Upper Eyelid Augmentation using Hyaluronic Acid Filler

Abstract

Aging changes occur in all the structures of the eye causing varied effects. Hyaluronic acid fillers provide an alternative to patients who decline surgery or are poor surgical candidates or basically opt to go for such invasive procedures. The application of hyaluronic acid injection into upper eyelid and superior sulcus with using cannula are useful and safe methods of restoring the youthful look and fullness of the upper eye lid with minimal side effects compared to using sharp needles, which are also more convenient to the surgical approach. Improving understanding of the ageing changes will help understand some of the problems that are faced by the aging population.
