Hongdae Dermatology Lorient Lip Filler Record from Day 1 to Day 7
It seems like the lip fillers I got 5 years ago have all worn off, so every time I look in the mirror, I keep worrying about the asymmetry and lack of volume.
![]()
I wondered if my lips were always this thin, and once they started catching my eye, they kept bothering me, so I eventually made an appointment at a dermatology clinic near Hongik University Station and went there.
It is located less than a minute from the station, so even though the weather was extremely hot, I arrived quickly.
The waiting room was crowded, with foreigners making up more than half of the crowd, but perhaps because it is by reservation only, I didn't have to wait long for the facial cleansing instructions.
The washing room was equipped with things like hair dryers and hair straighteners, so it seemed like a good place to go to an appointment after the procedure.
I took a picture of my skin condition after washing my face, and I was a bit surprised to see that the redness was worse than I expected, and the sagging pores and nasolabial folds appeared deep in 3D.
Actually, I didn't know I had facial flushing, but I was told that the redness my face usually got after washing it was all due to that.
I came to get my lips done, but ended up getting my skin condition checked by accident.
Before the procedure, I showed the director a photo of the lip design I wanted.
They explained that they use both Lorient Filler No. 2 and No. 4 lines here. They said they use No. 2 to create precise lines and No. 4 to add soft volume, alternating them to provide a customized design.
I applied anesthetic cream and waited, and when the procedure began, they showed me the Lorient filler product in person.
Maybe because it had been five years, my heart was racing and my body was tense and reacting.
Honestly, it wasn't that it didn't hurt at all, but it wasn't as bad as it used to be.
After it was over, they gave me bruise cream and a face mask, but my lips were stinging so I was a bit disoriented.
During the consultation, I was told that Lorient fillers are safe because they have high cohesion and purity, and I liked the fact that they can be customized for each individual.
I brought a design that included lip corner Botox, but it was amazing that the shape turned out almost exactly the same without the Botox.
Progress records
-
Days 1-3: It was a time when I was worried that it might look asymmetrical because there was some swelling and bruising.
-
-
Day 4: Surprisingly, most of the bruise has faded.
-
Days 5-6: As the swelling subsided, it started to settle.
-
Day 7: Now, it has naturally settled in just as the original design was intended.
I think the asymmetry was due to the difference in the speed at which the swelling subsided, but I felt a bit more at ease because they said during the consultation that they would do touch-ups until I was satisfied.
Since the speed at which swelling or bruising subsides can vary from person to person, I think it is necessary to wait and see a little longer.

- 01CommentsGetting Botox is most effective for preventing forehead wrinkles when they are still faint lines that appear when making facial expressions. It can be difficult to improve them once they have settled deeply. If you are concerned about an unnatural look, you may consider Skin Botox, which involves receiving a small, natural-looking injection after consulting with a medical professional. In your daily life, I hope you will try to correct the habit of using your eyebrows to open your eyes, along with proper hydration.291026.10.29
- 02CommentsIf the thickened jawline is due to the development of the masticatory muscles used for chewing, you can see noticeable results with just a single Botox injection. The jawline typically begins to slim down gradually starting 3 to 4 weeks after the procedure. However, if the cause is fat and sagging skin due to age or weight gain, combining it with lifting procedures like contouring injections or InMode will yield much more satisfactory results. I recommend getting your muscle mass thoroughly checked at the clinic first.271026.10.29
- 03CommentsGlabellar Botox temporarily paralyzes muscle movements to prevent wrinkles from deepening, and the effects usually last for about 3 to 6 months. If you find it difficult to correct unconscious facial expression habits, it is wise to seek temporary help before the wrinkles become completely fixed.231026.10.29
- 01CommentsI also became interested in Botox because the wrinkles on my chin become more prominent when I tense up my jaw while smiling or talking. While Botox for a cobblestone jaw can help alleviate the uneven appearance by reducing muscle movement, the effects vary from person to person. Therefore, I recommend consulting thoroughly with experienced medical professionals regarding the dosage to help maintain a natural facial expression.852026.10.24
- 02CommentsIf this is your first time, rather than deciding on a specific area first, I recommend consulting about the overall balance of your face and starting with the parts you really want to improve. Since the risk of fillers varies by area, please make sure to carefully check the medical team's experience, how to handle vascular complications, and even the products and dosage used before making a decision.1146226.10.23
- 03CommentsImmediately after the procedure, the two sides may temporarily look different due to differences in swelling. Usually, the results will look natural after about 1 to 2 weeks once the swelling subsides, so please wait a little while. If the difference is still significant, I recommend consulting with the clinic where you had the procedure done for molding or a touch-up.732026.10.24
- 01CommentsWith lip fillers, even adding just a little volume can change your overall impression, so I think the design is really important. You described the process in detail, including how the filler settles naturally as the swelling subsides, which will be very helpful for those considering the procedure. It really seems important to match the filler to your original lip shape and facial proportions without looking excessive.4264326.10.20
- 02CommentsI totally relate to yours, as my biggest worry before getting Botox was that my facial expression would look unnatural or stiff! I definitely think the most satisfying results come from just naturally smoothing out wrinkles without being too ambitious. Just not having foundation settle between my eyebrows is truly a small but significant improvement in my quality of life. 👍 Thanks for the thoughtful review!4778426.10.06
- 03CommentsAfter receiving trapezius Botox, you may experience stiffness for about the first week due to muscle weakness. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid upper body strength training or carrying heavy bags immediately after the procedure. Once your body adapts over time, there will be no major issues with your daily life, so please take a rest for the time being. I hope your questions have been answered.601026.09.30
