Body HA Filler

Body HA filler at Delight restores volume in the shoulder and buttock using Juvéderm and Belotero — the same two-brand stock used for face filler. Shoulder filler rebalances the head-to-shoulder ratio so the face appears proportionally smaller. Buttock filler restores volume after weight loss or GLP-1 deflation. V-OLET is not used for these zones (separate page).

Overview

Body hyaluronic acid (HA) filler in Gangnam — shoulder volume for face-balance and buttock volume restoration with Juvéderm and Belotero, the two brands Dr. Yun uses in clinic.

Best for

  • Shoulder volume loss or naturally narrow shoulders
  • Buttock deflation after weight loss, GLP-1, or aging
  • Asymmetric shoulder or buttock contour
  • Non-surgical, partially-reversible alternative to fat grafting / implants
  • Post-childbirth gluteal contour change
  • Adults seeking durable but non-permanent volume (12-18 months/session)

Suited for

  • Adults of legal age (19+); most body filler patients are 30+
  • Patients seeking shoulder volume for face-balance optical effect
  • Post-GLP-1 / post-bariatric / post-weight-loss gluteal deflation
  • Comfortable with 12-18 month durability and periodic top-ups
  • International patients with 2-3 day review window post-injection
  • Patients accepting meaningful per-session cc (4-10 cc shoulder · 10-30 cc buttock)
  • Patients wanting lower downtime vs fat grafting / implants
  • Multi-language consultation available; female staff on request.
Duration

Shoulder 30-45 min per side

Buttock 45-75 min per side

Consultation + injection + review 90-120 min total for bilateral

Sessions

1 session per zone

refresh every 12-18 months (shoulder) / 12-24 months (buttock) depending on volume and patient activity

Downtime

Shoulder same-day return to non-strenuous activity

Buttock 48-72 hours minimize prolonged sitting before long flights

Peak result

2-4 weeks after swelling settles

02

Timeline

  1. Day 0

    Visible volume on the table. Shoulder swelling subtle; buttock swelling more noticeable 48-72h.

  2. Day 1-3

    Swelling peaks 24-48h; possible bruising at cannula entry.

  3. Week 1-2

    Swelling resolves; closer-to-true outcome visible at 2 weeks.

  4. Month 1

    Settled appearance; top-up possible if under-corrected.

  5. Month 6

    Volume retained — body zones hold longer than mobile face zones.

  6. Month 12-18

    Gradual loss; buttock often holds longer (18-24 months) than shoulder.

  7. Long-term

    10-year cumulative cost reviewed at consultation. Surgical alternatives discussed when better-fit.

Process

  1. 01

    Consultation + body-zone analysis. Photographic baseline + goal discussion. Alternatives (Radiesse hyperdilute / ONDA / surgical referral) discussed when better-fit.

  2. 02

    Product selection — Juvéderm Voluma / Volux for projection · Belotero Volume for diffuse augmentation. Anatomy-based.

  3. 03

    Topical lidocaine 30-45 min. Most HA products contain integrated lidocaine.

  4. 04

    22G blunt cannula default. Shoulder: deep subdermal / supraperiosteal over deltoid. Buttock: deep subcutaneous fat — NOT intramuscular.

  5. 05

    Slow low-pressure injection, < 0.5 mL aliquots, real-time symmetry check.

  6. 06

    Vascular safety check (blanching / dusky color / disproportionate pain). Patient walks and sits briefly before discharge.

  7. 07

    Written record of brand, lot, expiry, zone, volume, instrument provided. 4-week follow-up scheduled.

We refuse to delegate injectables and energy devices to non-physician staff — every patient is treated by a board-certified dermatologist.

Aftercare

  1. Day 0 (first 4h)

    Cold compress 10-min intervals. No pressure or massage. Buttock: avoid prolonged sitting; sleep on stomach or side tonight.

  2. Day 1-3

    No alcohol, vigorous exercise, sauna, hot yoga. Buttock: minimize prolonged sitting.

  3. Day 3-7

    Bruising concealable under clothing. Resume light exercise Day 5+. Heavy gluteal exercise waits to Week 2. Report worsening pain, color change, or fever.

