Can dermal filler be used to make eyes look less deep-set? (Photo)

Question

I have very deep-set eyes and would like to make them look less hollow and deep-set. I don't think this can be done just with filler injected under the eye. Can filler also be injected above the eye to reduce the hollow area above my eyes?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi @lkufrnlb! It is possible to inject filler to fill in upper lid hollows. I would recommend seeing a trained surgeon for injections around the eye.

Yes, it is possible to inject filler to fill in upper lid hollows. This is typically done to augment the superior sulcus medially and to round out the brow bone laterally. If you search “superior sulcus filler” or “A frame deformity”, you can find examples of Before and After photos. I would highly recommend seeing a fellowship trained Oculoplastic specialist for these delicate injections around the eye. I prefer to perform these injections with a cannula to minimize complication risks. Good luck!
