My friend recently had Dermal Fillers at BION Plastic Surgery in Seoul and overall her experience was pretty positive.
One thing that stood out to her was how much emphasis they placed on understanding what she actually wanted before deciding where and how much filler would be appropriate. She was mainly looking for a subtle improvement and wanted her face to look a little more balanced without making the change obvious. During the consultation Dr Hwang Gwi hwan discussed her facial proportions and explained what could realistically suit her features rather than simply suggesting more volume.
The treatment itself was much easier than she expected. She was a little nervous beforehand because she had never had dermal fillers before and was worried about looking swollen or overfilled afterward. The actual procedure was relatively quick and there was some discomfort in certain areas but she said it was manageable. What helped most was being able to discuss her concerns before the treatment and knowing that the goal was a natural looking result.
The first few days were probably the part she paid the most attention to. There was some swelling and she kept checking her face in the mirror because she was curious about how the final result would look. She quickly realized that the appearance immediately after fillers is not necessarily the final result and that it is better to give the treated area some time to settle before judging it.
Another thing she appreciated was how organized the overall experience felt. The consultation and treatment were handled in a straightforward way and she felt comfortable asking questions throughout the process. Since she travelled to Seoul for the treatment she also realized that things like accommodation transportation communication and having enough time afterward can be worth planning in advance even for a non surgical procedure.
From what I saw after the swelling settled her face looked slightly more balanced and refreshed without looking obviously treated. She was particularly happy that the result did not make her features look exaggerated. The improvement was subtle enough that she still looked like herself which was exactly what she had hoped for when she first started researching dermal fillers.
Her experience also made me realize that the final result with dermal fillers can depend a lot on individual facial structure and the amount and placement of filler used. For anyone researching the treatment I think it is important to focus on the consultation and the injector or surgeon’s approach rather than simply choosing a clinic based on before and after photos.
Has anyone else here had Dermal Fillers in South Korea? I would be interested in hearing how your consultation went and whether you were happy with how natural the final result looked.
