Nonsurgical Rejuvenation of the Eyelids with Hyaluronic Acid Gel Injections

Abstract

There has been an increased recognition for the role volume deflation plays in the aging periorbital area, and as such, rejuvenation strategies to augment and restore volume have developed and evolved. Hyaluronic acid fillers provide an efficient option for volume augmentation with good efficacy, longevity, and safety. An understanding of the changes in the upper and lower periocular area due to aging, the meticulous identification of focal hollows, and the precise delivery of filler to these areas can smooth contours and restore a rejuvenated periorbital area.
