Lip Filler 1cc Review, and Why It’s Done Together with Corner-of-the-Mouth Botox

Hello.

I’m Kim Jang-ju from Beauty's Doctors.

These days, more and more people want more than just

plumper lips.

They want the corners of the mouth lifted slightly too,

for a softer overall impression.

Simply adding volume to the lips alone doesn’t usually

change the whole image dramatically.

That’s why these days, more people are considering

lip volume correction and corner-of-the-mouth Botox

together.

Each procedure has its own appeal on its own,

but when done together, they create a much more natural

and dimensional change ✨

Today, I’ll neatly organize this special combination,

including the before-and-after changes, how long it lasts,

and procedure tips.

After all, I think the difference in procedures is determined

by these details when it comes to completion.

1. Why get correction procedures

and Botox together?

The area around the mouth has a bigger impact on

your impression than you might think.

Even a slight difference in lip volume or the direction

of the mouth corners can change the entire mood of the face.

For example,

👄 If you add volume only to the lips

👉 The mouth corners can look pressed down, creating a stuffy or droopy impression

👄 If you lift only the mouth corners with Botox

👉 The center of the lips can look flat, creating an awkward impression as if the line is broken

So lip procedures and corner-of-the-mouth Botox

are both good separately,

but when performed together,

you can see a much more natural and harmonious result.

I always see the lips and mouth corners as one structure,

and I focus on creating a flow where the two areas connect naturally.

2. Is 1cc of lip filler enough?

Many people think lip volume correction is simply a procedure

that makes the lips plumper,

but in fact, it is closer to a delicate process of refining

the contour, Cupid’s bow, and the ratio with the philtrum.

Because the lips are located at the center of the face,

just adjusting the line a little can make the impression clearer

and give a much softer, more refined atmosphere.

Especially in cases like these,

👉 even 1cc of lip filler can provide a sufficient change.

👄 A blurry Cupid’s bow or left-right asymmetry

👄 Thin lips that create a strong impression

👄 An upper lip that is tucked in, creating a “peanut-shaped” lip

👄 A facial proportion that makes the philtrum look long

In the end, lip procedures are not simply about

making the lips fuller,

but about bringing out the lines and balance that suit

your face best.

3. How long does it last?

💉 Lip filler procedure

→ Usually lasts about 6 months to 1 year.

It may vary depending on the product used and the individual’s metabolic rate.

Before the procedure, make sure to check which product is being used.

💉 Corner-of-the-mouth Botox

→ Lasts about 3 to 4 months. After time passes, it gradually returns to its original state,

but if you receive it regularly,

the longevity can gradually improve.

✅ Tip: If you do a small touch-up before it is fully absorbed,

you can maintain a more natural and longer-lasting feel.

Also, as the muscles gradually adapt,

the duration often improves as the procedure is repeated.

4. Important things to know before and after the procedure

👄 1cc of lip filler is enough for basic correction.

👄 Corner-of-the-mouth Botox can soften the impression on its own,

but if the lip line is blurry or the volume is lacking,

it provides a more balanced effect when done together with correction.

💬 Q&A

Q. Are there any side effects?

❌ Asymmetry

May occur due to differences in the amount used or in muscle response, but can be corrected with touch-up treatment

❌ Nodules (hard lumps)

Rare, but may occur; can be resolved over time or with a dissolving injection

❌ Allergic reaction

Very rare, but can occur depending on the individual

❌ Botox-specific side effects

Temporary unnatural facial expressions caused by excessive muscle relaxation, asymmetry in the smile line, and similar issues may appear temporarily

Q. Will bruising or swelling occur?

There are individual differences, but temporary swelling or bruising may occur.

Usually, it goes down within 2 to 3 days,

and even if bruising appears, it is generally mild enough to be covered with makeup.

Recovery is usually quick with only ice packs after the procedure and 충분한 rest.

Q. Is it okay to do only upper-lip filler?

Yes, it is possible.

If the lips are thin or curled inward, the upper lip alone can create a clearer

and softer impression.

Q. Does it also make the philtrum look shorter?

Yes, it does.

Adding volume to the upper lip can make the philtrum look shorter

and improve facial balance.

Q. Does it also have an anti-aging effect?

Yes.

As the face gains more dimension, it can look younger

and give a softer impression.

Thank you for reading to the end.

So that small changes can lead to great satisfaction,

I will always be here with a careful and warm perspective.

Sincerely,

Kim Jang-ju.
