Hyaluronic Acid Injection for Multiple Eyelid Folds in Asian Eyelids

Hyaluronic Acid Gel Injection for Multiple Eyelid Folds in Asian Eyelids: A Novel Approach.

Article specifications

This randomized clinical trial was published in 2016 in journal of ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery (IF 2017:0.991) by American ophthalmologists. In this article a nonsurgical technique for the management of multiple eyelid folds in Asian patients using hyaluronic acid gel (HAG) injection was described and evaluated.

6 upper eyelids of 5 Asian patients who underwent HAG injection for multiple eyelid folds were identified. Patients were injected with HAG superior to the native eyelid fold in a superficial plane just deep to the orbicularis oculi muscle and in the sub orbicularis oculi plane of the superior sulcus. Demographic data, prior eyelid procedures, and location of eyelid asymmetry were documented.

Results

The results of this article demonstrate that, HAG injection in the periorbital region provides a minimally invasive, nonsurgical option to restore volume and reform a single eyelid fold.
