The same "1cc of filler" is advertised in Gangnam anywhere from ₩90,000 to ₩700,000. The spread is not chaos — it is three variables: product, area, and who injects. Price any quote in 30 seconds with the tables below.
| Product tier | Examples | Per cc (KRW) | ≈USD |
|---|---|---|---|
| Domestic Korean HA | Neuramis, Chaeum, e.p.t.q. | ₩150,000–300,000 | $110–220 |
| Imported HA | Juvederm, Restylane | ₩300,000–700,000 | $220–520 |
| Area | Typical amount | All-in range (KRW) | ≈USD |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lips | 1cc | ₩150,000–500,000 | $110–370 |
| Chin | 1–2cc | ₩200,000–600,000 | $150–445 |
| Nasolabial folds | 1–2cc | ₩250,000–600,000 | $185–445 |
| Under-eye (tear trough) | 1–2cc | ₩400,000–700,000+ | $295–520+ |
| Nose | ~1cc | ₩400,000–700,000+ | $295–520+ |
Under-eye and nose cost more because they are the highest-skill, highest-risk areas — you are paying for the injector, not the gel. Headline prices commonly exclude VAT (10%), numbing and design fees.
It is usually not a scam — it is a first-visit event: 0.5cc of domestic product, injected by a staff doctor, often limited to one area. Perfectly fine for a first chin touch-up; not comparable to 1cc of Juvederm placed by the director. Three questions convert any teaser into a real quote: Which product? How many cc? Who injects?
Korean domestic HA fillers are KFDA-approved, produced at export scale, and used in most of the millions of filler treatments Gangnam performs each year. Imported brands differ in cross-linking technology, feel, published longevity data and price. Honest Gangnam injectors will tell you: for most areas, the hand matters more than the gel — but you should always be told which product is going in, and see the box opened in front of you.
₩150,000–500,000 ($110–370) for 1cc depending on product tier and injector. The famous lip-specialist clinics price by design, not by the cc.
Substantially: a Juvederm syringe commonly runs $650–1,000 in the US vs $220–520 in Gangnam; domestic product drops it to $110–220. For a multi-area plan the gap is large; for a single 0.5cc touch-up, the flight math rarely works.
Yes — same-day consult-and-treat is normal in Gangnam. Leave 48+ hours before flights or photos: small bumps and bruises are common for a day or two.
Roughly 6–18 months depending on product, area and metabolism. Lips fade fastest; chin and nose hold longest.
