Can fillers be done on the upper eyelid, and what are the risks?

Doctor's Answer

Yes, in short, fillers can be performed for upper eyelid hollowness and eyebrow lift.

Besides the general risks of swelling and bruising with fillers, filler placement in this area requires careful placement in the appropriate plane to prevent the small but serious risk of skin necrosis and blindness because of blood vessels that lead to the back of the eye in this area.

Using the right type of fillers and performed appropriately, there can be a significant and natural aesthetic result for upper eyelid hollowness.

Do consult an experienced doctor for treatment.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Dr David Deng
