Body filler

• Localized shoulder or hip volume loss and symmetry
• Clarify whether volume loss or skin quality is the main concern
• Plan a gradual approach around the area, previous procedures and recovery schedule

These procedures do not cause weight loss or build muscle. Marked laxity, stretch marks, cellulite or major enlargement may need a different approach. Skin thickness, scars, previous treatments and asymmetry are assessed first.

  The change you want, the impression you keep

  Body filler adds soft-tissue volume to a local hollow to adjust its contour. This guide concerns hyaluronic acid (HA). Shoulders, buttocks and hip dips differ in anatomy and pressure exposure and require separate assessments.

  How it differs from similar options

  Volume replacement differs from skin tightening and fat reduction. It does not change bone width or posture. A large single-session volume is not the goal; the product, ingredients and suitability for each site need confirmation.

1. 01

   Start with the concern

   Assessment considers standing posture, symmetry, skin thickness and elasticity, and the contribution of fat, muscle and bone. Previous injections or surgery may require records and further evaluation before a plan can be made.

   Understand your product

   Plan through recovery

   The early contour includes both injected volume and swelling. Review feel, shape and symmetry once swelling settles before considering more treatment. HA is temporary; duration varies with the product, amount, movement and tissues.

What the procedure is like

• The initial shape includes swelling. Bruising, tenderness, tightness or firmness may occur; allow recovery time before important events.
• Bruising, swelling and tenderness can occur. Discuss exercise, sauna, swimming and long journeys beforehand. Pressure and massage instructions differ by product and area; follow your clinician’s specific advice. Compare progress in the same position and lighting after swelling settles.
• Review symmetry, texture and contour after swelling and bruising settle. Early fullness should not be used alone to decide on more filler.

Safety & considerations

Contact a clinician immediately for worsening pain, pale or dusky skin, heat, fever or discharge. Breathlessness, chest pain or sudden systemic symptoms require emergency care. Facial use does not establish an indication or evidence for every body area. The Korean product information, intended use and proposed site must be checked. Any use outside the authorized scope needs a separate explanation of its rationale, evidence limits and alternatives. Facial studies do not guarantee body results or duration. Approval for a facial filler does not establish approval for shoulder or buttock use. The US FDA has not approved fillers for body contouring or buttock enlargement. Korean product indications and any use outside them must be checked and explained separately. Evidence for these areas is limited; outcomes and risks vary.
