Non surgical options for lower lid retraction?

Question

Hello Doctors, Is there any non surgical option for lower lid retraction. I am 32y old.

Mehryar (Ray) Taban, MD, FACS · Answer

It depends on the cause and amount of the retraction and your specific anatomy. Sometimes, filler injection can help lift the lower eyelids. Best to see an oculoplastic specialist for evaluation.

Nonsurgical options for treatment are usually best performed early in the diagnosis of eyelid retraction. These nonsurgical methods include simple massage of the lower eyelid with a finger and or dilute steroid injections. Again best accomplished within three months of the initial diagnosis in my opinion.

Depending of your eyelid is retracted secondary to trauma or if this cosmetic, there are many options you have to choose from.  Non-surgically, 5-fluorouracil is a great option for post surgical trauma retraction. Cosmetically, filler can hep with mild asymmetry. There are also a plethora of surgical options as well. Good luck!

The short answer is yes it is possible but you would really need to explain the entire history and provide photos before anyone can give you an accurate answer.  If it's just after lower lid surgery, 5FU and eyelid stretching can be used. In certain other scenarios fillers can be used in place of fat to bolster the lower lid.  Really difficult to tell without more information unfortunately
