I got it last year at a place that was really popular on Babitalk as a good place for forehead filler. I had always been stressed about my flat forehead, so I booked an event promotion and went. It was an event for full volume 5 cc at 250,000 won.
But when I actually went for the consultation, they said the event-price filler only lasts 3-6 months, and that Chaeum is more suitable and more commonly used for forehead filler. They said the maintenance period is much longer too (6 months-1 year), so I changed to Chaeum. In the end, the estimate came out to 720,000 won for a total of 6 cc in the forehead + a total of 1 cc in the temples (0.5 cc on each side) + glabellar Botox,,, At the time I went thinking it would be around 300,000-400,000 won, so when I heard the estimate I was seriously shaken, but now apparently this place has gotten much more expensive..
I wanted it to look natural, so I went expecting about 3 cc would be enough, but the manager said I would probably need around 6 cc, so I was like, oh no. But once I got it done, it had just the right amount of volume and looked natural, so it was perfect. They said people usually get around 6 cc there. Also, they said most people get forehead Botox together when getting filler, and recommended that I get forehead Botox too. But I wasn’t really drawn to it, so I said I would only do the glabella, and I think that was the right choice! Once I got the filler, the skin stretched anyway and all the wrinkles disappeared. And at the end of the consultation, they said they would discount something or other~ I think they meant they would discount the price of the glabellar Botox, but I don’t remember the details. Personally, the consultation didn’t feel comfortable. It wasn’t direct, but there was a strong subtle feeling of being pushed, so I don’t know what it’s like now.
The most important thing, the shape, turned out natural and pretty. I kept emphasizing to the director that I didn’t want to become a headbutting dinosaur and asked for a natural look, and they molded it naturally and well. They were very gentle, calm, and kind, and their touch was delicate, so I remember receiving the procedure comfortably. They kept showing me the shape to check it throughout! Before the procedure, I had heard a lot from acquaintances that forehead filler hurts a lot, so I went expecting it to hurt, but maybe because it was done with local anesthesia, it didn’t hurt at all, and I kept having everyday conversation with the director during the procedure.
For reference, they said it would last 6 months-1 year, but I got it at the end of April 2021, and it is still there now in November 2022,, It seems like it has been maintained for almost 1 year and 6 months. The edges have gone down, but the middle part of the forehead and the area connecting to the glabella are still there. I actually like it, but I hope there’s no problem ㅇㅅㅇ
