Malar (Cheekbone) Fillers in Seoul: Procedure, Results & Cost
Deep filler placement over the cheekbones to restore mid-face volume, add gentle lift and define the cheek contour without implants.
Malar augmentation filler enhances the cheekbone (zygomatic) area with hyaluronic acid or a collagen-stimulating injectable, restoring mid-face volume and giving a subtle lift and more defined cheek contour. Treatment takes 20–40 minutes depending on the number of syringes; mild swelling or bruising usually resolves within a few days. HA filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. In Gangnam a standard HA syringe is typically ₩600,000–₩1,200,000.
What are malar augmentation fillers?
Malar augmentation is a non-surgical way to enhance the cheekbones. Filler is placed deep over the zygomatic bone and mid-face fat pads to:
- Restore lost mid-face volume
- Add subtle lift and projection to the cheeks
- Improve facial balance and symmetry
Most patients choose hyaluronic acid filler, which is reversible. Collagen-stimulating products (e.g. Sculptra, Radiesse) build volume more gradually and can improve skin quality over time, but cannot be dissolved.
Who is a good candidate?
- Flat or hollow cheeks, or mid-face volume loss with age
- Those wanting a lifted, fuller cheek appearance
- Patients preferring a non-permanent alternative to cheek implants
In East Asian aesthetics, the goal is often a soft front-cheek fullness rather than wider cheekbones; your plan is based on your facial structure.

The procedure
- Consultation and facial mapping
- Cleansing and topical numbing

Frequently asked questions
What is malar augmentation?
It is enhancement of the cheekbone area; with fillers it is done non-surgically by injecting HA or collagen-stimulating filler over the cheekbones.
How long do cheekbone fillers last?
Duration depends on the product; deep cheek HA fillers are generally among the longer-lasting filler areas, and collagen stimulators work gradually. Your doctor will explain the expected duration for the product chosen.
Can cheek filler lift sagging skin?
Restoring mid-face volume can give a subtle lift, but significant sagging usually needs lifting treatments such as HIFU or RF.
How much do cheek fillers cost in Gangnam?
A standard HA syringe is about ₩600,000–₩1,200,000; multiple syringes for the full mid-face are about ₩1,200,000–₩2,500,000.
Is cheek filler reversible?
HA filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase; collagen-stimulating fillers cannot.
