Sunken Eyelid Filler in Seoul

Sunken Eyelid Filler explained

Sunken eyelids, also called hollow upper eyelids, can make the eyes look tired or older. They can come from ageing, weight loss, genetics or past eyelid surgery. Filler adds a little volume to smooth out the hollow.

How Sunken Eyelid Filler works

The doctor places a small amount of soft hyaluronic acid filler under the brow and into the hollow of the upper eyelid, usually with a blunt cannula. The filler restores a smoother curve. The eye area has blood vessels connected to the eye itself, so very small amounts and careful technique are used. HA filler can be dissolved if needed.

Sunken eyelid filler usually costs about ₩200,000–₩500,000 in Seoul. The total depends on the filler brand and the amount used.

Does eyelid filler hurt?

Numbing cream and a blunt cannula keep pain low. Most people feel pressure and a short sting at the entry point.

How long does sunken eyelid filler last?

It usually lasts about 6–12 months. Some people find it lasts longer because the area moves less than the lips.

Is sunken eyelid filler safe?

It is generally safe with an experienced doctor, but the eye area is higher risk. Rare blocked blood vessels can affect vision, so report any pain or vision change right away.

Can filler fix uneven double eyelids?

In some cases, hollowness makes the eyelid fold uneven, and filler can help. Other causes need different treatment, so a doctor should assess the eyelid first.
