Lip Fillers in Seongsu-yeok and Ttukseom-yeok: The Detail That Makes the Difference

A 1mm difference that

defines your facial vibe,

why lip fillers are 'dramatic'

Hello,

this is Sio Clinic, your go-to for lip fillers in Seongsu-yeok and Ttukseom-yeok.

​

When looking in the mirror or facing others, where does our gaze linger the longest? It is the eyes and the lips.

While areas like the forehead, nose, and chin are 'static structures' that remain fixed when making expressions, the eyes and mouth are 'dynamic structures' that move constantly when we speak or smile.

​

As the place where expressions begin and end, the lips are the area that most dramatically changes the overall impression and vibe of the face with just a tiny change in volume and line.

Today, I would like to talk about the essence of lip fillers as Sio Clinic sees it, and why we insist on 'retouches' and 'honesty.'

1. Aging makes the lips recede inward.

​

As we age, lips don't just get thinner. As skin elasticity decreases, the philtrum lengthens, and the muscles supporting the lips relax, causing the lips to curl inward.

​

At the same time, the once-defined lip line becomes blurred.

​

Thin, curled-in lips can give off a cold or petty impression. Lip fillers after middle age should be approached not just as a beauty treatment, but as a 'restoration' to regain a vibrant and gentle impression.

​

2. Why does Sio Clinic consider 'retouches' essential?

Many people ask, "Can't you just finish it all in one go?" However, Sio Clinic views retouches as an essential process due to differences in 'swelling' and 'tissue texture.'

​

① The tissue texture inside the lips differs from left to right.

​

A person's face is not a decal. Even on the same pair of lips, the tissue density and the resistance felt when the needle enters differ slightly between the left and right sides.

​

The amount and frequency of filler injected must vary according to this resistance. Mechanically injecting the same amount on both sides is meaningless.

​

② You can only see the 'true shape' once the swelling subsides.

​

To capture detailed shapes, the number of injections inevitably increases, which naturally leads to swelling. The appearance immediately after the procedure includes this swelling.

​

Only after about a week, when the swelling has gone down and the tissue has stabilized, can the true asymmetry and lack of volume be seen. Fine-tuning at this stage creates a much more complete and natural result.

​

Establishing the overall balance in the first session and perfecting the details during the retouch—this is the core of the natural look Sio Clinic strives for.

3. Saying "This won't work" is more important than saying "I'll do it exactly like that"

​

Lip fillers are ultimately a matter of 'aesthetic sense.'

However, aesthetic sense is subjective. The best results come when the patient's and the doctor's aesthetic senses align.

​

Sometimes, when a patient brings a photo of the lips they want, promising to "do it exactly the same" can actually be irresponsible.

​

Structural limitations: The original width of the lips, the degree of asymmetry, and the length of the philtrum.

Overall harmony: The shape of the chin, marionette lines, buccal fat lines, and whether the mouth is protruded.

​

In particular, if the mouth is structurally protruded, we do not recommend fillers as they can make the mouth appear even more prominent.

Sio Clinic does not just look at the lips.

​

We consider the harmony with the chin, philtrum, and cheek lines within the entire frame of the face. Clearly explaining what is possible and what is not, and proposing predictable results.

​

That is what Sio Clinic considers 'custom design.'

​

4. Moderation, the aesthetics of naturalness

While 1cc is usually the standard volume, what is more important than the volume is 'as much as needed within the balance of the entire face.'

​

If the lip border is blurred, we emphasize the line; if drooping corners are a concern, we use corner fillers; if asymmetry correction is needed, we combine lip flips with fillers.

Rather than creating an artificial shape with excessive volume, we design the vibe that best suits your face.
