Be very cautious with upper eyelid injections

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.... more

Use fillers for hollow eyelids very conservatively

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.

Use fillers on upper eyelids carefully

Whether we use fillers or your own fat, this area is extremely sensitive to any type of augmentation. It should be done only by someone with a great deal of experience and usually with Juviderm is done with 2 or more injections, so as not to create a lump.

Juvederm for hollow upper eyelids

This is a major problem after upper blepharoplasty. Juvederm is an excellent choice for filling in this deformity. It is best to seek a board certified plastic surgeon who is comfortable with these injections. I recommend starting with small amounts of juvederm injected over multiple sessions. Micro fat grafting is also a great choice, however, over-injection errors with fat are not so easy to reverse.

Fat Grafting for Hollow Eyelids

Many very attractive people (celebrities included) with hollow upper eyelids could look much younger and attractive with natural-looking fullness in their upper eyelids. The correction of hollow eyelids, when performed expertly by a plastic surgeon with considerable experience and expertise in structural fat grafting can provide a beautiful and natural looking result. My approach to upper eyelid surgery is to be conservative with skin excision, and to reserve excision of fat for... more

Fillers are excellent for filling eye area hollows

As we age, we lose volume in our face. This includes the upper eyelids, eyebrows, and orbit. Changes that make us look aged include not just skin drooping, but loss of volume in these areas, and hollowness around the eyes. Blepharoplasty surgery is designed to reduce fat in the orbit and tighten the skin of the eyelids. If you had a blepharoplasty that removed a lot of orbital fat, then it may make you appear very hollow. This may make you look a lot older than you really are. You are right... more

Possible but very technical to inject upper eyelids with filler

Injection of any filler could be done for hollow upper lids (A frame defomity). It is very important to choose a plastic surgeon very comfortable with this technique. I personally prefer fat as a filler.
