What Is Hyaluronic Acid (Filler) for Upright Ears?

Hyaluronic Acid (Filler) for Upright Ears is an ear cosmetic procedure using hyaluronic acid that has recently become popular in Korea. Also called “upright ear filler,” it adjusts the shape of the ears by injecting hyaluronic acid, helping create a face-slimming effect by bringing the facial contours and the way the ears appear closer to the desired appearance.

What characteristics define upright ears in the first place? Upright ears are ears in which the angle of the auricle—the entire visible skin-covered part of the ear—in relation to the temporal region is 30° or more. As a result, people with upright ears tend to have ears that appear to face forward when viewed from the front. Their cute appearance has attracted attention in recent years.

Ear reshaping has traditionally involved cosmetic surgery that partially cuts the ear to adjust its shape. However, Hyaluronic Acid (Filler) for Upright Ears can create an upright ear appearance without damaging the ear, through hyaluronic acid injections. The procedure also involves little pain and downtime. Because it uses hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body, it may provide long-lasting effects with relatively few risks.

Features of Hyaluronic Acid (Filler) for Upright Ears

Hyaluronic Acid (Filler) for Upright Ears has the following features. We will explain them one by one.

  • Create an upright ear appearance without cosmetic surgery
  • Little pain and downtime
  • May offer an immediate face-slimming effect

Create an upright ear appearance without cosmetic surgery

One feature of Hyaluronic Acid (Filler) for Upright Ears is that it can create an upright ear appearance without cosmetic surgery.

Treatment involving cosmetic surgery requires partially cutting the ear, which inevitably results in some downtime. In addition, because cosmetic surgery cannot be reversed once performed, deciding to change the ears to an upright appearance could be difficult.

However, the hyaluronic acid used in Hyaluronic Acid (Filler) for Upright Ears is gradually absorbed by the body over several years. This means you can choose either to maintain the upright ear appearance or to allow the ears to return to their original appearance.

Little pain and downtime

Hyaluronic Acid (Filler) for Upright Ears shapes the ears as desired by injecting hyaluronic acid. There is little pain during the procedure, although you may feel slight pain when the needle is inserted.

As for downtime, swelling and redness may appear for about one week but gradually subside. You will need to avoid activities that put pressure on the ears, such as wearing glasses or headphones and sleeping on your side. However, one benefit of Hyaluronic Acid (Filler) for Upright Ears is that you can generally resume daily life without making major changes after the procedure.

May offer an immediate face-slimming effect

With Hyaluronic Acid (Filler) for Upright Ears, the ears change to an upright appearance as soon as the procedure is complete. Accordingly, another appealing point is that the face-slimming effect associated with upright ears may be obtained immediately.

What Effects Can Be Expected from Hyaluronic Acid (Filler) for Upright Ears?

A face-slimming effect may be expected by creating an upright ear appearance

Hyaluronic Acid (Filler) for Upright Ears is a treatment that may create a face-slimming effect by making the ears stand out.

People with long faces—faces that are longer vertically than horizontally—often have features such as the eyes, nose, and mouth positioned farther apart vertically, which can make the face appear elongated. Upright ears may create a face-slimming effect by shifting this vertical impression toward a horizontal one.

The ears become visible from beneath the hair, enhancing cuteness

By changing the ears to an upright appearance with Hyaluronic Acid (Filler) for Upright Ears, the ears become visible from beneath the hair, which may enhance cuteness.

The upright ear appearance created with Hyaluronic Acid (Filler) for Upright Ears may bring the face closer to a “Wanghong look,” an appearance resembling a Chinese beauty that combines cuteness with a mature impression.

Procedure Flow for Hyaluronic Acid (Filler) for Upright Ears

The procedure using Hyaluronic Acid (Filler) for Upright Ears is performed as follows.

 1.Consultation and examination

The ears may remain swollen for about one week after the procedure, but the swelling gradually subsides. Please refrain from wearing items such as glasses and hats that may put pressure on the ears for approximately one month. Also, please be careful when sleeping, as lying on your side may put pressure on the ears.

Effective Treatment Interval and Number of Sessions for Hyaluronic Acid (Filler) for Upright Ears

It is possible to maintain an upright ear appearance by continuing treatment with Hyaluronic Acid (Filler) for Upright Ears once a year.

Although the timeframe varies depending on the area of the body injected and the type of product used, hyaluronic acid is generally gradually absorbed by the body over a period ranging from several months to several years.
