Lip filler at a glance

What does lip filler cost in Gangnam, and how long does it last?

The short answer

Lip filler at Rewind is hyaluronic acid gel priced by the 1cc syringe, so the cost of a lip treatment is the listed rate for the chosen gel multiplied by the number of syringes the doctor agrees with you before anything is opened. On duration, the clinic publishes six to twelve months for its hyaluronic acid filler, depending on the product and the person. Lips are one of the most mobile parts of the face, and mobile areas generally sit nearer the shorter end of any filler range.

Figures on this page come from Rewind's own Korean filler material and its published price list. Nothing here is an average collected from advertising, and the rates themselves are printed in the pricing section further down.

Three numbers decide what you pay and what you get: the gel, the volume, and how many months your own lips hold it. The first two are settled in the room. The third is the one nobody can fix in advance, and most of this page explains why.

Swelling is the other question people raise before booking, usually because a flight or a photograph is close. Lips swell more visibly than a cheek or a chin after the same injection, and the shape you see on the evening of the appointment is larger than the shape you will keep.

Zones

Lip anatomy

Where lip filler can be placed, zone by zone

A lip is several small structures, and each responds to gel differently. Asking for fuller lips tells the doctor very little; pointing to the zone that bothers you tells them almost everything. Rewind's own filler menu lists the lips as an area of their own, separate from the folds and the chin, and the plan for them is written as its own line.

zone 01
Vermilion border
The fine edge where red lip meets skin. A small amount traced along it sharpens definition without much bulk, and it is also where over-correction shows first, as a shelf above the lip.
zone 02
Cupid's bow & philtral columns
The two peaks of the upper lip and the ridges running up toward the nose. Structure here reads as youth in profile, and the quantities involved are tiny.
zone 03
Body of the lip
The soft part that carries volume. Gel here adds pout and projection, and this is the zone that swells most in the first days.
zone 04
Mouth corners
Corners turn down as support is lost with age. A little support at each corner changes the resting expression more than extra volume in the centre can.
Plan

Gel, volume and depth

How a lip filler plan is built

Hyaluronic acid products differ in how firm they are and how far they spread once placed. A lip needs a gel that moves with speech and eating without being felt as a lump, a very different demand from a chin that has to hold projection over bone.

01Choose

Lip filler gel: soft enough to move

Rewind's list carries a domestic gel and two imported ones. For lips the choice leans toward the softer, more flexible end, and a request for a particular product is weighed against that need. Published work on cohesive gels made for fine lines is one example of how formulations are matched to thin, mobile tissue.

02Measure

Lip filler volume is agreed in cc before opening

The unit of product and of price is the 1cc syringe. The doctor tells you how many syringes will be used and which zone each is for before a box is opened. A first plan kept within one syringe is a conservative place to start: more can be added at review, while taking gel away means a separate appointment.

03Place

The labial arteries set the rules

An artery runs along each lip, deep to the muscle and closer to the inner, wet side. Gel is kept in the planes above it and injected slowly, a little at a time. Laboratory measurements of the force a needle or a cannula needs to pierce an arterial wall are part of the evidence behind choosing between the two.

04Review

The lip shape is judged after the swelling

Because lips swell more than most areas, the result is assessed only once the swelling has gone. Any adjustment is planned then, with the same doctor comparing the same photographs.

Why here

Why have lip filler placed by a plastic surgeon?

Lips are small, sensitive and always on show. The work is fine-grained, and the most useful judgement a doctor makes about them is often how little to add.

01Proportion

Lip filler is planned against the whole lower face

Dr. Choi looks at the lips in relation to the nose, the chin and the teeth, at rest and while you talk. A lip that suits a long chin can look heavy above a short one, and the plan follows what your face can carry.

02Restraint

A smaller first lip treatment is a legitimate result

Overfilled lips drift upward over the border and flatten their natural curves. Starting smaller and reviewing is how that is avoided, and it also costs less on the day.

03Follow-up

Early lumps are checked by the injecting doctor

Firm spots and uneven swelling are common in the first days and usually settle. Having the doctor who placed the gel examine them is how a normal reaction is told apart from one that needs attention.

Visits are booked ahead. You are examined first, photographs are taken, and the zones and the number of syringes are agreed and written down. Ask to see the product box and its seal before it is opened, and ask how many cc the syringe holds. The clinic's material gives neither a numbing method nor a treatment length for lip injection, so neither is stated here; raise both when you book if they matter to you.

Mention at this point whether you have ever had a cold sore. Injection around the mouth can bring one back in people who carry the virus, and that changes how the appointment is timed.

Lip filler cases at Rewind

Rewind has not yet released lip filler photographs of its own patients, so the frames below are empty and labelled as such. Stock images and illustrations are not used to fill the gap. These frames will carry Rewind lip cases only, once the clinic releases them.

Cost

Pricing

Lip filler price per cc in Gangnam, Seoul

The published list prices hyaluronic acid by the 1cc syringe, and a lip quote is that rate times the number of syringes. No separate lip fee sits on top of the gel. The only other listed item that can touch a lip plan is dissolving, charged per area, for gel you later want reduced.

