Why Does Filler Make Your Face Look Fake or Shift?

After filler, a face looking fake or shifting is usually not about the product or the dose, but about the depth the doctor injects at. At Gangnam Choice Clinic, we often hear this question in consultations: after spending a good deal of money, it looks as if nothing was done, or the face is swollen like a copy of someone else. The difference usually comes down to the layer the needle tip reaches.

Why do some people look fake or shift after filler?

Because the entire dose is piled in superficial layers, with no support built at the base.

A fast, assembly-line style of injecting usually fills wherever there is a hollow, in a rather rigid way. When the filler stays in superficial layers, the face easily loses its natural look, and shifting can occur.

How is an injection that emphasizes technique done?

It emphasizes deep support at the periosteum, using a very small dose for deep lifting.

Done this way, the face is firm and natural, with no awkward period and no mask-like look.

• The layer is the periosteum, not the superficial layer
• The dose used is small, relying on deep support rather than piling on volume
• The goal is firmness and naturalness, not filling up

What should you look at when choosing a treatment?

Don't look only at a low price, and don't follow trends when choosing a treatment; look more at the doctor's technique and aesthetic style.

Gangnam Choice Clinic is in Gangnam, Seoul, and the director performs every procedure one-on-one in person; the judgment of injection depth is also handled by the same doctor from start to finish.
