When Volume Loss and Hollowing Concern You
Care guide by concern
Hollowing of the temples, forehead, cheeks, and under-eyes results from a combination of fat pad atrophy, skeletal volume loss, and reduced dermal thickness. At DA Clinic Myeongdong, filler is used to immediately replenish lost volume, while PRP and skin boosters restore the dermis itself in thickness and hydration, creating natural dimension. We work on the principle of staged volume restoration rather than excessive single-session injection.
See if this describes your condition
Hollowing doesn't become natural simply by filling in volume. A smooth impression returns only when the skin's own thickness and moisture are restored. We design filler together with boosters and PRP. On your visit, we determine whether the cause of the hollowing lies in fat, bone structure, or skin, and design the balance between filling (filler) and restoration (boosters, PRP). As a principle, we don't overfill at once but supplement gradually.

Treatment Options

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a large amount of filler be injected in one session?
Injecting an excessive volume in a single session can look unnatural, prolong swelling, and result in uneven absorption later on. At DA Clinic Myeongdong, we recommend a staged approach — dividing the appropriate volume per area and re-evaluating after 2–4 weeks for any touch-up.
Will filler look unnatural?
As a principle, we choose products of different viscosities by area, start with a conservative volume, and refine after two weeks. Avoiding over-correction is key to a natural result.
How long does the effect last?
Filler lasts 6–18 months depending on the product and area, while boosters and PRP vary with skin condition. The expected cycle will be explained at your consultation.
How long does post-treatment swelling last?
It often subsides within 2–3 days, though this varies by area and individual. If you have an important event, we recommend allowing 1–2 weeks beforehand.
Results and recovery vary from person to person.
