Changes in the upper eyelid region can occur over time or be present naturally. A reduction in volume in this area may create a hollow appearance or changes in light reflection across the eyelid. In some cases, this may also contribute to shadowing in the upper eyelid region.
This treatment may be considered for individuals with mild to moderate volume loss in the upper eyelid. A personalised assessment is required to determine suitability.
