Median is the midpoint of the advertised range. Full tier breakdown in the lip filler cost guide.
The 4 best lip filler clinics in Gangnam
1. Gold J Clinic — Seolleung
Lip filler is the clinic's named signature (Touch-Up Kiss, horizontal-expansion lips); the director advises for Restylane and lectures on lip technique. Over 2,700 Naver reviews - the deepest review base on this list. Lips are sold as named designs, not syringes.
2. Brandnew Clinic — Cheongdam
Brandnew's lip work shows up in patient reviews more than any Cheongdam clinic we tracked - typically for subtle volume and fixing left-right imbalance rather than dramatic plumping. Fillers designed against the whole face, not injected in isolation.
3. PIND Dermatology — Apgujeong
The transparency pick: the director writes publicly, under his own name, about how he approaches lip volume - what balanced proportions mean and when to say no to more filler. You can read the doctor's philosophy before you sit in his chair.
4. Abijou Clinic — Cheongdam
If it's your first procedure in Korea and you want published prices, seven-language support and WhatsApp booking, Abijou removes the most friction. Higher-volume, so bring reference photos and state your target look clearly.

Lip filler in Korea — FAQ
How much does lip filler cost in Gangnam?
Publicly advertised 2026 prices run about 150,000-350,000 KRW per syringe (1cc), depending on brand (domestic vs imported HA) and clinic tier. Confirm the all-in total - VAT and numbing included - before treatment.
How long does lip filler last?
Usually 6-12 months. Lips metabolize filler faster than other areas because they move constantly, so plan on roughly twice-yearly touch-ups.
Do Korean clinics do natural-looking lips?
Natural is the default. Korean lip work leans toward asymmetry correction, border definition and modest volume. If you want a bolder result, say so explicitly and bring reference photos.
Does it hurt? What's the downtime?
Strong numbing cream plus lidocaine-blended fillers are standard, so most feel pressure rather than pain. Expect 2-3 days of swelling and up to a week of possible light bruising.
What is the median lip filler price in Gangnam as of September 2026?
As of September 2026, publicly advertised lip filler pricing in Gangnam runs ₩150,000–₩500,000 per 1cc syringe, with a midpoint of about ₩325,000 (roughly USD 110–370). The figures are compiled from publicly advertised Gangnam clinic pricing, not from quotes collected from clinics.
How we chose
Sources
Very few hyaluronic-acid fillers carry a regulator's lip-specific indication, and knowing which ones do is the cheapest piece of homework before a consultation. In the United States the FDA has approved Restylane Silk (2014), Juvéderm Ultra XC (2015), Juvéderm Volbella XC (2016), Restylane Kysse (2020), Revanesse Lips+ (2020) and, most recently, Belotero Intense (+) Lidocaine (2026) specifically for injection into the lips — the FDA's approval order for Restylane Kysse states the device "is intended for injection into the lips for lip augmentation and for correction of upper perioral rhytids in patients over the age of 21." Korean approvals are issued separately by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and do not map one-to-one onto that list, so a U.S. record tells you a product exists as a lip product — not that the syringe in front of you in Gangnam is the same approval. Ask the clinic to name the product and show the box.
