Dr Kee Yong Seng, aesthetic physician of Premier Clinic, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur, was invited to attend a talk and workshop on Teosyal dermal fillers for improving the appearance of the eyes. The workshop was held at Sunway Medical Centre on 1 October 2014.

The talk focused on how aesthetic doctors such as Dr Kee can use hyaluronic acid dermal fillers to improve tear troughs which is a sunken appearance under the eyes, and to help hide the appearance of eye bags. The dermal fillers can be used to fill up any sunken areas which can make a person look tired or lacking sleep. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers hydate the treated area, thus helping to alleviate the appearance of dark eye circles.

Deformities over the eye region, called the periorbital region, can be corrected with dermal fillers. However, attempts at treating this sensitive area can result in potential side effects and complications due to its anatomy. Therefore it is vital for the patient to use the services of only experienced, qualified aesthetic doctors or plastic surgeons to minimize the risk of problems.

An intimate familiarity with the human anatomy, quality product selection, patient assessment, suitable patient selection and very importantly, good injection technique is very important in ensuring good results.
