Apple Cheek Filler in Seoul

Apple Cheek Filler explained

The apple of the cheek is the soft front part that lifts when you smile. Volume here can make the face look youthful and soft, a look popular in Korea. Apple cheek filler restores or adds this fullness.

How Apple Cheek Filler works

The doctor injects hyaluronic acid filler into the front cheek, often with a cannula, in deep and sometimes mid layers. This creates gentle roundness and can soften a flat mid-face or a mid-cheek groove. It is different from cheekbone filler, which adds height to the side of the face. HA filler can be dissolved if needed.
