Hyaluronic Acid Gel Filler For Nonsurgical Management of Upper Eyelid Margin Asymmetry

Nonsurgical Management of Upper Eyelid Margin Asymmetry Using Hyaluronic Acid Gel Filler, a Retrospective, Interventional, Case series

Article specifications

This clinical trial was published in 2011 in ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery (IF 2017:0.991) by American ophthalmologists. In this article the efficacy of hyaluronic acid gel fillers as a nonsurgical alternative for the management of upper eyelid margin asymmetry in cases of relative retraction were evaluated. 8 patients with upper eyelid margin asymmetry relating to relative upper eyelid retraction treated with hyaluronic acid gel injection with average volume of 0.2ml to affect upper eyelid lowering. Image J was used for photographic analysis, and Student paired t test was performed.

Results

This study showed that upper eyelid injection with hyaluronic acid gel filler may be an effective nonsurgical alternative to improve upper eyelid margin asymmetry in cases of relative upper eyelid retraction.
