Quick answer
What is aegyo sal filler?
Aegyo sal (애교살) is the small roll of muscle and soft tissue just under the lower lashes that becomes fuller when you smile. Aegyo sal filler adds a very small amount of soft hyaluronic acid along this line to make it more defined, giving the eyes a brighter, friendlier, more youthful look.
It is a distinctly Korean aesthetic and is popular in Seoul. Aegyo sal is different from an eye bag: it sits right at the lash line, while bags sit lower. If you have a hollow below, it may be combined with tear trough filler.

FAQ
Aegyo sal filler questions
Is aegyo sal the same as an eye bag?
No. Aegyo sal is a slim roll directly under the lashes; eye bags are lower and caused by fat or fluid.
How much filler is used?
Very little — often well under 0.5 ml for both sides.
Will it look natural?
Yes, when kept slim. Overfilling can look puffy, so we start conservatively.
Can it be removed?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase.
Do foreigners pay more?
No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
