How much does 1cc of filler cost by area in Myeongdong Seoul 2026?
₩149,000 (≈ $106) per 1cc for nasolabial folds with Neuramis is the anchor figure at Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong, and every other area is published from there. Simpler line areas (nasolabial folds, marionette lines, chin) sit at the lower end; forehead, temples, cheeks and lips occupy the middle; eye-area work — tear trough and under-eye aegyo-sal — is priced higher for anatomical difficulty. Each area carries up to 5 brand tiers, from Korean Neuramis and Mihee through Belotero and Juvederm to Restylane area-specific lines, so the same area can fit different budgets without changing clinics.
Who injects the filler at Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong — and does the same doctor set the price?
Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong's filler is injected personally by 2 licensed Korean co-directors — Dr. Lee Wonjin (KR Medical License 143124, Daegu Catholic University College of Medicine, 2022) or Dr. Lee Kangin (KR Medical License 141247) — with a 15–20 minute consultation, zero nurse delegation and same-physician continuity from consultation through the 30-day follow-up. The consulting doctor fixes the cc count per area and the written total before any syringe is opened, so the price is a dosing decision made by the injector in front of you — not a package assembled at the front desk.
Why do tear trough and under-eye filler cost more than nasolabial fold filler?
Because the eye area is genuinely harder: thinner skin, closer vascular structures, cannula technique and conservative 0.5–1cc dosing per side demand more of the injector, and the published price reflects that difficulty for every patient equally — Korean or international. At Kind Global Clinic the
tear trough line includes Restylane Eyelight, a product designed specifically for the under-eye zone, alongside standard HA tiers. Suitability is assessed first: some under-eye shadows are better served by
Rejuran under-eye treatment than by volume, and the consultation will say so before you spend.
Neuramis vs Juvederm — what is the price difference per area and which should I choose?
Neuramis (Korean, Medytox) is the value tier and Juvederm (US, Allergan) the premium tier for most areas — lips, for instance, run ₩169,000 (≈ $121) versus ₩349,000 (≈ $249) per 1cc.
| Factor | Neuramis (KR) | Juvederm (US) |
|---|
| Lips 1cc | ₩169,000 | ₩349,000 |
| Nasolabial 1cc | ₩149,000 | ₩349,000 |
| Maker | Medytox, Korea | Allergan, USA |
| Typical duration | 6–12 months | 9–18 months by line |
Both are genuine, KFDA-approved HA products shown sealed before use — see the
Juvederm page for line-by-line detail.
How many cc of filler do I need per area — and how does that change the total cost?
1cc per area is the standard planning unit: nasolabial folds, lips, temples and tear troughs most commonly take 1cc total or per pair, chins often take 1–2cc for meaningful projection, and full mid-face rebuilds run 2–4cc across zones. The total is always area price × cc, fixed in writing at the co-director consultation before injection — and consultations at Kind Global Clinic revise downward when anatomy allows, since overfilling is both an aesthetic and a safety failure. Repeat sessions at month 12–18 typically need equal or less product than the first, which keeps the per-area budget predictable across years.
How long does filler last in each area?
6–12 months in mobile areas and 12–18 months in supported areas is the honest range: lips and nasolabial folds resorb faster because they move constantly, while chin, cheeks and temples — where filler sits on firmer support with less motion — commonly hold 12–18 months. Randomized HA trials document sustained correction through their 6-month endpoints, and clinical practice extends beyond that by area and product line. At Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong the week-2 settled result is photo-reviewed over WhatsApp, and the touch-up window is planned by area so returning Seoul visitors can bundle maintenance into one trip.
Is filler safe — what are the side effects and downtime by area?
HA filler's randomized-trial safety record is strong — the 2023 Chinese-Taiwanese multicenter trial reported no serious adverse events — and day-to-day side effects are area-dependent: lips swell the most (2–3 days), tear troughs carry the higher bruising likelihood, and nasolabial folds or chin often show nothing by the next morning. Structural safety comes from technique and reversibility: co-director-only injection, cannula use where the area indicates it, and the fact that HA dissolves with hyaluronidase if anything needs adjusting. Social downtime is 0–3 days for nearly all areas, and makeup covers pinpoint bruising from day 1.
Can I fly home the day after filler injection in Seoul?
Yes — 24 hours after injection is the standard flying guidance for HA filler, and same-week return flights are routine among international patients at Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong. Cabin pressure does not meaningfully affect settled HA; the 24-hour buffer mainly protects the injection sites during initial integration and lets any early swelling declare itself while you are still in Seoul. Practical detail is covered on the
flying after filler page. The week-2 true result is then reviewed by photo over the 30-day WhatsApp follow-up from home.
