Can Restylane Help Fix Mild Lower Eyelid Retraction? (photo)

Lower eyelid fillers can help elevate the lower eyelids and improve eyelid retraction.  The filler needs to be injected in a different plane/location than the usual filler for tear troughs, and should see an oculoplastic surgeon familiar with the technique.  The best safest filler to use is Restylane, since it is reversible.

  I disagree with the last doctor who replied.  In my experienced hands, I have not found that Restylane can help you treat this problem

It's best to visit with a reputable and well-trained provider to discuss all of the options available to you- to help determine what treatment may best meet your needs!

While upper eye retraction is commonly associated with thyroid eye disease and warrant a medical work up, the same is not true for inferior scleral show. Inferior sceral show is often mechanical and not the result of disease process. Generally under eye filling will make a difference for inferior sceral show. What is important is finding a very experienced injector.

Restylane can be used in the lower lid to correct mild lower lid retraction.  The placement is different (in the lid) than the placement of Restylane to correct tear trough deformities (when Restylane is placed along the inferior orbital rim).  

I recommend you see an oculoplastic surgeon in your area.  You can find a member of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at their website, asoprs(dot)org.