Domestic HA filler, 1ccChaeum, the clinic's domestic gel
₩200,000
Imported HA filler, 1ccRestylane
₩500,000
Imported HA filler, 1ccJuvederm
₩500,000
Filler dissolving, per areaHyaluronidase, if lip volume needs to come down
₩80,000

List prices, VAT excluded; where an anaesthetic fee applies, it is already inside the listed figure. The syringe rate does not change with the zone: a syringe traced along the border costs what a syringe placed in the body of the lip costs. How a part-used syringe is handled is explained at consultation.

Suitability

Who lip filler suits, and when it is the wrong tool

Lip filler usually suits

  • Lips that have thinned with age, where the border has flattened and the corners have begun to turn down
  • Naturally thin lips, where a modest and proportionate increase is the goal
  • A mild difference between the two sides that a small amount of gel can balance
  • Someone who wants to try a fuller shape before deciding on more

Raised with the doctor before any syringe is opened

  • An active cold sore, broken skin or infection around the mouth: the appointment is moved
  • Lips already large for the face, or a request built on a photograph of someone else
  • Old lip filler of unknown type, above all anything that may not be hyaluronic acid
  • Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or a previous reaction to an injection
After

Aftercare

How swollen will lips be after filler, day by day?

Two pieces of Rewind guidance apply. The filler page describes mild swelling or bruising that settles within a few days; the written sheet the clinic gives out after filler allows one to two weeks for bruising and swelling to improve fully. Lips tend to follow the longer of the two.

First evening
The largest they will look
Swelling peaks early, and the lips can feel tight and look uneven. This is the version of the result not to judge. A cold compress helps.
Days 2 to 3
No alcohol, no smoking
The clinic's sheet keeps alcohol and smoking out for two to three days, together with massage, sauna and any firm pressure on the lips.
Weeks 1 to 2
Bruising fades, shape emerges
Bruising and swelling improve over one to two weeks. Small firm spots usually soften as the gel settles into the tissue.
Months 6 to 12
Gradual softening
Six to twelve months is the published duration. Lips generally lose definition sooner than slower-moving areas, and the timing of any top-up is decided at review.

Contact the clinic at once for pain that keeps increasing, skin on or around the lip that turns pale, dusky or mottled, or any change in vision: these point to a vascular problem, the complication that makes lip injection a medical procedure. Lumps, asymmetry, prolonged swelling, a cold sore flare and gel that migrates above the border are the more common complaints, and each is a reason to come back early.

Questions

Lip filler at Rewind: eight questions before you book

What is the price of lip filler per cc at Rewind?
Each 1cc syringe is charged at the listed rate for the gel chosen. The domestic gel carries the lower rate and the two imported gels share a higher one, and all three are printed in the pricing section above. VAT is added, and your total is the rate multiplied by the syringes agreed before opening.
How long does lip filler last compared with a chin or cheek?
Rewind's published range for its hyaluronic acid filler is six to twelve months. Lips move each time you speak, eat or smile, and constant movement generally shortens how long gel holds, so lips tend to sit nearer the early end while a chin placed against bone tends to keep its shape longer.
How swollen will my lips be for the first few days?
Noticeably, on the first evening. Lips swell more than most treated areas and can look uneven for a day or two. The clinic's written aftercare sheet gives one to two weeks for bruising and swelling to improve, so the shape is judged only after that, and not in the mirror that night.
How many syringes does a first lip treatment use?
That depends on your starting size, the zones chosen and the change you want, and the doctor names the figure before anything is opened. Keeping a first treatment within one syringe keeps the change in proportion; more can be added at a review once the swelling has gone down.
Why do overfilled lips look unnatural?
Gel pushed past what a lip can carry spreads upward over the border, blurs the Cupid's bow and forms a shelf above the upper lip. Modest volume and precise placement prevent it. Where migration has already happened, hyaluronic acid can be broken down with hyaluronidase before any new plan is made.
Does lip filler hurt?
The lips are among the more sensitive places to inject. Rewind does not publish a fixed numbing method for this treatment, so ask at booking what will be used and how discomfort is managed. Sensation differs from person to person, and the doctor explains the comfort measures before starting.
I get cold sores. Can I still have lip filler?
Tell the doctor before the appointment. Injection around the mouth can trigger a cold sore in people who carry the virus, and treatment is postponed while one is active. The timing and any precautions are decided after the doctor has heard your history.
When should I schedule lip filler before flying home?
Early in your stay. Swelling is most obvious in the first days and bruising can take up to two weeks to clear, so an appointment near the start of a trip leaves room for a review in Seoul. Keep alcohol, smoking and pressure off the lips during the first two to three days.

Scientific evidence

Research on hyaluronic acid in thin, mobile tissue

The three papers listed concern the molecule itself, a cohesive gel formulated for fine lines, and the mechanics of needles and cannulas meeting an arterial wall. They describe lip and facial filler in general terms. None was carried out at Rewind Plastic Surgery, and none can tell you how your own lips will respond to a given volume.
