Amanda, a 37-year-old American currently living and working in Ho Chi Minh City, chose lip filler injection at Kangnam Saigon Aesthetic Hospital to achieve fuller, plumper, and more attractive lips. Performed directly by Dr. Jolie Huynh, Dermatology Medical Director of the Kangnam System, Amanda’s lips had settled into a well-defined shape after just 7 days, looking naturally soft and harmonious with her facial features.
Currently living and working in the marketing field in Vietnam, Amanda always pays attention to her appearance so she can feel more confident in communication. Although she already had sharp and attractive facial features, she was still not fully satisfied with her lips:
Through recommendations from friends, Amanda decided to visit Kangnam Saigon Aesthetic Hospital. She was completely convinced by the hospital’s brand reputation, the quality of genuine filler products, and especially the extensive experience of the doctors there.

After directly examining Amanda, Dr. Jolie Huynh, with more than 15 years of specialized experience in Dermatology, conducted a comprehensive assessment of her soft tissue structure, lip proportions, and natural lip contour to determine the most optimal solution.
Professional indication: The doctor recommended using premium Hyaluronic Acid (HA) dermal filler. This is a safe solution with high biocompatibility, suitable for enhancing lip volume and shaping the lips according to Amanda’s desired look.
Treatment principle: The goal was to create fuller, plumper, and more alluring lips, define the lip border more clearly, and rebalance the proportion between the upper and lower lips. Dr. Jolie Huynh emphasized: “The lip area contains many tiny blood vessels. The injection technique requires absolute precision in both placement and filler dosage so that the lips remain soft after treatment while ensuring safety and minimizing the risk of complications.”
Amanda’s lip enhancement was performed in approximately 15–20 minutes through a strict medical-standard process.
Lip shape balancing: The doctor then gently adjusted and molded the lips on the spot to ensure the filler was evenly distributed, creating natural plumpness and an attractive projection for the lips.
Immediately after the injection, Amanda experienced mild swelling and a feeling of tightness in her lips. This is a normal physiological response of the body to dermal filler. The nursing team at Kangnam provided Amanda with detailed at-home aftercare instructions:
After approximately 3–5 days, Amanda’s swelling had noticeably reduced, and her lips began to settle into shape. By day 7, her lips had stabilized, with a more defined contour, balanced fullness between the upper and lower lips, and a naturally soft appearance when moving, smiling, and speaking.

Amanda shared her feelings after completing the recovery process: “What impressed me the most was that my lips did not feel stiff or look artificial, which was something I had been worried about before. Dr. Jolie carefully advised me on a lip shape that suited my face, without simply following trends, but instead focusing on overall harmony. I feel much more confident, especially even without makeup.”
Note: Aesthetic results may vary depending on each individual’s body condition and constitution.
