Thin Lip Correction in Seoul | Gangnam CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic & Cost

What is Thin Lip Correction?

Thin lip correction is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the volume, shape, and definition of naturally thin or aging lips. Thin lips can make the face appear less balanced or expressive, and some individuals may seek a fuller, more youthful pout. Correction options range from non-surgical fillers to surgical lip augmentation, depending on the desired outcome and lip structure.

At CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, we specialize in creating natural-looking lip enhancements using hyaluronic acid fillers, fat grafting, or surgical techniques. Our board-certified specialists customize each treatment to ensure a balanced lip-to-face ratio, defined contours, and long-lasting results—whether you're aiming for subtle volume or a dramatic transformation.



Who is a Good Candidate for Thin Lip Correction?

You may be a good candidate for thin lip correction if you:

✔ Have naturally thin, flat, or aging lips
✔ Desire fuller, more symmetrical, or better-defined lips
✔ Are looking to enhance your lip volume with natural proportions
✔ Are in good general health and have realistic expectations
✔ Prefer a non-permanent solution (like fillers) or a longer-term option (like fat grafting or surgery)

At CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic, your consultation includes a personalized lip and facial analysis. Whether you choose subtle lip fillers or a more permanent method like fat transfer, our team ensures your results enhance both your lips and overall facial harmony.

How is Thin Lip Correction Performed?

1. Consultation & Evaluation

• Detailed lip and facial assessment to evaluate natural lip shape, volume, symmetry, and proportions
• Discussion of aesthetic goals—whether enhancing fullness, defining the cupid’s bow, or correcting asymmetry
• Evaluation of skin type, facial harmony, and whether a temporary or permanent solution is desired

2. Treatment Approach

• Depending on the patient’s goals and lip structure, several methods may be used:

– Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: The most popular option for adding volume and shape; done with precision to avoid overfilling
– Fat Grafting (Lip Fat Transfer): Harvested fat from the patient’s body is purified and injected for a natural, longer-lasting enhancement
– Lip Lift Surgery: Removes a small strip of skin under the nose to lift the upper lip and enhance red lip show, ideal for elongated philtrum
– Lip Implants: For permanent augmentation using biocompatible materials
• Most procedures are done under local anesthesia and take less than an hour

3. Recovery & Aftercare

• Mild swelling, tenderness, and possible bruising are normal for 2–5 days after injection or surgery
• Ice packs and prescribed ointments may be used to manage swelling and support healing
• Fat grafting and surgical options may require more downtime (up to 1–2 weeks)
• Makeup and lip products should be avoided for a few days post-treatment
• Results are evaluated over follow-up visits to ensure symmetry and natural contour

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery Timeline:

• Fillers: Mild swelling for 2–3 days, results settle in 1 week
• Fat Grafting: Swelling for 5–10 days; volume stabilizes over 1–2 months
• Lip Lift Surgery: Sutures removed in 5–7 days; full healing in 2–3 weeks
• Return to Normal Activities: 1–3 days for injectables, 7–10 days for surgery

Proper aftercare—including avoiding pressure or puckering and staying hydrated—helps optimize results and comfort during recovery.
