Contouring as a single design
Contouring at Live Young Clinic is approached as one design rather than a list of separate injections. A face can look wider because of a strong jaw muscle, flatter because of a hollow temple, or heavier because of soft tissue under the jaw. Treating only one of these often leaves the overall shape unbalanced.
Dr. Song therefore plans fillers, Botox and laser together, refining areas of excess, filling hollows and considering how light falls across the face or body so the result reads as naturally three-dimensional from every angle, not just from the front in a photograph.
The contouring options at our Apgujeong clinic
Each page in this section focuses on a different goal. The descriptions below help you see how they differ, although the final choice is always made together with the doctor after your assessment. Many people discover that their concern is well addressed by a combination they had not initially considered.
- V-Line Contouring: a slimmer, more tapered lower face using jaw Botox, chin or jawline filler and lifting as needed
- Body Contouring: Botox for areas such as the shoulders or calves, with laser where appropriate
- LY Special Program: a custom combination package designed around one person's priorities
- Autologous Stem Cell Skin Treatment: a program using your own cells, explained in detail only at consultation
How Dr. Song chooses the right approach
Choice begins with Needs Mapping. Dr. Song looks at bone structure, soft tissue, skin thickness and muscle activity, both at rest and in expression. A wide lower face caused by muscle is managed very differently from one caused by fat or a short chin, and this analysis tells her which tools will make a genuine difference.
In the Curated Plan, she decides what to refine, what to fill and what to leave alone, since sometimes the most natural result comes from doing less. Tailored Treatment is then carried out personally, with every unit of Botox and every injection placed by the doctor.
Recovery, aftercare and expectations
Recovery depends on the combination. Botox effects typically appear gradually over several days, fillers show an immediate change with possible temporary swelling or bruising, and laser may cause short-lived redness. Most people continue their plans in Gangnam soon after, though individual responses vary.
General aftercare may include avoiding pressure or massage on filler areas, protecting skin from the sun, and briefly limiting saunas, strenuous exercise and alcohol. Results vary, and Dr. Song will explain what is realistic and whether any follow-up is advisable.
Why visitors choose a doctor-led clinic in Apgujeong
Contouring relies on judgement as much as technique. Dr. Song Ki-seon is a member of the Korean Society of Fillers and the Korean Society for the Study of Obesity, among others, and she speaks English. The clinic rejects high-volume, factory-style treatment and uses only genuine FDA- and CE-approved products. It is located on Apgujeong-ro, near Apgujeong Station on Line 3.
Frequently asked questions
Is non-surgical contouring suitable for everyone?
Many people are suitable, but it depends on bone structure, skin quality, health and goals. Some changes can only be achieved surgically. Dr. Song assesses suitability at consultation in Apgujeong and explains which options are realistic.
Can face and body contouring be done in one visit?
In some cases, yes, particularly when the plan involves Botox. Combining several areas depends on your needs and comfort. The doctor will suggest what can sensibly be done in one visit and what is better spaced out.
How long do contouring results last?
Duration varies with the product used, the area, your metabolism and lifestyle. Botox and fillers are not lasting forever and typically need maintenance over time. Dr. Song will explain what is typical for your plan.
What is the difference between V-line contouring and jaw Botox alone?
Jaw Botox addresses a strong masseter muscle. V-line contouring is broader and may also include chin or jawline filler and lifting to shape the whole lower face. Which is appropriate depends on your anatomy.
