Philtrum filler cost in Busan, Korea: read the lip row first

Where philtrum filler appears on the price board

The Barog filler board lists no separate philtrum entry. Injections into the two ridges and the shallow groove above the upper lip are charged on the lip and mouth-corner row, priced per cc and starting from ₩110,000 for the entry product. The same row climbs through several longer-lasting hyaluronic acid lines, and its top line is listed at ₩380,000.

All figures are shown in Korean won, with VAT added on top at payment. International visitors read the same board as local patients, so there is no separate tourist tariff to decode.

One detail is easy to miss. This row is marked as excluding a follow-up touch-up visit, so any later top-up is billed as fresh gel on the same line.

Why the volume stays small, and what that means for the bill

The philtrum is a narrow strip between the nose and the upper lip. The goal is to redefine its two columns and soften flattening that comes with age, and that is done with a small deposit placed along each side. Gel is the main cost input, so a light correction keeps the total close to the single-cc figure.

Two choices push the number up: picking a firmer, longer-lasting product, or pairing the philtrum with lip or mouth-corner work in one appointment. When areas are combined, the gel is shared, and the injector explains at the consultation how the cc will be divided between them.

Results generally last around six to twelve months. The mouth moves constantly, so this area tends toward the shorter end of that range, and a sensible budget allows for an occasional repeat visit.

When a filler quote is the wrong next step

Filler adds shape and a little volume. It does not remove skin, so if the philtrum is long and the aim is to shorten it noticeably, the relevant option is a surgical lip lift, a different procedure from anything on this price board.

Treatment is also postponed during an active cold sore or infection around the mouth, in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and for anyone with a known allergy to hyaluronic acid or lidocaine. Mention any blood thinners when you book.

The realistic risks are swelling, bruising for a few days, asymmetry, small lumps and, rarely, infection. The injection itself takes about ten to fifteen minutes after numbing cream.

Comparing a Busan quote with one from home

A fair comparison needs three matching details: the same product family, the same volume, and whether a touch-up is included. The per-cc listing in Busan makes the first two easy to check, and the lip row states plainly that no retouch is bundled.

Barog's facial filler count since 2021 passes one hundred thousand treatments, and philtrum work is carried out within its lip and wrinkle filler lineup. Genuine-product certificates for the filler brands it uses are displayed at the clinic, which lets you match the name on your invoice to what was injected.
