What Is Non-Surgical Face Contouring in Gangnam?
Non-surgical face contouring at RE:BERRY Gangnam combines masseter Botox jawline slimming from ₩29,000, Sculptra collagen stimulation at ₩590,000 per vial, Radiesse structural contouring at ₩990,000, and absorbable thread lifting from ₩200,000 per line to reshape the jawline, chin, and mid-face into a natural V-line silhouette without incisions or general anesthesia.
Non-surgical face contouring refers to a category of injectable, energy-based, and thread-based procedures that reshape facial proportions without surgical bone reduction, implants, or cutting. At RE:BERRY Gangnam, Medical Director Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu designs multi-modality non-surgical face contouring protocols that address the three layers responsible for facial shape: muscle volume (masseter Botox), structural scaffolding (Radiesse and chin fillers), and skin laxity (thread lifting and Sculptra). Korean aesthetic medicine pioneered the V-line face contouring concept, and Gangnam clinics have refined these non-surgical approaches over two decades to deliver results that rival surgical procedures for appropriate candidates. By combining 3-4 modalities in a single session or staged protocol, Dr. Ryu creates harmonious facial contours that are tailored to each patient’s bone structure, fat distribution, and aesthetic preferences. Non-surgical face contouring at RE:BERRY Gangnam is especially popular among international visitors who want dramatic jawline and chin improvement without the 4-8 week recovery required by surgical V-line osteotomy, and who prefer to fly home within 2-3 days after treatment.

How Non-Surgical Face Contouring Works at RE:BERRY Gangnam
Our four-step face contouring protocol combines precise facial analysis, customized modality selection, layered treatment execution, and structured follow-up to achieve balanced V-line facial proportions.
3D Facial Analysis & Contouring Plan
Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu performs a comprehensive facial assessment measuring jawline width, chin projection, mid-face volume, and masseter muscle thickness. Using proportional analysis based on the ideal facial thirds and the golden ratio framework common in Korean aesthetic medicine, he designs a customized non-surgical face contouring plan that may combine 2-4 modalities including Botox, fillers, Sculptra, Radiesse, and thread lifting to achieve your desired facial silhouette.
Topical Anesthesia & Marking
Numbing cream is applied 20-30 minutes before the non-surgical face contouring procedure. Dr. Ryu marks precise injection points for Botox units, filler placement zones, thread insertion lines, and Sculptra distribution areas. This careful mapping ensures symmetrical results and avoids critical vascular structures. For thread lifting components, entry and exit points are marked along the desired lifting vectors.
Multi-Modality Non-Surgical Face Contouring Procedure
Non-surgical face contouring treatments are performed in a specific sequence optimized for safety and efficacy. Thread lifting is placed first to create the structural framework. Radiesse or Sculptra provides structural volumization at the periosteal level. Hyaluronic acid fillers refine surface contours and address specific hollows. Finally, masseter Botox is injected to slim the jawline over the following 4-6 weeks. Total procedure time ranges from 45-90 minutes depending on the combination.
Recovery & Follow-Up Assessment
Post-procedure cooling and gentle compression are applied to treated areas. Most patients experience mild swelling for 2-5 days, with bruising possible at injection sites. A follow-up assessment at 4-6 weeks evaluates the full non-surgical face contouring result, as masseter Botox reaches peak effect and Sculptra stimulates collagen production. Dr. Ryu may recommend minor refinements at this stage for optimal V-line symmetry.
What to Expect from Non-Surgical Face Contouring at RE:BERRY Gangnam

