Can fillers increase interocular eye pressure?

Question

I am interested in getting fillers on the temples and cheek areas, but I am hesitant because my IOP is on the high range. Should I avoid fillers if I am at risk of getting glaucoma? Thanks!

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Fillers should not impact your IOP. Make sure you work with a very experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who is aware of your medical history. This step will ensure your treatment is both safe and successful.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

There is no known evidence showing that fillers in the areas you mentioned leads to increased IOP.  Be sure to see an experienced injector for your treatment for best results.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

there is no increased pressures or risk of glaucoma with fillers around the eyes. use cannula injections to limit eye complications and deep needle injection into the temples themselves. also start derma rolling MTS 0.25 roller plus anteagemd ampules and EMERAGESKIN re-fit eye for this area with lasers. Best, Dr. Emer.

As far as I know there are no studies correlating filler in the temples and cheeks with increased IOP.

There is no risk of fillers causing or worsening intraocular eye pressure if injected carefully and properly by a highly trained and experienced physician injector such as a dermatologist.
