One of the greatest revolutions in facial and eyelid aesthetics was the concept of volume replacement — that is, facial fillers — and among these, one of the most sought after is eyelid filler.
How is eyelid filler done?
To replace lost volume, the most widely used product is hyaluronic acid gel. When this gel is injected under the skin, it attracts water molecules three-dimensionally, filling the eyelids and adding volume.
These fillers often complement the result of blepharoplasty surgery perfectly.
From a surgical standpoint, a large volume of eyelid fat would be needed to fill the tear trough and, even so, fillers may be needed as a complement.
Hyaluronic acid for filling the eyelids
In recent years, we have seen a large number of complications with the use of products such as PMMA or hydrogel, which is why we prefer hyaluronic acid.
It is important to remember that these hyaluronic acid fillers are constantly evolving and there are many types and brands on the market, so doctors must stay up to date!
This ongoing updating is an increasingly difficult, yet indispensable, task.
By adding volume to facial hollows, and especially to the tear trough, we are able to provide our patients with a natural look and rejuvenation.
