👁️‍🗨️ What Is Aegyo Filler?

Aegyo filler is a cosmetic injectable treatment designed to create or enhance the under-eye “aegyo sal” — the gentle, youthful pad or puff below the lower eyelid that can make the eyes look softer, brighter, and more expressive.

It adds subtle volume to the under-eye area (just above the cheek), giving a gentle, rounded shadow rather than a deep hollow.

💉 How It Works

Consultation

• Assessment of facial structure and under-eye anatomy
• Discussion of desired look (subtle vs. more pronounced)
• Planning of injection points

Injection

• Soft hyaluronic acid filler is placed just beneath the skin along the lower orbital rim
• Very fine needles or blunt cannulas used for precision
• Procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes

After

• Gentle massage may be done to shape the filler
• Immediate visual effect

🎯 What It Helps

✔ Enhances the under-eye contour
✔ Creates a youthful shadow/pad
✔ Reduces the appearance of mild under-eye hollows
✔ Brightens eye area

Unlike corrective tear-trough filler (which targets deeper hollows and shadows), aegyo filler focuses on creating a gentle aesthetic pad for style and expression.

💰 Cost Considerations in Seoul

Pricing varies with:

• Amount and type of filler used
• Injector experience
• Clinic location
• English support (if requested)

In aesthetic hubs like central Seoul, filler treatments are typically moderately to premium priced compared with other cities.

🩹 Recovery & Aftercare

Immediately After

• Mild swelling or puffiness in treated area
• Possible slight redness or tenderness

First 24–48 Hours

• Swelling settles gradually
• Avoid rubbing or pressing on the area
• Avoid steam/sauna and intense workouts

First Week

• Minor bruising (if any) fades
• Final contour becomes clearer

Most people continue normal activities right away with minimal downtime.

⚠️ Risks & Side Effects

Common, mild effects:

• Temporary swelling
• Minor bruising or redness
• Slight firmness in the treated area

Be aware of rarer but important risks:

Seek prompt advice for intense pain, unusual skin color changes, or vision issues.

💡 Tips for Best Results

✔ Be clear about how subtle or defined you want the effect
✔ Expect some swelling that softens over a few days
✔ Avoid heavy pressure or facial treatments for 48–72 hrs
✔ Hydrate and follow aftercare instructions
