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.

  • Sleep with your head slightly raised for a night or two.
