Why Does Your Face Look Rounder After Filler or Collagen Injection?

You spent tens of thousands, so why did your face turn into a steamed bun after the procedure? At Gangnam Choice Clinic, we've seen many people assume that you fill whatever looks hollow and that the more you fill, the younger you look — only to end up with a face that gets rounder with every session, until even the contour is gone.

Why does filling more make the face rounder?

Most people in their 20s and 30s don't lack volume in the cheeks at all — what they lack is structural support. If you inject a large amount directly into the superficial layer, the product isn't properly absorbed, and after sitting in the face for 1-2 years it shifts downward due to gravity, visually turning into an over-inflated steamed bun face.

How does the clinic handle cases like this?

We refuse the factory assembly line and practice warm, customized aesthetics.

• The director personally consults and designs: from assessment to injection, the director oversees every step.
• Subtractive, precise technique: inject as little as possible, never more; collagen injections or filler are precisely anchored in the deep periosteal layer to provide structural support rather than superficial buildup.
• Pursuing a natural, refined look: what we do best is make you look like you're in better shape and more refined, without anyone being able to tell what you had done.

We are located in Gangnam, Seoul, and every month we see quite a few clients seeking correction after excessive or wrongly layered injections.
