Be very cautious with upper eyelid injections

Shahram Salemy, MD answers: Injectable fillers for hollow upper eyelids?

I had Blepharoplasty done 4 years ago (28 years old) but my upper eyelids are so hollow I look like I'm 45! Can juvederm be used to fill out this area?

Regardless of what is injected, the upper eyelid needs to be approached with caution. The anatomy is very delicate and unforgiving, so make sure to go with someone with a lot of experience with injections in this area.

That being said, fat or Restylane can work very well, and there are pluses and minuses to each option.

Meet with an experienced surgeon in your area, or perhaps more than just one, listen to his or her thoughts, and pick the individual you feel the most comfortable with.
