Nose and Under-Eye Filler: Identify High-Risk Areas First

Filler can restore volume and refine contours, but not every area can be treated in the same way. The nose and periorbital area have complex vascular anatomy and thin skin, so small differences in clinical judgment can affect both safety and appearance. During consultation, I explain the anatomy and alternatives before discussing the desired shape.

Nasal filler requires vascular caution

Even a small amount of filler can visibly change the nose, yet it is a vascularly complex area. Intravascular injection or vascular compression can cause skin injury and, in rare cases, visual complications. Repeated overfilling may also make the nose appear broad and blunt. Precise injection depth, minimal volume, clinical experience, and an immediate emergency protocol are essential.

Excessive tear-trough or aegyo-sal volume can alter facial expression

The skin under the eyes is thin and constantly moving. A small excess may appear lumpy or overly elongated and look unnatural when smiling. The goal is not to create a prominent bulge but to make a subtle adjustment based on facial proportions and existing soft-tissue volume.

Not every dark circle is caused by hollowing

Dark circles may result from pigmentation, visible blood vessels, thin skin, fat protrusion, or skeletal shadowing. If volume loss is not the main cause, filler may accentuate swelling, bluish discoloration, or visible contour boundaries. The underlying cause should be identified first, and skin treatment, lifting, or correction of protruding fat may be more appropriate.

Filler should be used only when clinically indicated

I am Dr. Kyungsoo Kim. I ask why an area looks hollow before asking where to inject. Even when filler is indicated, I use the minimum amount in stages while considering the vascular anatomy and tissue condition. Accurate diagnosis—including the decision not to inject—is the starting point for a natural and safe result.
