Use fillers for hollow eyelids very conservatively

Wilfred Brown, 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?

Yes, however it should be given very sparingly. If too much is given, one may develop excessive "puffiness". Small amounts can be given beneath the skin to increase the volume, especially in the inner aspect of the eyelid. The Juvederm is given with a very fine needle, and may require several injection sessions to achieve the desired results. The effect of the Juvederm may last up to 1 year.