The Science Behind Non-Surgical Face Contouring
Peer-reviewed research supporting the mechanisms and clinical efficacy of injectable and thread-based non-surgical face contouring techniques used at RE:BERRY Gangnam.
Masseter Botox for Jawline Contouring: Mechanism
Botulinum toxin type A injection into the masseter muscle is the foundation of non-surgical face contouring for jawline slimming. The toxin blocks acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, causing selective muscle atrophy over 4-12 weeks. As the masseter reduces in volume, the lower face transitions from a square or round shape to a narrower, V-line profile. Studies demonstrate that 25-50 units per side produces measurable masseter volume reduction of 20-30% on ultrasound imaging, with peak slimming effect at 12 weeks. The procedure is particularly effective for patients with masseter hypertrophy — a condition common in East Asian populations due to dietary and habitual factors. At RE:BERRY Gangnam, Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu uses ultrasound-guided injection to ensure precise Botox placement within the masseter belly while avoiding adjacent structures.
Biostimulatory Fillers: Sculptra and Radiesse in Face Contouring
Biostimulatory fillers represent the structural layer of non-surgical face contouring. Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid / PLLA) stimulates type I collagen synthesis over 2-6 months, creating gradual, natural volume restoration in the mid-face, temples, and jawline. Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite / CaHA) provides immediate structural lift and also stimulates neocollagenesis, making it ideal for chin augmentation and cheek contouring. A systematic review of 1,192 patients found Sculptra produced significant improvements in mid-face volume with a mean duration of 25.2 months, while Radiesse maintained structural support for 12-15 months with concurrent collagen induction. These biostimulatory agents create a natural scaffolding effect that supports overlying hyaluronic acid fillers and complements Botox-based jawline slimming.
Thread Lifting for Non-Surgical Face Contouring
Absorbable thread lifting using PDO (polydioxanone) or PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid) threads provides mechanical lift and collagen stimulation for non-surgical face contouring. Barbed threads are inserted subcutaneously along predetermined vectors to physically reposition sagging tissue and create a lifted V-line jawline contour. As threads absorb over 6-12 months, they leave behind a collagen scaffold that maintains the lift for an additional 6-12 months. A meta-analysis of 17 studies involving 1,416 patients confirmed that absorbable thread lifting produces statistically significant improvement in facial laxity scores with minimal complication rates when performed by experienced practitioners. RE:BERRY Gangnam uses next-generation PLLA threads that produce stronger collagen stimulation than traditional PDO, extending the duration of non-surgical face contouring results.
Clinical Evidence for Multi-Modality Non-Surgical Face Contouring
The combination approach used at RE:BERRY Gangnam is supported by growing clinical evidence showing superior outcomes when multiple face contouring modalities are combined versus single-modality treatment. Kim et al. demonstrated that masseter Botox combined with chin filler augmentation produced significantly higher patient satisfaction scores (87.4%) than either treatment alone (62.1% and 71.3%, respectively). Wu et al. published a prospective study on combined thread lifting with botulinum toxin for lower face contouring, reporting 91% patient satisfaction at 6 months with no serious adverse events. The synergy between muscle reduction (Botox), structural support (fillers/threads), and collagen stimulation (Sculptra/Radiesse) addresses all anatomical layers contributing to facial shape.

What Our Patients Say About Non-Surgical Face Contouring
“I traveled from Bangkok specifically for non-surgical face contouring at RE:BERRY Gangnam. Dr. Ryu recommended masseter Botox combined with chin filler and 4 thread lines along my jawline. Within 6 weeks my face transformed from round to a natural V-line shape. My friends thought I had surgery but there were zero scars. The total cost was less than half what clinics in Bangkok quoted for a similar combination.”
“I was considering V-line surgery but Dr. Oh convinced me to try non-surgical face contouring first. She used Sculptra for my mid-face volume loss and Botox for my masseter muscles. After 3 months my face looks lifted, contoured, and 5 years younger. I am so glad I avoided surgery. The whole procedure took about 1 hour and I went shopping in Gangnam right after.”
“Best investment I have made. The Radiesse chin augmentation combined with jawline thread lifting completely changed my side profile. Dr. Ryu is incredibly precise — he spent 20 minutes just analyzing my face proportions before starting. 10 months later the results are still looking great.”
“As a male patient, I wanted a more defined jawline without looking overdone. The masseter Botox at 29,000 won was unbelievably affordable, and Dr. Ryu added just 1cc of filler to my chin for better projection. The result is masculine and angular — exactly what I wanted from non-surgical face contouring.”

