Eyelid and Eyebrow Tissue Fillers in Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is meant for the beauty of eyes by some cosmetic surgical process. Sometime there are wrinkles and grooves under eyes which make you feel older and tired. This can be a cause of age factor and fat deficiency. The loss of natural dermal collagen and eyelid fat cause the wrinkles and grooves. The wrinkles and groves can be filled by dermal fillers and synthetic tissue augmentation. Eyelid tissue fillers are used to fill out depressions around eyes and between the eyebrows. Fat transfer and eyelid filler is a non-surgical technique. The tissue fillers are taken into a syringe and injected into dermis of skin depression area around the eyes. Multiple passes of tissue filler have been done into different tissue planes and make a layering effect. After that a gentle massage is done to smooth out any beading. There are many products in the market which used as tissue filler by the surgeon.
