Slim Nose Injection in Myeongdong & Euljiro at Val:U Dermatology Clinic
The Slim Nose Injection is a non-surgical injection intended to make a bulky nose tip or wide, fleshy nostrils look slimmer by reducing soft tissue in those areas. At Val:U Clinic in Myeongdong it starts from KRW 130,000 (VAT excluded). It does not change bone or cartilage, and results vary.

A rounded nose tip or broad, soft nostrils can make the whole nose look wider than its underlying structure. For people who want a subtle refinement without surgery, Val:U in Myeongdong offers the Slim Nose Injection, which targets the soft tissue around the tip and nostril wings. It is a small, focused treatment with modest, gradual effects, and it works most reliably when expectations are clear. The clinic is a few minutes on foot from Myeongdong and Euljiro 1-ga stations.
What can a slim nose injection change?
The width of the lower nose depends on cartilage shape, skin thickness and the amount of soft tissue and fat over the tip and nostril wings (alae). The Slim Nose Injection is aimed at that soft-tissue layer. When it responds, the tip or nostrils may look a little less bulky and more defined.
What it cannot do is equally important. It does not narrow the nasal bones, straighten a bump, raise the bridge or reshape cartilage. If you want more height or projection, nose filler is a separate option; for structural change, surgery would need to be considered elsewhere.
- May soften a fleshy, rounded nose tip
- May make thick nostril wings appear slimmer
- Does not change bone or cartilage
- Does not add height (see nose filler for that)
Who is a good candidate?
People with thicker, softer tissue over the tip or alae, rather than wide cartilage, tend to be the most suitable. The doctor examines the nose by touch and from several angles to estimate how much of the width is soft tissue.
It is generally not recommended if you have had recent nose surgery or filler in the area without a proper review, have active skin infection or inflammation on the nose, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. Share any history of nasal procedures so the doctor can assess safety.
Slim nose injection price in Myeongdong
At Val:U, the Slim Nose Injection starts from KRW 130,000, excluding 10% VAT. The final cost depends on the amount of product needed and whether more than one session is advised. The team will explain the full plan and total cost before your first injection.
If you are also considering nose filler for height, ask how the two might be sequenced. They target different layers and goals, and the doctor may suggest addressing one first so the effect of each is easy to judge on its own.
The procedure, step by step
After a consultation and photos, the nose is cleansed and a numbing cream or cooling may be used, as the nose tip can be sensitive. The doctor then injects small amounts into the targeted soft tissue with a fine needle. The appointment is short, and you can typically leave right away.
If more than one session is recommended, spacing is set by the doctor so each result can be assessed before continuing.
Before-treatment photos taken at the clinic help you compare accurately once swelling has settled, since small changes on the nose can be hard to notice in a mirror.
Side effects and aftercare
Redness, swelling, tenderness and minor bruising are common for a few days. The tip may feel firm or slightly numb temporarily. Less commonly, lumps, uneven results or skin irritation can occur. The nose has a delicate blood supply, so any increasing pain, blanching or color change of the skin should be reported to the clinic immediately.
Avoid pressing or squeezing the nose, wearing heavy glasses that rest on the treated area, saunas and intense exercise for the first day or two. Let swelling settle before judging the result.

Frequently asked questions
Can an injection make my nose smaller without surgery?
An injection can only affect soft tissue, so it may make a fleshy tip or thick nostrils look somewhat slimmer. It cannot shrink bone, narrow cartilage or change the overall structure. The doctor examines your nose to judge whether soft tissue is a meaningful part of the width.
How much is the slim nose injection at Val:U?
The Slim Nose Injection starts from KRW 130,000 excluding 10% VAT at Val:U in Myeongdong. The final price depends on the amount used and how many sessions are recommended. You will receive a total plan and quote after consultation, before any treatment begins.
Is the slim nose injection the same as nose filler?
No. Nose filler adds volume to raise the bridge or refine the tip's projection, while the Slim Nose Injection aims to reduce soft-tissue bulk around the tip and nostrils. Some people consider both, but they address different concerns and are planned separately.
How long does swelling last after a slim nose injection?
Mild swelling and redness usually settle within a few days, though the tip may stay slightly firm for a little longer. Because the nose is central on the face, swelling can feel more noticeable. Leave a buffer before photos or important events.
What warning signs should I watch for after treatment?
Contact the clinic promptly if you notice worsening pain, skin turning pale, gray or dusky, blistering, or signs of infection such as spreading redness and warmth. These are uncommon but need timely assessment. Mild swelling and tenderness, by contrast, are expected.
