“When I take selfies, the shadows next to my nose look darker.”

“The lines around my mouth remain even when I'm not smiling.”

“Do you just fill in the wrinkles where they appear?”

Hello.

I am Geum Je-hoon, the representative director of Forever Clinic Suwon Branch.

It's okay when looking in the mirror straight on, but when you turn your head slightly, the lines extending from the sides of your nose to your mouth can appear deep.

At first, you might think wrinkles have formed, but as the shape of your cheeks or the surrounding skin changes, the shadows can appear darker.

Therefore, when considering fillers, it's natural to wonder if you just need to fill the visible lines.

If you are considering a procedure before an important event in Suwon, you might also think about the changes after injection and the recovery process.

When considering fillers in Gwonsun-dong, it is helpful to distinguish between the background causing the lines to form and the areas that actually need volume enhancement.

Why do the lines next to the nose look deeper?

Nasolabial folds around the mouth are influenced by various factors, including the original facial structure, expressions, and cheek volume.

Sometimes the lines become more prominent as the cheeks move when smiling, and other times the folded marks remain even when the expression is relaxed.

Also, if the volume in the front of the cheeks decreases, shadows can form next to the nose, making the lines appear deeper.

It is necessary to distinguish between cases where wrinkles have formed on the skin surface and shadows caused by changes in surrounding volume.

Even with lines of the same depth, the degree to which they are noticeable from the front and side can differ, so it is best not to judge from one direction only.

When considering fillers in Gwonsun-dong, the starting point is to examine which areas actually appear sunken, rather than just the length of the wrinkles.

What role do fillers play in the skin?

Fillers are used to supplement sunken areas or contours by injecting them into areas that need volume.

Hyaluronic acid fillers, commonly used, are injected under the skin in a gel form, and their characteristics vary depending on the product and the injection site.

Even if the lines around the mouth are bothersome, it is not always necessary to consider only injecting along the lines where the wrinkles are formed.

Considering the volume of the surrounding cheeks and the direction in which the skin folds can help determine which areas to improve.

On the other hand, for folds created by significant skin sagging, it may be difficult to achieve the desired results with volume enhancement alone.

When considering fillers in Gwonsun-dong, it is important to distinguish between the purpose of supplementing volume and the purpose of managing skin sagging.

How is the amount to be filled determined?

The area around the mouth moves frequently when talking and smiling, so the amount is not determined based solely on the appearance when at rest.

Rather than adding a large amount from the start, it is more natural to plan the necessary amount while checking the current volume and facial balance.

Especially, even if the lines on both sides look slightly different, injecting the same amount on both sides is not always appropriate.

Before injection, the following can be checked together:

· Appearance of the mouth area when smiling and at rest

· Difference in volume between the mid-cheek and the sides of the nose

· Areas and timing of previous filler injections

· Current inflammation or irritation on the skin

The injection area for fillers in Gwonsun-dong is determined based on these factors, and if there is a history of previous procedures, the condition of the remaining filler is also considered.

Is the immediate appearance the final result?

While the shape may appear slightly different immediately after filler injection, it may feel fuller than the actual volume due to initial swelling.

Redness or small bruises may occur at the injection site, so if you have an important event coming up, it is advisable to consider recovery time.

During this period, it is helpful not to press or massage the treated area forcefully and to follow the aftercare instructions provided by the medical staff.

After the swelling subsides, checking the facial movements and balance will allow for a more careful assessment of whether additional management is needed.

Rarely, complications such as blood vessel blockage can occur. If severe pain, paleness or blotchiness of the skin, or visual disturbances occur, immediate medical evaluation is necessary.

After filler injections in Gwonsun-dong, it is important to distinguish between temporary injection marks and unexpected severe symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Do fillers disappear over time?

A. Hyaluronic acid fillers gradually break down over time, but the duration of effect varies depending on the product and the area.

Q. Do I always need to dissolve previous fillers?

A. The necessity is determined after checking the type, location, and remaining amount of existing fillers.

Q. Is the procedure painful?

A. You may feel a stinging sensation or pressure during the injection, and it varies depending on individual sensitivity.

Q. Can I receive other skin treatments concurrently?

If you are concerned about the lines around your mouth, you don't need to think only about filling the lines directly.

By examining the differences in cheek shape and facial expressions, you can better understand which areas need volume enhancement.

When considering a natural appearance, the overall balance of the face is a more important criterion than the depth of a single wrinkle.
