Upper Eyelid Hollow Filler in Apgujeong, Gangnam
Upper eyelid hollow filler at Live Young Clinic in Apgujeong, Gangnam softens a sunken area between the eyebrow and the upper eyelid crease, which can make eyes look tired or aged. Dr. Song evaluates the hollow with your eyes open, closed and while smiling, then places very small amounts of filler with great care to restore a gentle, rested fullness.
What is an upper eyelid hollow?
An upper eyelid hollow, sometimes called a sunken eyelid, is a dip between the brow bone and the eyelid crease. It can appear naturally, develop with age as fat around the eye diminishes, or become more noticeable after weight loss. The hollow can make the crease look irregular, the eyes look tired, and the brow bone seem more prominent.
Some people also notice that their double eyelid crease becomes uneven or multiplies as the upper lid hollows. Softening the hollow can make the eye area look calmer, more even and more youthful, without changing the character or shape of your eyes.
Is upper eyelid filler right for you?
This is one of the more delicate filler areas. It may suit people with a clearly sunken upper lid and good skin quality. It is often not suitable when the eyelid skin is very loose or droopy, because adding volume may make heaviness worse. Some people with eyelid surgery history also need special consideration. Dr. Song will be honest if another approach, or no treatment, would serve you better.
- Deep hollow under the brow bone
- Uneven or multiplying eyelid creases related to volume loss
- Tired appearance despite adequate rest
- Not ideal for significant skin droop
How Dr. Song approaches this delicate area
Needs Mapping here involves watching your eyes open, closed, looking up and while you smile, since the upper lid changes a great deal with expression. Dr. Song also assesses skin thickness, which is very thin in this region, and how the brow sits. The Curated Plan often calls for only a very small amount of product.
During Tailored Treatment, filler is placed slowly and precisely, with close attention to the anatomy around the eye. The aim is subtle support, restoring a soft, natural contour without puffiness or visible lumps, and keeping the crease and the shape of your eyes recognisably your own.
Safety and aftercare
Because the area around the eye is sensitive and contains important blood vessels, treatment should only be done by an experienced doctor. Temporary swelling, bruising and mild puffiness are relatively common around the eyes and typically settle as healing progresses. Serious complications, including those affecting vision, are rare but possible, so any change in vision or severe pain should be reported to the clinic immediately.
For the first days, avoid rubbing your eyes, pause eye makeup for a short time if advised, and skip saunas, strenuous exercise and alcohol for a few days. Gentle cool compresses may help with swelling, but always follow Dr. Song's specific instructions.

Frequently asked questions
Can filler fix droopy eyelids?
Filler adds volume; it does not lift loose eyelid skin. If your concern is mainly drooping, filler may not help and could make the lid look heavier. Dr. Song will assess whether your eyelid is hollow or lax before suggesting anything.
Is upper eyelid filler risky?
It is considered a delicate area because of nearby blood vessels and thin skin. With an experienced doctor, careful technique and genuine approved products, many people are treated without issue, but risks exist. Dr. Song explains them in English before treatment.
How much swelling should I expect?
Swelling around the eyes is common and varies by person. It is often more noticeable the first morning after treatment. Sleeping slightly elevated and avoiding heat can help. Dr. Song will advise you on what is normal.
Can I have this if I had double eyelid surgery?
Possibly, but previous surgery can change the anatomy of the lid and how filler behaves there. Dr. Song will review your history and examine the area in Apgujeong before deciding whether treatment is suitable.
When will I see the final result?
You will notice a difference soon after treatment, but the more settled result generally appears once swelling subsides. The timing differs between individuals, and Dr. Song may review the area before considering any adjustment.
