The clinic was very professional from start to finish. Doctor Jung was excellent and gentle with the treatment. I felt well looked after and everyone was outstanding. Happy with my service!

A mouth reads as treated when volume arrives without a ratio behind it. Dear Clinic plans lips to 0.1 cc off a 3D reading, builds them in two layers, and stops at the point your own proportions support.
What gives a treated mouth away is almost never the brand on the carton. It is a lip that has been filled without being designed: a flat projection where the cupid's bow should peak, an upper lip carrying more than the lower can balance, product sitting in one pocket instead of spread through the tissue, or an outline that has lost its edge because everything under it was pushed outward at once.
The clinic's own lip material puts it plainly: balance matters more than fullness, down to a difference of 0.1 cc. That is the sentence this page exists to explain.
Lips are not one volume. Muscle movement, tissue grain, mucosal thickness and the angle into the philtrum are connected, and a plan has to respect all four.
| What is measured | What it controls | What goes wrong when it is ignored |
|---|---|---|
| Upper to lower ratio | How the mouth sits in the lower third of the face at rest and while speaking | An upper lip built past what the lower can answer, which the eye reads instantly as treatment |
| Outline definition | The crispness of the vermillion border and the peaks of the cupid's bow | A blurred edge padded from underneath, so the mouth gains size and loses shape |
| Corner angle | Whether the commissures turn up, sit level or draw down at rest | Volume added centrally while the corners stay down, which exaggerates the droop |
| Mucosal thickness and movement | How much material the tissue can carry before it bulges, and how the shape behaves in speech | Gel placed in a plane the tissue cannot hide, producing a visible step or a lump |
All four are read on the EVE Muse 3D unit under five light sources before a family is chosen, and the published facial-assessment literature at the foot of this page exists for the same reason: injection guidance begins with measuring a face before any syringe is opened.
Faces are asymmetrical before anyone injects them. A plan that divides evenly is a plan that has stopped looking at your face, so each zone of the mouth gets its own figure and the totals rarely match. That is also why the quote is written per cubic centimetre: you are charged for what your design actually needed.
The second half of the precision question is where the gel goes. A two-layer molding structure — a base layer establishing the contour and a fine second layer correcting the border and any asymmetry — is the clinic's signature lip technique, and distributed injection across tissue layers is specifically what stops product from collecting at one point and bulging.
Filler position is adjusted within the lip so the peaks of the bow, the corners and the flow of thickness are organised before volume is considered. The design brief is written here: what your mouth is short of, in which specific zone, and by how much.
The first layer settles the contour and the second, finer layer addresses the outline and any asymmetry. Two layers instead of a single deposit keep the surface smooth, and it is the structural reason a design can gain definition without gaining bulk.
Injection is matched to the tissue layer and spread across the zone so a single spot cannot become convex while its neighbour stays flat. Balance is checked between the halves of the mouth after every pass, and the last tenths go wherever the comparison says they are missing.
Lip length, the angle of the corners and the centre line are verified against the rest of the face, and the upper-to-lower balance is confirmed in speech as well as at rest. A mouth that only works closed has not finished being designed.
A patented multi-density process leaves very few nodules and lets the gel sit across tissue densities, with four lines to match skin type and placement. On a border that has to stay soft under the eye's inspection, integration is the property being chosen.
Juvederm uses patented Vycross cross-linking with particle size adjusted to the area, and arrives with lidocaine in the syringe. Restylane was the first hyaluronic acid filler on the market, developed in Sweden in 1996 and certified by the FDA and CE.
The house family holds moisture balance and tissue elasticity and is described in the clinic's own material as giving little foreign-body sensation. It is the Korean option for lip work, quoted at the house specialty-area rate.
Published rheology research exists precisely because these products are not interchangeable: firmness, cohesivity and behaviour under load differ measurably between hyaluronic acid fillers. Matching those properties to your design is a clinical decision made from your reading, and every injection is performed by your director.
Look at the border and the upper-to-lower balance in these, and not at how much bigger the mouth became.

Published rates are identical for residents and for visiting patients, and the figure for your design is agreed before a syringe is opened. The dermal filler hub lists every area and family, the lip filler page carries the full treatment detail, and the transparent price list covers the rest of the clinic.

I've visited clinic for LDM procedure. I don't speak Korean, so there was an interpreter who assisted me while consulting. The staff was very attentive, they asked me every time before applying products/covering my face during the procedure and it went smoothly. Planning to visit the clini…
All the staff are kind, the doctor is professional. They recommended us the treatment that fit us best and last the longest. A very nice experience overall.
I did a hydrofacial, white/black head removal, and 1 day lasers. Really kind staff and reasonable prices. The only thing I would advise is that your first consultation is with a salesperson and you don’t see the doctor until after you decide what you want and after you pay.
Had a great experience here as a foreigner! The doctors and staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and not pushy. They made recommendations in my consultation and were happy to work within my budget.
Send a photograph and tell us what the mouth should do — answered in English as soon as possible.
The case for designing a mouth before filling it is made in the published literature as well as in this clinic. The papers below cover facial assessment and injection guidance, the measurable physicochemical differences between hyaluronic acid products, the anatomical danger zones that constrain where a gel may go, and the enzyme that reverses hyaluronic acid when a design has to be revised.
