Can cheek filler make eyes look closer together? Injector used Voluma to create width in my temples.

Question

Ever since I had filler put into my cheeks (i know i still have flat cheeks) I feel like my already close set eyes look even closer. My injector pushed the voluma out towards my temples to create width. While it created very little width I feel like it looks disproportionate because my temples are still flat/hallow. Also would putting filler in the inner hallows of eyes on either side of my nose create the illusion of wider set eyes? I feel like if I got filler in my temples it wouldnt help this problem but make it worse thanks for your answers

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  I do not personally think that your eyes are close-set, but filler placement placed laterally can cause the appearance of closer set eyes.  This would require abundant filler placement.  Filler along the eyes will not create the illusion of wider-set eyes.  I would recommend seeing an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon who can walk you through the possible benefits of dermal filler placement based on the goal appearance you are trying to achieve.

Thank you for your question. Voluma fillers are intended to add volume to the cheeks and mid-face, which commonly becomes drawn as the human body ages and collagen production slows. While your eyes do not appear close-set, there is a certain amount of physical beauty that can be measured.  Large eyes, widely spaced apart has been proven to be a feature that comprises an attractive female face. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.
Best wishes,

Filler on either side of the nose wouldn't make the eyes look wider set. If you're unhappy with your final results with Voluma, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question brooklove90. I am sorry to hear about your
situation. Voluma is a filler used to enhance the appearance of the face. If a large amount of filler is placed in the outer cheeks it can make the face appear wider and give the appearance that the eyes are closer together. It is difficult to make an assessment without before photographs. Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Voluma can be dissolved if the desired effect is not achieved. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations.  Good luck!

Based on your photos, I would not say that your eyes are close together. However, you do have prominent eyes. It is possible that some filler in the brow area could be the answer, but filler is an art form. And it requires an in person exam. So, schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss.