Yes. RE:BERRY Gangnam offers customized non-surgical face contouring packages combining masseter Botox, structural fillers, and thread lifting. Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu designs packages based on your facial assessment, typically saving 15-20% compared to individual treatment pricing.
Non-surgical face contouring uses injectables and threads to reshape the face with 3-5 days downtime and no scarring, while surgical V-line involves bone cutting (mandibular osteotomy) requiring general anesthesia and 4-8 weeks recovery. Non-surgical results last 12-24 months versus permanent surgical changes. 85% of RE:BERRY Gangnam patients achieve satisfactory V-line improvement without surgery.
Masseter Botox at ₩29,000 slims a wide jaw by reducing muscle volume over 4-6 weeks, ideal for square-jaw patients. Jawline filler adds definition and projection to a weak jaw. Dr. Ryu often combines both at RE:BERRY Gangnam for comprehensive non-surgical face contouring — Botox narrows while filler defines.
Thread lifting is one component of non-surgical face contouring, providing mechanical lift along the jawline. At RE:BERRY Gangnam, Dr. Ryu typically combines thread lifting with masseter Botox and structural fillers for optimal V-line results. Thread lift alone addresses laxity but does not reduce jaw width or add chin projection.
92% of patients fly home within 48-72 hours after non-surgical face contouring. Mild swelling persists for 3-5 days but is easily concealed. We recommend staying in Seoul 2-3 days post-treatment for initial monitoring and provide WhatsApp follow-up support after you return home.
3-5 days of mild swelling is typical. Bruising at injection sites resolves within 5-7 days with arnica. Thread insertion sites heal within 3-4 days. Social downtime averages 3 days for most non-surgical face contouring patients. Makeup can be applied 24 hours after treatment to conceal any residual swelling.
Common temporary effects include mild swelling (3-5 days), bruising at injection sites (5-7 days), and slight tenderness along thread insertion lines (3-4 days). Rare complications include asymmetry (correctable with touch-up) or thread palpability (resolves as threads absorb). Serious complications are extremely rare at RE:BERRY Gangnam.
12-24 months depending on the combination. Masseter Botox lasts 4-6 months per session. HA fillers last 9-18 months. Sculptra collagen lasts 18-24 months. Radiesse lasts 12-18 months. Thread lifting effects persist 12-18 months. Regular maintenance extends non-surgical face contouring results indefinitely.
Filler and thread results are immediate. Masseter Botox jawline slimming appears gradually over 4-6 weeks. Sculptra collagen stimulation produces progressive improvement from month 2-6. Full multi-modality non-surgical face contouring transformation is visible at 6-8 weeks post-treatment.
1-2 sessions achieve significant improvement for most patients. The initial session combines 3-4 modalities. A follow-up at 4-6 weeks allows fine-tuning with additional filler or a second Botox session. 75% of RE:BERRY Gangnam patients achieve their desired V-line result in a single comprehensive session.
Pain is minimal with proper anesthesia. Topical numbing cream is applied 20-30 minutes before treatment. Most patients rate masseter Botox as 1-2 on a 10-point scale, filler as 2-3, and thread lifting as 3-4. The entire non-surgical face contouring procedure takes 45-90 minutes at RE:BERRY Gangnam.
Non-surgical face contouring at RE:BERRY Gangnam addresses 8 facial zones: jawline width (Botox), jaw angle (filler/thread), chin projection (Radiesse/filler), cheek volume (Sculptra/filler), temple hollows (Sculptra), nasolabial folds (filler), jowls (thread lift), and overall facial proportions.
Yes. 65% of international patients at RE:BERRY Gangnam combine non-surgical face contouring with complementary treatments like Thermage FLX for skin tightening, Ultherapy Prime for deep lifting, or skin boosters for glow. Dr. Ryu designs integrated protocols.

Yes. Double chin reduction is a key component of non-surgical face contouring. Dr. Ryu combines submental thread lifting for tissue repositioning with masseter Botox to slim the lower face. For excess submental fat, injectable lipolysis or Onda may be added to the protocol.
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) that stimulates your own collagen production over 2-6 months. At ₩590,000 per vial at RE:BERRY Gangnam, it gradually restores mid-face volume, smooths temple hollows, and creates natural-looking facial scaffolding that lasts 18-24 months — ideal for non-surgical face contouring.
Radiesse contains calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres that provide immediate structural support and stimulate collagen production. At ₩990,000 per syringe at RE:BERRY Gangnam, it excels at chin augmentation, jawline definition, and cheekbone contouring — areas requiring firm, bone-like projection in non-surgical face contouring.
Non-surgical face contouring is suitable for adults aged 20-65. Younger patients (20s-30s) typically need jawline slimming and chin enhancement. Patients 40+ often benefit from volume restoration and thread lifting. Dr. Ryu customizes every protocol based on age-specific facial anatomy changes.
