Shoulder Filler uses hyaluronic acid filler to refine the shoulder line, taking into account the proportions and any asymmetry of the neck, collarbones, and shoulders.
We first assess shoulder slope, muscle condition, and your desired silhouette.
Shoulder Filler uses hyaluronic acid filler to refine the shoulder line, taking into account the proportions and any asymmetry of the neck, collarbones, and shoulders. We first assess shoulder slope, muscle condition, and your desired silhouette. During consultation, we discuss the product, injection volume, and whether to combine treatment with trapezius botulinum toxin injections. Results and recovery vary by product, treatment area, and individual.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Composition/Principle | High-viscosity cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler. Fills in areas lacking volume along the shoulder/collarbone line to adjust proportions |
| Suitable candidates | Those who want “right-angle shoulders,” those who want to refine narrow-looking shoulders and the face-neck-shoulder proportions, left-right shoulder height differences |
| Procedure time | About 30–40 minutes |
| Anesthesia/pain level | Topical anesthesia. Whether lidocaine is included depends on the product. Mainly a sense of pressure; a stinging sensation where the needle enters |
| Onset of effect | Immediate (the actual result appears after swelling subsides in 1–2 weeks) |
| Duration | Varies by product, volume, area, and individual response. Guidance is given before the procedure based on the product to be used |
| Recommended frequency/interval | Touch-up if needed 1–2 weeks after the first session |
| Downtime | Swelling 3–7 days, bruising 7–14 days |
| Main side effects | Swelling, bruising, tenderness, left-right asymmetry, nodules. Vascular complications possible |
| Products used | Explained before the procedure; the actual volume used may vary during the procedure |
Even with the same procedure, results differ because starting points differ. WayB checks three things first.
| Stage | What is checked | What is decided |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Proportion check | Neck-collarbone-shoulder proportion, left-right difference, desired silhouette | Target line |
| 2. Volume/area design | Where and how much is needed | Product and volume (decided after consultation) |
| 3. Combination option review | Muscle condition, contraindications, schedule | Whether to combine trapezius Botulinum Toxin |
Stage 3 is especially important. If volume is added to the shoulder alone while the trapezius is well-developed, the line may look thicker. In this case, the muscle is addressed first before deciding on volume.
Because the shoulder has a large surface area, the volume tends to be larger than for the face. It is important not to exceed the necessary range.
Fillers can cause bruising, swelling, pain, asymmetry, nodules, and vascular complications; Botulinum Toxin can cause muscle weakness and difficulty with movement. Symmetry or change in neck length is not guaranteed, and prior consultation and guidance are required.
Duration depends on the product, volume, area, and individual response, so we go over the specifics for the product you’ll be using before the procedure.
If the trapezius is well-developed or tension is high, it is often planned together. Since it takes 2–4 weeks for the muscle’s strength to diminish, the order and interval are decided during the consultation.
It depends on the type and intensity. If you frequently lift heavy weights, trapezius Botulinum Toxin is judged carefully.
About 3–7 days, and if bruising occurs it lasts 1–2 weeks. The actual line is judged after 1–2 weeks.
We assess your current shoulder shape against the change you want and explain in advance the range and limits possible with a single procedure. The product to be used is explained beforehand, and the actual volume used may vary during the procedure. Whether additional touch-up is needed is decided after the swelling subsides, based on progress.
