When can I get fillers after upper bleph?

Question

Hi, how long do I have to wait after upper bleph to get fillers to the upper eyelid? Is 3 months ok? (I had too much fats removed causing the area to be sunken in and the crease is not forming properly probably because of that, looking more like "A" shape then the usual round curve shape)

Upper eyelid filler injection can be done as early as one month after upper blepharoplasty. See an expert.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Waiting until three months after surgery should be adequate to get fillers.  You will want to ensure that the swelling is resolved and that you have no complications during healing.  I encourage you to meet with an experienced injector for your treatment.

this can be done a few weeks after bleph but if you want to be "conservative" waiting 6-12 weeks Is fine. do It with cannula and softer fillers like refyne, belotero, or volbella (see my youtube upper eyelid restylane, asian eye). Combined proper skincare to help improve your scar and maintain the filler (see link).  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. 3 months should be long enough healing time to wait to have fillers. You should always double check with the doctor that performed your bleph and take their recommendation into consideration. Hope this helps!

I would wait 3-6 months to let any post surgical swelling resolve. Upper eyelid injections require a good understanding of anatomy and advanced injection skills so I would see someone experienced for the filler injections.
