👁️ Aegyo-sal Filler After Eye Surgery – Is It Safe and Effective?

Many patients who’ve undergone eye surgery in Korea — such as canthoplasty, blepharoplasty, or under-eye fat repositioning — later ask:“Can I still get aegyo-sal filler safely?”

Let’s dive into how surgical history affects filler results, what types of eye procedures matter most, and how to design safe, natural results.

How Eye Surgery and Aegyo-sal Filler Are Connected

Eye surgery and aegyo-sal filler share the same anatomical region — the delicate lower eyelid area.Even small incisions or scar tissue from past procedures can influence how filler spreads beneath the skin.

Just as nose filler is affected by rhinoplasty or chin filler by genioplasty, eye fillers can also behave differently after eyelid surgery.That’s why it’s crucial to tell your doctor about any previous eye procedures before treatment.

Eye Surgeries That Can Affect Aegyo-sal Filler Results

1. Epicanthoplasty (Inner Corner Surgery)

Modern methods rarely cause problems, but older “Magic Epicanthoplasty” techniques often leave internal scar tissue that prevents smooth filler distribution.

2. Lower Canthoplasty (Outer or Lower Corner Extension)

After this surgery, filler may not form a smooth line along the lower eyelid edge — especially if there’s adhesion in the outer corner.

3. Under-eye Blepharoplasty

If performed with external incisions, scar tissue can cause uneven filler texture or bumpy lines post-procedure.

4. Transconjunctival Fat Repositioning

This technique spares the outer skin and doesn’t disturb the aegyo-sal layer, so aegyo-sal filler is typically safe and effective afterward.

5. Fat Grafting in the Aegyo-sal Area

When fat has been grafted directly under the lower eyelid, fibrotic tissue forms around the fat cells.This can restrict filler space and cause uneven contours, so extra caution is needed.

Does It Mean You Should Avoid Aegyo-sal Filler After Surgery?

Not necessarily!It depends on your healing condition, surgical method, and your doctor’s experience.

Some clinics may advise against it, while others — especially those with experience in post-surgery correction cases — can safely perform aegyo-sal filler using ultra-fine cannulas and minimal product.

💬 “For patients with previous blepharoplasty or fat grafting, I start with micro-volumes,” says Dr. Kim, a Seoul-based dermatologist.“The goal is not fullness, but natural animation when smiling.”

Design Tips for Post-Surgery Aegyo Filler

If you’ve had eye surgery, remember: less is more.

• Don’t aim for visible aegyo-sal when expressionless.

• Focus on a soft contour that appears naturally when smiling.

• Avoid filling to the outer corner (can accentuate surgical adhesions).

• Always use dissolvable HA fillers to ensure reversibility.

This subtle approach minimizes unevenness and keeps results elegant.
