Abstract
Many East Asians experience lower eyelid bulging and discoloration, and this is seen even in young individuals. The condition is caused by an undergrowth of the maxilla and not by aging. In this condition, the orbit appears small and the infraorbital rim is hypoplastic. This inevitably causes a depressed, tired, and sad appearance. Here, the authors present techniques of volume augmentation in the lower eyelid and cheek areas to rejuvenate the midface in Asians.Entities:
