Nose Filler Price in Korea: Non-Surgical Nose Treatment

October 25, 2026

Nose filler, often called a non-surgical nose job, is a popular option for visitors to Korea who want a straighter bridge or a more defined tip without surgery or downtime. Prices vary with how much filler is used and whether threads are added for tip support. This guide explains how nose filler is priced in Korea, what the current package costs at a clinic in Seomyeon, Busan, and the safety points that matter more than price.

Quick answer: Non-surgical nose treatment in Korea is usually priced by the amount of filler and any threads added. At a clinic in Seomyeon, a Mini Nose Bridge and Tip Lift package (designed nose filler 1cc plus 4 HIKO threads) is from KRW 290,000, excluding 10% VAT. Treatment takes about 10–20 minutes after numbing, there is no real downtime, and results usually last about 12–18 months. Filler can raise a low bridge and smooth small bumps, but it cannot make a nose smaller.

What is nose filler?

Nose filler is hyaluronic acid (HA) gel placed deep, close to bone and cartilage, in small amounts along the bridge and, where needed, the tip. It acts as a soft scaffold that lifts the profile, and the change is visible straight away. Because it is HA, it can usually be dissolved with hyaluronidase if the shape needs correcting.

Filler is often combined with other non-surgical options:

  • Nose threads (such as Hyco/HIKO) : dissolvable threads that add structure and lift to the tip or bridge, often lasting about 12–24 months.
  • Columella filler : HA placed in the column between the nostrils to support tip projection.

How much does nose filler cost in Korea?

At a clinic in Seomyeon, the listed option is:

  • Mini Nose Bridge and Tip Lift: 4 HIKO threads + designed nose filler 1cc : from KRW 290,000

Prices checked October 2026. Amounts are in Korean won and exclude 10% VAT, which is added at payment, so KRW 290,000 becomes KRW 319,000 with VAT. Prices can change, so confirm the current price when you book. If threads do not suit you, the doctor explains other options and their cost at consultation.

What affects the price

  • Amount of filler. Most noses need a small amount; 1cc is often shared between bridge and tip.
  • Threads. Adding threads for tip support raises the price but can give more structure than filler alone.
  • Filler brand. Korean and imported HA fillers are priced differently.
  • Correcting old filler. If previous filler has spread or looks wide, dissolving it first adds a step.
  • VAT. Check whether a quote includes it.

Be wary of choosing purely on the lowest price: in the nose, careful technique and conservative amounts matter more than in almost any other area.

Who nose filler suits, and who should choose something else

Nose filler tends to suit people who:

  • have a low or flat bridge and want a straighter profile without surgery;
  • have a small bump and want the line above and below it smoothed;
  • want a little more tip definition with the bridge;
  • accept that the result is temporary and will need a top-up later.

It may not be the right tool if:

  • You want a smaller, narrower or shorter nose. Filler adds; it cannot reduce.
  • Your nose is already high. More height may look unbalanced.
  • You want much more tip projection. Threads or columella filler may help more.
  • You have had rhinoplasty or an implant. This needs careful individual assessment, and recent surgery or thin skin over an implant are reasons to wait or avoid filler.

Treatment is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with infection, a pimple or cold sore on the nose, an allergy to HA or lidocaine, a history of severe allergic reactions or a bleeding disorder.

Safety: the most important point

Nose filler is common and minimally invasive, but it is not risk-free. The most serious, though rare, risk is filler blocking a blood vessel. In the nose this matters because vessels connect to the skin and the eye area. Warning signs include severe pain, skin turning pale or blotchy, or any change in vision; these need urgent attention. Slow injection, conservative amounts and a narrow column of gel along the midline help reduce risk and avoid a widened look.