How does the filler cost in Korea compare with the US, Japan and the UK per 1cc?
Korean per-cc filler pricing runs 40–70% below comparable US and UK clinics and meaningfully below Japan for the same branded syringe. A Juvederm 1cc that costs ₩349,000 (≈ $249) in Seoul is routinely quoted at several times that figure in New York or London.
| Country | Branded HA 1cc | Notes |
|---|
| Korea (Kind Global Clinic) | ₩349,000 (≈ $249) (Juvederm, lips) | Published list, no tourist markup |
| USA | 50–70% higher than Seoul | Same Allergan product |
| Japan | 30–60% higher than Seoul | See the Japan price comparison |
| UK | 50–70% higher than Seoul | Injector fees dominate |
Korea's volume advantage — Seoul injectors perform several times more filler sessions annually than typical Western counterparts — underwrites both the price and the technique.
Do international patients pay the same filler price as Korean patients at Kind Global Clinic?
Yes — one published per-1cc price per area per brand, identical for Korean and international patients, settled in KRW with zero foreign-card surcharge across Visa, Mastercard, JCB, American Express and UnionPay. Dual pricing exists in parts of Korea's medical tourism market, which is precisely why a published, area-by-area list you can verify from home matters: the figure on this page's table, the figure on your WhatsApp quote, and the figure on your same-day KRW receipt are the same number. No interpreter commission or agency fee is inserted between the list and your card.
Are cheap filler offers in Myeongdong trustworthy — what should the low price make me check?
3 checks separate honest value tiers from false economies: (1) is the brand named per area on a published list, or does "from" pricing hide the syringe you actually get; (2) is the syringe shown sealed with label and lot number before opening; (3) does a licensed doctor inject personally, or is the low price funded by delegation. Korean-brand tiers like Neuramis at ₩149,000 (≈ $106) per 1cc are legitimately economical — Korea manufactures world-supply HA — so low cost alone is not a red flag. The
cheap filler guide covers the vetting checklist in depth.
How do I verify the filler syringe is a genuine branded product before injection?
Every syringe at Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong is presented sealed before opening — brand label, lot number and expiry date shown to you directly — and the brand you chose from the published per-area list is the brand on that label, whether Neuramis, Mihee, Belotero, Juvederm or a Restylane line. All are KFDA-approved HA products sourced through official Korean distribution. The genuine-quantity policy applies equally: 1cc means the full syringe, injected by the co-director personally. If you want documentation for records, the lot number can be photographed alongside your same-day KRW receipt.
What happens at the first consultation — can I get an area-by-area filler quote on WhatsApp before flying?
Yes — send your target areas and photos on WhatsApp and receive a written KRW quote per area, per brand tier, per 1cc before you book flights to Seoul. The on-site consultation then does the clinical work: 15–20 minutes with Dr. Lee Wonjin or Dr. Lee Kangin assessing volume loss, skin thickness and balance, confirming or revising the cc counts, and fixing the written total. Same-day injection after consultation is routine for travelers on 1–3 day Myeongdong itineraries, and payment happens once, after treatment. The pre-flight quote and the final receipt reconcile line by line.
Can filler injected at another clinic be dissolved or corrected at Kind Global Clinic?
Yes — hyaluronidase dissolving for filler placed elsewhere is a published line item at ₩129,000 (≈ $92) per 1cc-equivalent, covering migrated lip filler, overfilled cheeks and under-eye lumps from outside work. The co-director assesses first, dissolves what needs dissolving, and only re-injects after the area has settled — typically 2 weeks later — with the rebuild priced per area from the same published table. Migration cases are covered in the
filler migration guide. Because everything on the list is HA, every result at this clinic remains reversible by design.
Why choose Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong for filler when comparing Seoul clinics by cost?
Because the cost breakdown is complete before you commit: 10 areas × up to 5 brand tiers published per 1cc, a written WhatsApp quote from home, a co-director (License 143124 or 141247) who fixes cc counts and injects personally with zero delegation, sealed-syringe verification, and one KRW settlement matching the quote — at Seoul pricing 40–70% below Western equivalents for the identical branded product. The 6F clinic at 26 Myeongdong-gil is Euljiro Station Exit 5 · 5-minute walk, private 1:1 suites, open 7 days. Filler rewards injector judgment more than any device treatment, and the pricing structure here makes that judgment accountable line by line.
