Is cheek filler worth it?
It is worth it when the front cheek has emptied and the mid-face has lost its forward curve, because volume returned deep and lateral lifts the fold and the jaw outline with it. Whether that is your picture is settled by the 3D reading. Where the scan shows laxity instead, a lifting session is quoted and the syringe is declined.
How much does cheek filler cost in Seoul?
At Dear Clinic the anterior cheek is billed at the ordinary per-cc rate, so The Chaeum is ₩130,000 (≈ $95) per 1 cc there, with Belotero, Restylane and Juvederm each priced per cc by brand. The clinic keeps its specialty-area rate for the lips and the temple. A mid-face carries volume, so a full design typically uses more cc than a small feature; your amount and total are planned from the 3D diagnosis and approved before treatment.
Will cheek filler make my face look wide or "pillowed"?
Width comes from gel sitting forward and shallow. The build here runs the other way: the deep share goes over the bone first, laterally, and the superficial share is usually the smallest allowance on the sheet and the last thing placed. Projection is judged in profile before that final layer is added.
Why is the gel placed deep and lateral instead of into the hollow I can see?
Because the hollow is where the volume ended up missing, and not where it has to be replaced. Support set back over the bone behaves like a beam and carries the tissue above the fold; the same cc pushed into the visible hollow behaves like padding. That is the single decision that separates a lifted mid-face from a broadened one.
Can cheek filler help my nasolabial folds?
Often yes, indirectly. As the cheek deflates the fold deepens, so re-supporting the foundation softens the smile line from above instead of packing gel into the groove itself. Whether the cheek, the fold, or both are treated is decided at your diagnosis.
How much filler will my cheeks need?
It follows from how much volume has gone and from your facial proportion, and the figure is written on the consent form before anything is opened. The design is drawn conservatively from your 3D scan: the least volume that produces a lift, split by plane. If two cc turn out to be enough where four were planned, you are billed for two.
Which filler is used for the cheeks?
Hyaluronic acids: The Chaeum, Belotero, Restylane and Juvederm. A mid-face build usually calls for a firmer, well-projecting gel that holds its shape under load, while a softer gel is kept for the surface layer. Your director names the brand after the diagnosis and you approve it before treatment.
How long does cheek filler last?
Hyaluronic acid is broken down gradually and the rate varies with the gel, the volume placed and the person. Dear Clinic does not publish a fixed figure for the mid-face; your director gives you a range for the gel you agreed and re-measures projection at review, when a top-up or a refinement can be planned.
How uncomfortable is it, and how long do I look treated?
Deep placement over the bone registers as heavy pressure rather than sharpness, and with lidocaine in the gel plus numbing cream on top, most people describe it as strange more than sore. The visible part is swelling: fuller cheeks for two or three days that read as a good night's sleep to strangers and as obviously done to you. Small bruises at the entry points, if any, hide easily under makeup.
Can cheek filler be dissolved or removed?
Yes. A mid-face build is hyaluronic acid throughout, and hyaluronidase breaks it down, so the volume can be trimmed back, rebalanced side to side or removed altogether. A large build placed some time ago sometimes takes a second enzyme session, which is decided at an in-person assessment.
Do I have to come twice, or can it be done in one visit?
One visit covers it for most patients: the scan, the design conversation, numbing, then the injection. Where a mid-face needs a larger build, your director may deliberately place part of it now and the rest at review, so the shape can be judged after the swelling has gone. Being open all 365 days makes that second appointment easy to fit around a trip.
Is there a visitor price, and how far ahead should I arrange it?
There is one rate card and it does not change with nationality; won is the currency charged and the dollar column is only a conversion. Because a mid-face looks its most swollen in the first days, book towards the start of your stay, which also leaves room for a review before you fly.
