Hongdae Filler: The Filler Area Even Doctors Strongly Advise Against

"I'm worried about the wrinkles between my eyebrows. What should I do? Should I try filler once?"

"I feel like I would look prettier if I just added a little volume to the bridge or tip of my nose. Should I get a quick filler treatment?"

Are you becoming increasingly concerned as the wrinkles between your eyebrows grow deeper over time?

Are you considering filler because you think your face would look more complete if you added volume to the bridge or tip of your nose?

To put it directly, the area starting from the glabella and extending to the bridge and tip of the nose—

this triangle zone, which includes all three areas, carries a very high risk for filler procedures.

Based on my nine years of experience performing filler procedures, I will explain why I do not recommend filler from the glabella to the tip of the nose.

Hello, I am Director Jo Won-jin of 차이의원.

I have nine years of experience performing filler procedures.

Therefore, I understand that filler can provide many people with a reasonable and immediate way to improve their appearance.

However, filler is also one of the procedures in the field that can cause serious complications.

As many people know, filler is a procedure that adds volume by injecting biocompatible ingredients beneath the skin.

Of course, when the appropriate amount is injected into the appropriate location, the likelihood of problems occurring is significantly lower.

However, if filler were to enter a blood vessel, even by chance, problems could occur. And where is the risk greatest?

It is the “triangle zone” mentioned earlier. This area refers to the region centered around the nose and extending up to the glabella.

This area contains the largest arteries that pass through the skull, so an improperly performed filler procedure can cause blindness or cerebral infarction.

To be more specific,

The area I mentioned contains two large blood vessels that pass above the eyebrows, vessels that ascend toward the nasolabial folds, and nasal blood vessels located along the bridge of the nose.

Not only do accidents occur particularly often in this area,

but if complications develop after a filler procedure here, they can result in problems severe enough to be irreversible.

In particular, the area above the eyebrows around the glabella already has a substantial amount of accumulated data, and it is even an area prohibited by the authorities in some countries.

The reason is that although the number of procedures is low, the complication rate is exceptionally high.

Then why do such serious complications occur disproportionately often in this area?

That is because the blood vessels passing above the eyebrows are not located as deep beneath the skin as you might think.

One may think that injecting superficially would be safe, but if the filler is injected into a blood vessel, the skin can become necrotic.

On the other hand, what happens if strong pressure is used to inject it deeper? It can then affect the eye and create a risk of blindness.

People who have searched for Hongdae filler may then ask:

"Then what should I do? The wrinkles between my eyebrows have become deeper and are bothering me. I cannot simply leave them untreated, can I?"

For those people, I will explain several procedures that may be considered for the “triangle zone.”

The first procedure I would like to mention is Botox.

Botox is one of the simpler procedures and is generally associated with few side effects.

Wrinkles between the eyebrows usually form because of repeated facial expressions, right?

By reducing the activity of the muscles around the eyebrows with Botox, it is possible to limit the repeated movements that create glabellar wrinkles and help prevent additional wrinkles from forming in the future.

It can also make wrinkles that have already formed appear somewhat less noticeable.

Then what can be done if you have missed the opportunity for prevention and the glabellar wrinkles have already become too deep?

Do such people have no choice but to receive glabellar filler?

No.

For such patients, a combination of subcision and skin Botox may be helpful.

With subcision, fibrotic tissue that is pulling the skin inward around already-deep wrinkles is released, and skin boosters that support skin regeneration are injected into the area.

Finally, depending on the situation, laser treatment may also be considered.

Today, I explained why filler procedures should be avoided in the area that begins at the glabella and extends down to the tip of the nose.

I have also personally worried about glabellar wrinkles and a lack of volume around the nose, and I have met many people with similar concerns.

I understand the desire to look a little more beautiful, and I am also in a position where I try to help people achieve that. However, I hope you will keep in mind that filler in this area carries a truly significant risk.

If you are looking into Hongdae filler or searching for a dermatology clinic to improve wrinkles around the glabella, I recommend that you make sure you understand this “triangle zone” before making your decision.

As I mentioned earlier, there are various ways to address glabellar wrinkles without necessarily using filler.

If you are looking for a dermatology clinic to address wrinkles in this “triangle zone,” I recommend choosing a treatment other than filler.

In other words, whichever dermatology clinic you visit, it would be advisable to choose one that carefully assesses the depth of your wrinkles and the condition of your skin during the consultation.

It is also important to choose a clinic that can design a treatment appropriate for the person receiving it, rather than one that simply provides whichever procedure the patient requests.

To summarize, when looking into a dermatology clinic, the most important questions are:

1. Does it have a system that allows you to understand the entire process, from consultation and treatment planning through post-treatment care?

2. Even if the person seeking treatment strongly wants a particular procedure, can the clinic kindly explain when it is inappropriate or risky and offer an alternative procedure that may provide a similar level of satisfaction?

Those are the two key points.

Please be sure to consider both of them when looking for a dermatology clinic.

I hope this information is helpful to those looking into Hongdae filler. I will conclude here.

This was Jo Won-jin, Director of 차이의원. Thank you.