What happens on the day

  1. Consultation. The doctor examines your nose from the front, side and three-quarter view, checks skin thickness and forehead–chin balance, and reviews any previous filler, threads or surgery.
  2. Numbing and marking. Numbing cream is applied for about 20–30 minutes; the bridge line is marked while you sit upright.
  3. Treatment. About 10–20 minutes of injection, with the profile checked in a mirror as it builds.
  4. After. You can return to your day; mild swelling is possible.

Results and timeline

  • Immediately: the change is visible, often with some swelling.
  • Days 2–7: swelling and any bruising settle.
  • Weeks 2–4: the filler softens; the right time to judge the result.
  • Months 12–18: the filler is gradually absorbed; a small top-up maintains the shape.

The nose moves very little, so filler lasts longer here than in lips. Results vary by person and product.

Aftercare and travel

  • For 1–2 weeks, avoid pressing on the nose, heavy glasses and sleeping face-down.
  • Skip saunas and jjimjilbang for at least the first day and avoid strong heat on the nose for 1–2 weeks.
  • Avoid alcohol and hard exercise on the day; light makeup is usually fine from the next day.

You can sightsee the same day. If possible, leave a day or two before flying so the shape can be checked. The Seomyeon clinic is about 3 minutes from Seomyeon Station Exit 7, open Monday to Friday 10:00–20:00 and Saturday 10:00–16:00 KST, closed Sundays and for lunch 13:00–14:00.

Frequently asked questions

Is nose filler cheaper than rhinoplasty?

Per treatment, yes, and there is no general anaesthesia or recovery period. But filler is temporary and needs top-ups, and it cannot do what surgery does, such as reducing size.

Does nose filler hurt?

With numbing cream, most people feel pressure and mild discomfort rather than sharp pain. Tenderness usually settles within a day or two.

Can nose filler be reversed?

In most cases, yes. Hyaluronic acid can usually be broken down with hyaluronidase if the shape needs correcting.

