What can dermal fillers do for your face?
Dermal fillers are gel-like injectables placed beneath the skin to replace volume that has been lost, support areas that look hollow or flat, and gently shape features such as the nose, chin or lips. As we age, fat pads shift, bone slowly remodels and skin loses some of its support, which can make the face look tired even when you feel well.
At Live Young Clinic in Apgujeong, Gangnam, filler is used as a structural tool, not a way to inflate the face. The goal is to rebuild the framework your face already has so light falls on it the way it did before, and so expressions still move naturally.
- Restoring volume in hollow areas such as temples or under the eyes
- Softening deep folds and shadowed lines
- Refining profile features like the nose and chin
- Balancing proportions across the whole face
Which areas can be treated with filler?
Filler can be used in many parts of the face, and each area has its own anatomy, depth and risk profile. Below are the areas we cover in detail on our site. During consultation in Apgujeong, Dr. Song will explain which areas genuinely matter for your concern and which ones are better left alone.
- Upper face: forehead, forehead depressions, temples, upper eyelid hollows
- Eye area: under-eye hollows and aegyo sal
- Mid-face: nose, cheeks, apple cheeks, lower cheeks, nasolabial folds
- Lower face: lips, philtrum, mouth corners, marionette lines, chin, jawline, pre-jowl
- Other: earlobes and full-face contouring
How does Dr. Song design a filler treatment?
Every plan follows the clinic's three-step process. In Needs Mapping, Dr. Song studies your bone structure, skin thickness and expression muscles, looking at your face both at rest and while you smile, because volume that looks right in a still photo can look heavy in motion. In the Curated Plan, she designs which areas to treat, in what order and at what depth.
Tailored Treatment means Dr. Song performs the injections herself. The same precision the clinic applies to every 0.1 unit of Botox carries over to filler: small, deliberate amounts placed where your anatomy needs support, with the plan considering how your face is likely to age over the next ten years.
Can filler be combined with Botox, lifting or skin boosters?
Often, yes. Filler restores volume, but it does not tighten loose skin, relax overactive muscles or improve skin quality. Depending on your face, Dr. Song may suggest pairing filler with Botox for expression lines, a lifting device such as Ultherapy Prime or Thermage FLX for laxity, or a skin booster for texture and hydration. Face contouring at Live Young Clinic is designed as a whole, so each treatment supports the others instead of competing with them.
Safety, side effects and aftercare
Like any injection, filler can cause temporary swelling, redness, tenderness or bruising, and these typically settle as the skin recovers, although the timeline varies by person. Less commonly, more serious complications can occur, including problems related to blood vessels, which is why careful anatomical knowledge and an experienced doctor matter. The clinic uses only genuine FDA- and CE-approved products.
After treatment, it is generally advised to avoid pressing or massaging the area unless instructed, and to skip saunas, intense exercise and alcohol for a short period. Dr. Song will give you aftercare instructions suited to the specific area treated, and the clinic can answer follow-up questions by message.
Why choose an English-speaking, doctor-led clinic in Apgujeong, Gangnam?
Apgujeong in Gangnam is home to many aesthetic clinics, and some work at high volume with rotating staff. Live Young Clinic deliberately does the opposite: consultations happen one-to-one with Dr. Song in a private room, and she performs your treatment herself. Having passed USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CS, she can explain anatomy, options and risks clearly in English, so you understand exactly what is planned before a single injection. You can also message the clinic on WhatsApp before you arrive in Seoul.
Frequently asked questions
How long do dermal fillers last?
Longevity depends on the filler type, the area treated, your metabolism and lifestyle. Areas that move a lot, such as the lips, may change sooner than more static areas. Dr. Song will explain what is realistic for your chosen area during your consultation in Apgujeong.
Will filler make my face look overdone?
Not when it is planned conservatively. Dr. Song assesses your face at rest and when smiling and suggests only the changes you need. The clinic's philosophy is to bring out the structure you already have, rather than to create a new face.
Can I get filler during a short trip to Seoul?
Many visitors do, because filler usually involves limited downtime. Still, swelling or bruising is possible, so it helps to allow a few days before flights or important events. Message the clinic on WhatsApp to plan timing around your itinerary in Gangnam.
Is filler treatment uncomfortable?
Most people describe a pinching or pressure sensation. Numbing cream may be applied, and comfort measures are discussed at consultation. Sensitivity varies by area and by person, so Dr. Song will tell you what to expect for your specific treatment.
Who performs the filler injections?
Dr. Song Ki-seon, the Chief Director of Live Young Clinic, performs the injections herself. She has over ten years of clinical experience and is a member of the Korean Society of Fillers.
