- The same individual appears in both the before and after photos.
- The dates when the photos were taken before and after treatment are specified.

This post provides various medical information, including possible side effects that may occur from the procedure. In accordance with Article 56, Paragraph 2, Subparagraph 7 of the Medical Service Act, diagnoses and treatment results may vary depending on the individual, and both effects and side effects may differ from person to person.

I previously shared with you the incredibly happy and joyful news—
the great honor for my family—that I received an academic award from the Dermatological Association for my work with lip fillers.

The effects of any procedure may vary, and it is important to have thorough consultation beforehand regarding possible side effects (such as pigmentation, bruising, or swelling).
Because of this, people come across our articles in many different ways—
from a wide range of lip cases to those who have had previous unsuccessful lip filler experiences.
This time, the person we met was a man in his 40s.
Before lip filler procedure for a man in his 40s.
You can probably tell just from the photo—
he gives off a very rugged, “manly” vibe…!!
He has a handsome face…!!
But his upper lip is very thin and curled inward,
which he said had been a lifelong concern.
Also, if you look closely at the photo,
his left upper lip is slightly thinner than the right.
He wanted correction for this asymmetry as well.
When viewed from the side,
it’s generally considered attractive if the upper lip is slightly away from or gently touching the line between the nose and chin.
However, if the upper lip curls in too much,
it can sometimes make the jaw look protruding or create the appearance of malocclusion.
In this case, a simple 1 cc filler can resolve it in just one day.
It isn’t very painful either~

When it comes to lip fillers for men,
the most important point is:
absolutely do not make the lips overly feminine or give them excessive volume.
When performing lip filler procedures,
we mainly use a soft type of filler that feels smooth during injection and is easy to mold.
The advantage of this type is that it creates very hydrated, plump, “youthful” lips, almost like they’re glistening with moisture.
However, for older patients or men,
this type can result in lips that look extremely unnatural and uncomfortable.
Therefore, for natural-looking slight over-lip enhancement,
it’s crucial to use the right type of filler and have proper design—knowing exactly where to add volume and where not to.
Before deciding on a filler procedure,
make sure to choose a clinic whose portfolio matches your personal taste.
Thank you.
