What kind of volume problem can dermal filler improve?
Dermal filler is a procedure that supplements the insufficient volume and facial contour by adding injection materials such as hyaluronic acid to the off or dented area. It can be applied to the structure of each area, such as the forehead, template, lips, cheeks and chin, but skin sagging or muscle movement does not solve all of the major problems.
It has the advantage of being able to check the shape immediately after the procedure, but the effect and risk vary depending on the product, injection site and depth.
When looking for a dermal filler in Busan, it is necessary to check not only how many cc, but also which product is injected into which layer and why, and the vascular structure and emergency response plan of the area.
In what cases can dermal filler be considered?
It can be considered if the forehead, timple, and cheeks look off, or if you want to limit the shape of the lips, chin, and contours around the nose. If your skin is very sagging or muscle movement is the main cause, you should compare other methods such as lifting or Botox.

What are the criteria for choosing dermal filler and Botox?
The dermal filler fills the missing volume and makes up for the shape, and Botox reduces muscle movement to control facial wrinkles or muscular contours. Even if it's the same wrinkle, the choice varies depending on whether it's off or moving.

Recovery Guide
We will guide you on how to avoid pressure and how to respond if abnormal symptoms occur.
When does the effect appear and how long does it last?
The dermal filler can check the volume and shape immediately after injection, but there is an initial swelling, which may differ from the final appearance. According to the hospital's guidance, the maintenance period is about 6 months to 1 year, and it depends on the product, site, movement, and metabolism.
Absorbent dermal filler can shrink over time, so if necessary, we will review additional procedures after watching the progress. It is not a procedure that guarantees excessive volume or shape like the desired photo.
What should I know about pain, recovery, and side effects?
The treatment time is about 10 to 20 minutes, and the recovery period is within 1 week as instructed by the hospital. Swelling, bruising, pain, redness, and pressure pain may appear.
Initial management
Avoid high-temperature environments and radical exercise during the guided period without pressing hard or rubbing the injection site.
Common reaction
Bruise, swelling, pain, pain, itching, and temporary left-right differences may appear.
Rare but important risk
Tissue necrosis and vision abnormalities may occur due to infection, nodule, skin damage, and intravascular injection.
