volume directions for you?
What are the components, viscosity, retention period of the filler used?
How does design change based on existing treatments or lip structure?
Also, be sure to check for swelling or bruising information and
management methods after the procedure.
5. Frequently Asked Questions about Lip Fillers (FAQ)
Q. Will 1cc of lip filler be noticeable?
A. If the design is done well,
it appears very natural.
Even if just the corners of the mouth or the center of the upper lip is lightly filled,
it can change without being excessive.
Q. Does the philtrum actually feel shorter?
A. Yes! Many people are surprised that the ratio of the philtrum to the lips
looks different when taking photos.
Q. Can I resume my daily activities right after the procedure?
A. Yes, for most people daily activities are possible, and
swelling or bruising usually subsides naturally within a few days.
With just 1cc of lip filler, you can feel the change of a shorter philtrum,
with the center of the face becoming more pronounced.
Not excessively, but naturally.
If you want to find lips that suit your face,
it is crucial to look at ratios and
lines before considering volume.
If you are considering lip fillers,
start with a comfortable consultation :)
