Hello.

This is Luho Plastic Surgery.

At some point, Botox and filler have become the most beloved petit plastic surgery methods for the public, as procedures that can deliver great results with very simple treatment.

Of course, many people already know the difference between the two procedures and their areas of application, but for the increasingly growing number of male patients these days, and for those who are confused about the differences between the two, today Luho Plastic Surgery would like to talk about the differences between the two procedures and their representative areas of application.

1. The difference between Botox and filler

First, Botox is a medicine made by purifying the neurotoxin secreted by the bacterium botulinum and diluting it so that it is not harmful to the body, making it harmless to the human body.

Using this diluted small amount of toxin, it paralyzes the muscles that are the main cause of facial wrinkles, preventing wrinkles from forming.

In contrast, filler refers to the overall process of restoring wrinkles or facial volume using injections. It is performed by injecting substances that are harmless to the human body, but they are gradually absorbed by the skin or broken down.

2. What is Botox?

As mentioned earlier, Botox is an injectable that paralyzes the muscles that create expression lines, softening wrinkles or preventing them from becoming deeper.

The most common use is to inject it into areas where wrinkles commonly appear, such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, and nasolabial folds, to improve wrinkles.

Another method is to inject it into strongly developed muscles such as the square jaw or calves to reduce the muscle size and create a smoother, softer impression.

Lastly, there is skin Botox, which is injected into the skin layer rather than the muscle to improve skin texture, pores, and elasticity.

2-1 Areas treated with Botox

Depending on the treatment methods mentioned above, Botox can be broadly applied to various areas, including the entire face, calves, or trapezius muscles, as well as the jaw and nostril wrinkles.

Because it can produce the desired effect in many different areas, consultation with an experienced medical professional is even more important.

3. Then what about filler?

Filler is an injection that fills in areas where the face has lost volume. It is used on wrinkles or areas where the overall facial volume has decreased to restore fullness and create volume.

3-1 Areas treated with filler

Filler can also be applied to a wide range of areas, just like Botox mentioned earlier.

It can be injected from the under-eye aegyo-sal to the overall cheek area to create new volume. It can also be injected into the forehead to create a fuller and rounder volume.

In addition, it can be injected into the tip or bridge of the nose to achieve an effect similar to nasal surgery, and into the chin to address a receding chin or create a more voluminous facial shape.

3-2 Removal is harder than adding it

However, because the results of every procedure are not always satisfactory, removing filler that has been injected incorrectly requires even more careful attention and much more experience than injecting it in the first place.

Of course, you need to know the brand of filler that caused the problem and the injected solution that was mixed and used together.

In addition, judgment and execution based on the number of procedures accumulated through experience are key.

At Luho Plastic Surgery, with many years of rich experience and specialized knowledge, we remove fillers for patients who were not satisfied at other clinics.

Then, what signs should make you consider filler removal?

Filler injections that cause problems for various reasons such as pain, appearance, color, and overall look can be a major source of stress.

If any of the four points above apply to you, I think you should seriously consider filler removal.

4. Closing remarks

Both Botox and filler are now procedures that are very familiar to us.

However, to get the best results, these procedures require the practitioner’s experience, aesthetic sense, and careful attention.

And if done incorrectly, it goes without saying that side effects accompanied by severe pain and stress must be avoided.

At Luho Plastic Surgery, we promise detailed and attentive consultation as well as direct treatment by the medical staff who conducted the consultation.

We are confident that we can provide the best results with minimal pain and time.

We hope that those who are still unfamiliar with petit procedures, those who feel burdened by surgery, and those who are hesitant about surgery because they are men will read this post and take it as an opportunity to think again about petit procedures.

Thank you.
