Sunken Eyelid Filler in Myeongdong, Seoul
A hollow upper eyelid can look tired or aged, and sometimes follows eyelid surgery. A very small amount of soft filler restores gentle fullness under the brow bone.
Quick answer
Sunken eyelid filler places a tiny volume of soft hyaluronic acid, usually 0.2–0.5 ml per side, under the brow bone to fill a hollow upper lid. It can make eyes look less tired and help an uneven double-eyelid crease look softer. It is an advanced treatment near the eye, done with a blunt cannula in small amounts. Results usually last 9–12 months.
Why do upper eyelids look sunken?
Fat behind the upper lid thins with age, weight loss or after eyelid surgery, leaving a hollow under the brow bone. This can deepen the eyelid crease and make the eyes look tired. Restoring a little volume softens the area.
Who is it for?
- Hollow upper eyelids or a deep, uneven crease.
- Hollowing after weight loss or eyelid surgery, with your surgeon’s agreement.
- Not for heavy, hooded lids, which need lifting or surgery.
How Obliv plans sunken eyelid filler
Your doctor examines the lids with eyes open and closed, checks the crease and brow position, and uses a blunt cannula to place very soft filler in tiny amounts under the brow bone, reviewing symmetry as it goes.
