How is ear filler done? FAQ

Ear filler is a procedure in which hyaluronic acid filler is injected into specific parts of the ear to make the ear project slightly forward.

When the ears sit slightly forward like this, they can create a visual effect that makes the face look smaller and more three-dimensional, which is why it has become especially popular among influencers who take selfies frequently these days.

Fairy ears? Elf ears? Why does the face look smaller?

If the ears are set back, only the facial outline stands out, creating an optical illusion that makes the face look larger. On the other hand, when the ears face slightly forward, the ear area disperses the outer contour of the face, creating a visual effect that makes the face look smaller. In particular, people with a flat upper helix or flat ears can expect noticeable improvement through ear filler.

Ear shapes vary from person to person so much that they can be used for personal identification, like fingerprints.

After custom designing the treatment to match the individual’s ear shape, the procedure itself is fairly simple.

After checking the ear shape and balance,

a small amount of hyaluronic acid filler is injected into the necessary areas to shape the ear so that it naturally stands forward with more volume.

That is why design is so important!! The more experience someone has with design, the more advantageous it is!!

What kind of filler is used?

The ear requires delicate shape adjustment and is an area that is easily pressed, so caution is needed. At Apgujeong Merry Plastic Surgery Clinic, we mainly use the following fillers.

Filler with large particles and excellent shape-retention ability (products with a high G' value)
Hyaluronic acid-based filler, which can also be dissolved if needed

And because it is used for the purpose of “building a block,” like nose filler, a firmer formulation is more important than a filler that spreads widely.

Many people ask about the duration, and it usually lasts about 6 months to 1 year.

However, because the ear is an area that is frequently pressed, many people may need touch-ups around the 6-month mark depending on the person.

How much does it cost?

The cost varies depending on the type of filler used (domestic/imported) and is generally around 200,000 to 500,000 KRW per session. Since the amount used in the ear is not large, it is relatively less burdensome than facial filler.

However, it can vary depending on facial shape and ear shape, so an in-depth consultation is essential.

Ear filler changes the size perception of the face

The secret to making the face look smaller may unexpectedly be the “ears.”

In the past, fillers for the forehead, chin, and nose were the main focus, but now a new area called the “ears” is emerging as a point for improving natural facial proportions and refining the image. If you want a clear, smaller-looking face shape with a low-burden procedure, it may be worth considering ear filler at least once.
