How to get aegyo sal – 3 most effective ways

Made popular by Koreans, and seen on every Korean star and idol, these “fats” beneath your eyes makes you look younger and makes your eyes smile. Yes, we are talking about aegyo sal aka love bands!

Not to be confused with eye bags, aegyo sal is the pocket of fat found directly under your eyes. These love bands apparently gives you a youthful, cute and innocent look while the latter (undereye bags), have the opposite effect, making you look older, tired and grumpy.

Now, don’t go try turning your eye bags into aegyo sal, because it doesn’t work like that. That said, if you don’t have them, here’s the good news, – these lovely half-moon shaped love bands can be created. In fact, there are tons of aegyo sal tutorials on youtube teaching you how to fake it. But depending on your makeup skills, you could create eye bags instead though.

However, if you want to have these eye love bands in a more permanent way, here are 3 most effective ways to create aegyo sal easily and beautifully.

Aegyo sal VS eye bags

Contrary to popular belief, aegyo sal is not referring to those pesky under eye bags that we all get from aging. These love bands are kinda like the contours that frame the lower eyelids. They are a sign of youth and can make your eye look bigger and brighter.

If you have undereye bag, you might want to consider getting under eye fat repositioning surgery for your eye bags as well. Anyhow, here’s how to differentiate your love bands from your eye bags:

3 most effective ways to get aegyo sal

1. Aegyo sal fillers

Aegyo sal can be achieved with hyaluronic acid fillers for those who do not want to go under the knife. Fillers are injected right underneath the eye until the desired plumpness is achieved. There are hardly any side effects and almost no recovery time needed so you can resume your daily activities immediately.

Although aegyo sal fillers are temporary and lasts around 6~12 months, fillers are actually the most preferred method as it can produce very natural results and is easily reversible if you don’t like the results.

2. Fat grafting for aegyo sal

Apart from fillers, eye love bands can also be created by fat grafting. Fat grafting is done by harvesting fat tissues from a different area of your face and/or body through liposuction and then injecting the fats right underneath your eyes.

Though results from fat grafting can last anywhere from 5~10 years (if done at least 2 times), there is a risk that it look firm and lumpy. Also, as fats can move around, there is a chance that your love bands could go out of position and move to the sides.

3. Aegyo sal surgery

You surgeon will first make a small incision in the lower area of the eyes where the artificial dermis (fake skin tissue) will be inserted and fixed into place, creating the eye love bands. Results are immediate but be prepared for minor bruising and swelling up to at least a week.

Conclusion

If you think that aegyo sal is a trend, let me tell you that there is no doubt it is not. And if you don’t have it, getting eye love bands is like getting a small change that can make a big difference. It may be a very simple procedure, but this is one small procedure can do so much to the appearance of your eyes and your whole face itself.

And if you have decided to get it, fillers are, to be honest, the best option for creating aegyo sal. Because of its natural-looking results and no downtime, it is no doubt the most popular choice. Plus you can easily remove it if you don’t like the results.

That said, although having these eye love bands can make you look younger, cuter and more innocent, having too much of it makes your eyes unnatural-looking and out-of-proportion. Therefore, whether you are planning to get fillers or fat grafting or surgery for it, do make sure to consult a professional doctor who is highly skilled and well-trained for the best results!
