Overview
This guide explains how filler is measured and how much is commonly used per area. Amounts are general ranges, not a plan; the doctor decides after examining your face. Some Korean clinics price per cc, others per area or per syringe.
How to use this guide
Hyaluronic acid filler adds volume where it is placed and holds water. Thin, soft gels are used for lips and fine areas; thicker, firmer gels are used for chin, jaw and cheeks. Small amounts in the right places usually look more natural than large amounts in one place.
What we recommend
- Lips: about 0.5–1 cc for a natural result
- Nose: about 0.5–1.5 cc
- Chin: about 1–3 cc
- Cheeks: about 1–2 cc per side
- Under-eyes and tear troughs: about 0.3–1 cc in total
What to avoid
- Pregnant or breastfeeding people
- Anyone with active infection or cold sores at the site
- People with a history of permanent filler in the area
- Anyone wanting large volumes in one session
- Choosing filler purely by lowest price per cc
Step by step
- Ask whether the price is per cc, per syringe or per area
- Confirm the brand, such as Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, Neuramis or Yvoire
- Ask how many cc are planned and where
- Check the sealed box and syringe label
- Ask about hyaluronidase availability in case of complications
Aftercare tips
- Avoid pressing or massaging the area for 1–2 weeks unless advised
- Avoid saunas, alcohol and heavy exercise for 2–3 days
- Sleep on your back for a few nights
- Seek help at once for severe pain, white or dark skin patches, or vision changes
- You can usually fly the next day
Things to watch for
- Swelling, tenderness and bruising
- Lumps or unevenness
- Filler migration over time with large volumes
- Rare blood vessel blockage, which is an emergency treated with hyaluronidase
