Use of Hyaluronic Acid Fillers to Correct Scleral Show: A Review of Technique.

Generally, the shape of women's eyes are distinctly different in intercatal height from that in men. Ideally, in a woman, the lateral intercostal point is positioned above the medial intercostal point, which gives the eyes a cat-like appearance that culturally suggests youth and health. Because of aging and/or physiological changes, this area can be altered with the inversion of the lateral intercantal line lower than the medial intercantal line, producing a tired and/or sad looking appearance. Hyaluronic acid is a quick and safe method of elevating the lateral intercantal area of the eye. This article describes a technique for using hyaluronic acid for the treatment of scleral show.
