Lip Filler: How Do You Avoid a Duck Bill or Sausage Lips?
At Gangnam Choice Clinic, lip filler starts with a consultation by the director, who measures and calculates the dosage with a ruler, then decides where each injection goes. Some clients worry about ending up with a duck bill or sausage lips, but only 1cc was actually used: 0.4cc in the upper lip to bring out the cupid's bow and M shape, and 0.6cc in the lower lip, added in the center for a plump look.
At Gangnam Choice Clinic, lip filler begins with a consultation by the director, who measures and calculates the dosage with a ruler, then decides where each injection goes and why it is divided that way. A client from Hong Kong walked in very nervous, saying she was afraid of ending up with a duck bill or sausage lips. After the consultation, the amount decided on was 1cc: 0.4cc for the upper lip and 0.6cc for the lower lip.
How is 1cc divided between the upper and lower lips?
The 0.4cc in the upper lip brings out the cupid's bow and a natural M shape; the 0.6cc in the lower lip is added in the center for a plump, bouncy look.
The director explains in detail where each injection goes and the reason for dividing it that way, and the client relaxed after hearing it.
What does it look like right after the procedure?
A before-and-after photo was taken right after the procedure, and both the cupid's bow and the lower lip had just the right amount of moisture, with no stiffness.
The client looked in the mirror and broke into a smile, joking that the trip to Seoul was really worth it.
