Natural Volume, Shape, and Definition—Tailored to Your Face

Lip augmentation enhances lip volume, contour, and definition while maintaining a soft, natural look. At UE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, our female board-certified surgeon customizes every plan to your anatomy—focusing on proportion, Cupid’s bow definition, and balanced upper–lower symmetry without an “overfilled” appearance.

Why Patients Choose Lip Augmentation

• Subtle volume for a youthful, hydrated look
• Crisper Cupid’s bow and improved border definition
• Correct upper–lower imbalance or side-to-side asymmetry
• Soften perioral fine lines and improve lip roll (eversion)
• Camera-friendly refinement that still looks natural in person

Personalized Planning at UE Plastic Surgery

Your plan considers:

• Lip thickness, red-lip show, and tooth show at rest
• Cupid’s bow, philtrum length, and corner angle
• Smile dynamics (at rest vs. smile) and facial balance
• Skin quality, filler history, and scar-tendency

We map precise landmarks and agree on a conservative, buildable plan.

Techniques We May Use

• Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers: Soft, reversible, and layered for shape control (border, columns, body).
• Micro-Aliquot “Feathering”: Tiny droplets for smooth blending—no lumps or rigid edges.
• Structural Columns & Cupidon Definition: Subtle lift of philtral columns and Cupid’s bow when indicated.
• Fat Grafting (Longer-Lasting Option): Ultra-refined fat for delicate, natural volume (selected cases).
• Adjuncts: Skin boosters or laser for perioral fine lines; tiny corner support for downturned angles.

We avoid over-projection and prioritize soft, flexible lips that move naturally.

Consultation & Preparation

• Photo analysis (front/oblique/smile) and proportion planning
• Review of product options, longevity, and touch-up strategy
• Discussion of realistic outcomes and downtime
• Optional plan for staged, conservative build over 2–3 sessions

What to Expect on Treatment Day

• Anesthesia: Topical numbing; dental block available if sensitive
• Time: ~20–40 minutes
• Approach: Slow, layered placement with cannula and/or fine needle
• After: Gentle cooling, clear aftercare, and follow-up check as needed

Most patients return to normal activities the same day.

Recovery & Aftercare

• Mild swelling or tenderness for 24–72 hours (occasionally up to 1 week)
• Avoid strenuous exercise, heat, alcohol, and salty/spicy foods for 24 hours
• No firm pressure or heavy makeup on lips the first day
• Follow our hydration and lip-care guidance; call for any unusual change

Results You Can Expect

• Hydrated, softly volumized lips with elegant border definition
• Balanced upper–lower proportions and improved lip roll
• Natural movement—no stiffness or “duck lip” look
• HA filler longevity typically 6–12 months (varies by product and metabolism)

Who Is a Good Candidate?

• Desire for subtle, natural lip enhancement
• Good general and skin health with realistic expectations
• Willing to consider staged, conservative build for precision
• Non-smoker (or willing to pause) for optimal healing

Combining Procedures for Best Balance

• Philtrum Shortening (Lip Lift): If philtrum length is elongated
• Lip Corner Lift: To brighten downturned corners
• Perioral Line Care: Skin boosters, RF microneedling, or laser for fine lines
• Chin/Jawline Balancing: For harmony in profile and lower face

Safety, Risks & Revisions

• Temporary swelling, bruising, asymmetry, or small lumps may occur (usually settle or are easily adjusted)
• Rare risks include vascular compromise; our team follows strict safety protocols and has reversal agents on hand for HA fillers
• Touch-ups available to refine shape after settling