Ultherapy is one of the most requested non-surgical lifting treatments in Korea, and Busan has become a popular place to have it done, especially for visitors who want to combine a treatment with a city break by the sea. This guide explains how Ultherapy works, who it suits, what it costs in Busan, and what recovery really looks like, so you can decide whether it fits your goals and your travel plans. Quick answer: Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound, guided by real-time imaging, to heat the deep supporting layer of the face (the SMAS) and trigger new collagen. A session takes about 30–60 minutes after numbing cream, there is usually no downtime, the lift builds over 2–6 months, and results typically last 6–12 months. In Busan, packages generally start from around KRW 790,000 before 10% VAT. What is Ultherapy? Ultherapy (often called Ulthera) is a micro-focused ultrasound device made by Merz Aesthetics. Like other HIFU treatments, it delivers concentrated ultrasound energy beneath the skin. What sets it apart is its built-in imaging: the practitioner can see the layers of the skin on screen and place each line of energy at the intended depth, including the SMAS, the same layer that is tightened in a surgical facelift. Each line creates tiny heated points that contract the tissue and start the body's collagen renewal process. Rather than an instant change, the skin firms and lifts gradually over the following months. Benefits of Ultherapy Reaches the deep support layer. Energy can be delivered down to the SMAS, which is why Ultherapy is used for sagging rather than surface texture alone. Imaging-guided precision. Seeing the tissue before each line helps place energy where it is needed and away from bone. No incisions and no downtime. Most people return to their day straight away. Natural, gradual change. The lift develops as collagen rebuilds, so results look like your own face, only firmer. One session a year for many people. A single treatment is usually enough for a visible change, repeated every 6–12 months. Who is a good candidate? Ultherapy tends to suit people in their 30s to 60s whose cheeks, jowls or brows have started to drop, or who have a softer jawline and some looseness under the chin. It is less helpful when the main concern is crepey texture rather than sagging (radiofrequency treatments such as Thermage FLX often suit that better), or when the face is very thin and hollow, in which case restoring volume may matter more than tightening. How much does Ultherapy cost in Busan? Ultherapy is priced by the number of lines (shots). Around 300 lines is typical for targeted areas such as the jawline and lower cheeks, while around 600 lines allows fuller coverage of the face and under the chin. In Busan, Ultherapy is often sold as a package combined with a skin booster or skin Botox. Ultherapy 300 lines + full-face skin Botox : from KRW 790,000 Ultherapy 600 lines + full-face skin Botox : from KRW 1,690,000 Prices checked October 2026. Korean clinic prices for cosmetic treatments are quoted in won and exclude 10% VAT, which is added at payment. Prices can change, so always confirm the current price when you book. When comparing quotes, check the number of lines included, whether the device is genuine Ultherapy or Ultherapy PRIME rather than a different HIFU machine, what is bundled in the package, and whether VAT is included in the figure you were given. What happens during a session Consultation. The doctor assesses sagging, fat and skin thickness, then plans the areas, depths and number of lines. Numbing. Numbing cream is applied for about 30 minutes, then the skin is cleansed and a gel is applied for the imaging probe. Treatment. The transducer shows the skin layers on screen and delivers focused ultrasound over about 30–60 minutes. Areas close to bone, such as the jawline, can feel prickly or warm. Straight back to your day. Mild redness is common and usually fades within hours. Results: what to expect and when Right after treatment: some people notice slight tightening; mild redness is normal. Months 2–3: lifting and firmness become visible as collagen renews. Months 3–6: results usually reach their peak. Months 6–12: the effect gradually fades with natural ageing; a repeat session maintains it. Results and timing vary from person to person. Even, well-planned coverage matters more for a natural result than simply using the maximum number of lines. Recovery, side effects and aftercare Ultherapy has very little downtime. The most common effects are redness or mild swelling that settles within hours to a few days, and tenderness or a bruised feeling along the jaw that can last a few days. Rarely, people experience temporary numbness, small bruises, welts or nerve irritation. Aftercare tips On the day of treatment, avoid saunas and jjimjilbang, hot baths, alcohol and strenuous exercise. Use sunscreen carefully for 1–2 weeks and avoid rubbing or scratching the treated area. Keep the skin well moisturised; makeup can usually be applied once the skin has calmed. Who should wait or avoid it Ultherapy is not recommended during pregnancy, over an active skin infection, open wound or severe acne in the area, or near metal implants or a pacemaker. Tell your doctor about any recent fillers, threads or other procedures in the area. Planning Ultherapy around a trip to Busan Because there is no real downtime, Ultherapy fits easily into a short stay. You can usually go sightseeing the same afternoon, and flying is generally fine, although jaw tenderness can feel more noticeable when chewing on the plane. Booking the treatment early in your trip gives you a few days to settle before you fly home. Share your flight date at the consultation so the plan fits your schedule. Ultherapy vs other lifting options Ultherapy : Focused ultrasound with real-time imaging. Best for: sagging cheeks, jowls and brows. Ultherapy PRIME : Newer Ultherapy platform with upgraded imaging. Best for: the same goals on the latest hardware. Thermage FLX : Monopolar radiofrequency heating the deep dermis. Best for: crepey skin and overall firmness. Shurink Universe : HIFU at set depths, without imaging. Best for: jawline and budget-friendly maintenance. In short, choose Ultherapy for an imaging-guided lift of deeper sagging, Thermage FLX when skin texture is the bigger concern, and Shurink Universe for more frequent, lower-cost upkeep between sessions. Frequently asked questions Does Ultherapy hurt? Most people describe it as warm, prickly pulses, strongest over bony areas. Numbing cream is applied beforehand to keep it comfortable. How many sessions will I need? One session is usually enough for a visible change. Many people repeat it every 6–12 months to maintain the result. Is 300 or 600 lines right for me? 300 lines generally focuses on priority areas such as the jawline and lower cheeks, while 600 lines covers the full face and under the chin more thoroughly. The right number depends on your degree of sagging and the areas you want treated. Thinking about Ultherapy in Busan?
