Will getting filler above my eye create a hooded eye? (Photos)

Question

I have round eyes with a lid showing. If I get filler above my eye, will this create a hooded eye like the last photo I posted?

There can be some hooding effect with upper eyelid/brow filler injection. There is limitation based on individual anatomy. See an expert.

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your pictures and questions. I generally think that filler in the eyelids produces unnatural results. Before getting any injections, go see a local plastic surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery to discuss other options. Depending on your goals, there might be a small surgical option that will permanently fix your problem with minimal cost and down time.Hope this helps!Dallas R.

Hi, looks like you are interested in having filler to the superior sulcus, AKA hollowing of the upper eyelid/socket. This can be achieved with filler, however, I would visit an oculoplastic surgeon (who has best knowledge of eyelid anatomy) for best results.

With proper fillers and the good injection technique you can achieve a more hooded upper eyelid using fillers. In my personal opinion fat grafting works better and is more natural. Good luck from New York City
