Can under-eye filler make my eyes symmetrical again? (photos)

Question

I had a lower blepheroplasty with fat repositioning in November (6 months ago). I've noticed that my eyes are not entirely symmetrical. One of them seems more hollow underneath than the other. Could under-eye filler correct this (make the right eye smaller and have my under eye areas match)?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

this can only be fixed surgically however botox under the eye on the side that is less "open" may help.  filler will only Improve the hollows but will not help the shaping of your eyes.  sometimes I use threads and Its successful. its really hard for most people to appreciate what you see.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Under-eye filler can certainly help the hollowness you are seeing. It will not change the shape of the eye or alter how large it looks, but it will fill any emptiness under the eye. I recommend you consult with your dermatologist to see if this is the right option for you.

Yes! A common effect after blepharoplasty surgery is hollowness under the eyes. Even with the fat being repositioned, there can be sunken areas which require filler treatment to get a smooth contour. This is accomplished well with Restylane Refyne, which is my favorite choice to use under the eyes. Refyne is smooth, swells minimally, looks natural, and blends seamlessly. It may require 2-3 sessions to obtain complete correction, so be patient with the process and choose and experienced provider. Good luck!

Now that you've had your surgery you're paying a lot more attention to your face than ever before and you will see things that are not symmetrical. You have always had some form of a symmetry,vyou were just not aware of it until after your procedure had been performed. A small amount of hollowness can be corrected but I would not use fillers and instead consider doing fat grafting. In the hands of an experienced fat grafting plastic surgeon, the results are natural and nearly permanent. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery

Form your photos, it looks as if you would be an ideal candidate for undereye filler. I expect it would correct the subtle asymmetry you have very nicely.  Of course, to be certain, you need an in-person consultation. Be sure to seek the services of a Board Certified Dermatologist who specializes in advanced filler techniques. Best to you.
