Im already freaked out by needles. Im considering an under eye filler for eye bags but i was wondering can my eyes be closed while getting injected?
Answer: Eyes closed during filler injection? Alexis, of course you can close your eyes during the injection if that makes you feel more comfortable. It would help, however, at some point during the treatment to see you upright and with eyes open so that we can see how the filler will look on you after the treatment. This can be done without a needle or cannula in the skin.I usually use a microcannula, which is not a needle because the tip is blunt, to place filler under the eyes. This prevents bruising or trauma to small nerves. This would probably make you feel a lot better about the procedure.If I can answer any more questions, please let me know. All the best, Dr. Clark

CONTACT NOW Answer: Filler Injections and Eyes Typically, it is better to have your eyes open and looking up during treatment because the eye bags come forward and you can see the trough and orbital rim more. I suggest going to someone who does filler injections with cannula, it works very well in this area, has almost no pain and the swelling and bruising is minimal. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Eyes Wide Shut for Injection of Fillers Under the Eyes Hi Alexis,Of course not. We actually ask our patients to close their eyes during injections around the eyes and the face. It helps when the patient looks upwards prior to injection to see where the maximum area of hollowness is located, but not necessary during injection. The lower eye lid area is a delicate and unforgiving area so do choose your injecting physician most carefully. Good luck and be well.Dr. P

Answer: Undereye filler treatments It's perfectly fine to close your eyes during the injections. However, it is helpful to evaluate your undereye eye during/ after the treatment from all positions and with your eyes open and closed. However, if you're more comfortable with your eyes closed while the injections are being performed, that is OK. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Eyes Open or Closed During Filler Injections Hi Alexis. It is not necessary to have your eyes open during filler injections in the tear trough areas. Sometimes with the eyes open, or looking upwards it will accentuate the tear trough area and help guide precise placement. Also, if a patient has really long eyelashes it can get in the way of the injections and for that reason sometimes it is needed to keep your eyes open briefly. If you are freaked out by needles then I recommend finding an injector who uses the microcannula technique. It helps make the injections much more comfortable and is associated with less risk of bruising and swelling. Hope this helps answer your question!
