Hi there, I wore glasses until I was 26 y/o. For this reason, my eyes are quite sunken in my face. I was considering the idea of undergoing a treatment with Restylane to make my upper eyelids look fuller and less sunken. Could anyone explain to me any risks of this procedure or if there is anything better than this treatment? Many thanks.

Answer: Filler treatment for sunken eyes
The placement of filler in the upper eyelids is very tricky and not commonly done, though not impossible. Placement of filler products or fat grafting often leads to more prolonged tissue swelling compared with treatment in other areas of the face. Additionally, the very thin tissue in this region makes irregularities or lumps a possibility.
Treatment to the eyelid/brow complex may improve the sunken appearance you're noting. I'd consult with a board certified physician with experience in treating this area to see what specific options may be best for you.

Answer: Restylane for Upper Eye Lid?
Hi London. We would not suggest using a dermal filler like Restylane on the upper eyelid. This is a very delicate area and could lead to serious complications if done imperfectly.