  4. Week 2-4

    Final result at 4-week visit. Resume full exercise. Avoid RF / HIFU on treated zone for 4 weeks.

  5. Long-term

    Annual review. Report new lump, tenderness, color change, or systemic illness (vaccine / dental / surgery) — late-onset nodules can be triggered months to years after.

FAQ

Which brands do you use for body filler?

Juvéderm (Allergan) and Belotero (Merz) — the same narrow stock as face filler. V-OLET has its own page and is not used here. Lot number recorded in your written handover.

Is this a non-surgical BBL?

No. Fat grafting transfers 300-800 cc/side; HA filler 10-30 cc/side delivers visible but modest projection. For surgical-scale augmentation we refer to plastic surgery.

How does shoulder filler make my face look smaller?

Optical / proportional effect. Wider deltoid line rebalances head-to-shoulder ratio so the face appears proportionally smaller. Deep-plane cannula technique minimizes migration.

Where is the buttock filler injected — muscle or fat?

Deep subcutaneous fat, NOT intramuscular. Intramuscular gluteal injection carries fatal embolism risk via gluteal veins. We use 22G blunt cannula, slow low-pressure injection, small aliquots.

How long does body HA filler last?

Shoulder 12-18 months (Voluma) · buttock 12-24 months (Volux / Belotero Volume). Heavy exercise, weight change, or high zone-use shorten persistence.

How many cc do I need?

Shoulder: 4-10 cc/side typical first session. Buttock: 10-30 cc/side. We do NOT inject > 50 cc/side/session — beyond that we refer to plastic surgery.

Is body filler reversible?

Partially via hyaluronidase. Belotero dissolves readily; VYCROSS (Voluma / Volux) more resistant. Hyaluronidase does not reverse fibrotic capsule, granuloma, or tissue stretch.

Can I sit after buttock filler?

Avoid prolonged sitting 48-72h. Short sitting is fine. Sleep on stomach or side first night. Defer long-haul flights 48-72h. Walking encouraged; light exercise Day 5+; heavy gluteal exercise Week 2+.

Both shoulders + both buttocks in one trip?

Shoulders bilateral in one session is standard. Buttocks bilateral possible (90-120 min). All four zones in one trip usually split across two sessions 2-3 days apart.

Body HA vs Radiesse hyperdilute?

HA adds volume. Radiesse hyperdilute is a skin-quality / laxity tool that tightens crepey skin but doesn't project volume. Dr. Yun will tell you which bucket your goal falls into.

Hand dorsum or décolletage — same page?

No. Hand dorsum + décolletage volume routes to Radiesse — see /procedures/radiesse-seoul/.

Will you decline treatment if I don't need it?

Yes. We routinely recommend no treatment, surgical referral, Radiesse, ONDA, or weight stabilization when filler is not the right tool. First sessions are conservative; we don't 'finish' you in one visit.

What is BDD screening?

Body dysmorphic disorder is a psychiatric condition documented around gluteal augmentation. We screen at consultation; when filler will not solve the underlying concern, we decline respectfully.

10-year cost framing?

Body filler uses more cc/session than face — per-session cost is higher and cumulative cost over a decade is meaningful. We provide a written 10-year quote at consultation. For some patients, surgical fat grafting works out cheaper per year of effect.

Notice

Tell the dermatologist at consultation if any of the following apply.

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Active skin infection or recent major dental work at the injection zone
  • Known hypersensitivity to hyaluronic acid, lidocaine, or BDDE
  • Active autoimmune flare, bleeding disorder, or therapeutic anticoagulation — reviewed
  • Recent weight fluctuation over 5 kg in 3 months — defer until stable
  • Intramuscular gluteal injection requests or volumes over 50 cc per side — referred to plastic surgery
  • Surgical-scale buttock augmentation expectations — declined respectfully

For your visit

  • Single Seoul trip = one session. Inject day 2-3, review day 4-5 before flying.
  • Shoulder: same-day sightseeing OK. Buttock: avoid prolonged sitting 48-72h before long flights.
  • Multi-language consultation available; clinic in Gangnam.
  • Written handover (brand · lot · zone · volume · cannula · Dr. Yun signature + clinic stamp).
  • Itemized quote at consultation in KRW with USD / JPY / SGD estimate. No hidden fees.
