Attractive Lips (Lip & Lip Corner Filler)
Discover how lip and lip corner fillers can enhance your facial aesthetics, creating a subtle, attractive smile. Learn about the Korean preference for natural-looking, voluminous lips and the importance of choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon for safe and effective results.
Along with the eyes and nose, the lips play a crucial role in completing an attractive face.
As a preference for more Western facial features gradually increases, many now desire plump, voluminous lips, which were once thought to only suit Western women. (Of course, the thickness of Western women's lips can be a bit much for some.)
After consulting with and treating many individuals,
it seems Korean women prefer ‘a slight volume’ (a plump, but not excessive, feeling) and ‘a slightly upturned lip corner that gives a smiling impression,’ creating a favorable look. While lip surgery can certainly yield satisfactory results, I generally do not recommend it due to the scars around the mouth and the artificial feel. (This is my personal opinion.)
You can achieve attractive lips with a relatively simple procedure.
However, ‘simple’ does not mean there are no side effects or complications, so I strongly recommend ensuring that the practitioner is a board-certified plastic surgeon before undergoing the procedure. :)
For consultations and procedures, see a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
What lip shape do Korean women prefer?
Korean women tend to prefer a likable lip shape with a subtle, not overly exaggerated, volume and slightly upturned corners, as if smiling. This pursues natural charm rather than Western-style thickness.
Which procedure is more recommended: lip surgery or lip filler?
Lip filler procedures are more recommended than lip surgery, as surgery can leave scars around the mouth or create an artificial look. Fillers can relatively simply improve natural volume and shape.
Can lip asymmetry also be corrected with fillers?
Yes, lip asymmetry can be corrected with filler treatment. Even in cases where overall volume is lacking, such as a thin upper lip, volume can be added to the entire lip to achieve balance.
What should I be aware of when getting lip filler treatment?
Although lip filler is a relatively simple procedure, side effects and complications can occur. Therefore, it is crucial to receive the procedure from a plastic surgeon with extensive clinical experience.
What should I do if I want additional volume after a lip filler procedure?
If you desire a bit more volume even after one treatment, a second treatment can be performed. It is best to consult sufficiently with medical staff to adjust the desired volume.
