Aegyo-sal Filler in Myeongdong, Seoul
Aegyo-sal is the soft roll just under the lower lashes that appears when you smile. A tiny amount of filler creates or enhances it, giving the bright, friendly eye-smile popular in Korea.
Quick answer
Aegyo-sal filler places a very small amount of soft hyaluronic acid, usually 0.2–0.4 ml for both eyes, just below the lower lash line to create a subtle roll that looks youthful and cheerful, especially when smiling. It is different from tear trough filler, which fills a hollow lower down. Treatment takes about 15 minutes, swelling settles in a few days and results last about 6–12 months.
What is aegyo-sal?
‘Aegyo’ means charm in Korean. The aegyo-sal is formed by a band of the eye muscle that bulges slightly when you smile. Some people have a prominent one naturally; filler can create a soft version that frames the eye. The shape should be thin and even; too much looks puffy.
Who is it for?
- People who want a brighter, younger-looking eye-smile.
- Good lower-lid tone without large bags.
- Not for puffy lower lids or a deep tear trough, which need under-eye filler instead.
How Obliv plans aegyo-sal filler
Your doctor asks you to smile, marks the natural roll, and plans a thin, even band that ends before the outer corner. A very soft filler is placed in tiny amounts with a fine needle or cannula.
| Typical volume | Usually 0.2–0.4 ml for both eyes |
|---|---|
| Technique | Thin, superficial band just below the lashes |
| Pairs well with | Under-eye filler, crow’s feet Botox |

Aegyo-sal creates a soft roll just under the lashes; tear trough filler fills the hollow groove lower down.

About 6–12 months.

Not when the band is thin and even. Overfilling causes puffiness, so we use very small amounts.
