Under-Eye Filler (Baby Eye®)

In 2016, Dr. Gera Tagani recognized a growing need for a highly specific solution to address the tired, hollow appearance in the eye region that persisted even after standard under-eye treatments. After closely observing patients seeking rejuvenation, she identified that the root of this issue often lay in volume loss and genetic bone structure asymmetry around the superior sulcus (upper eyelid area) and orbital rim. Many patients, despite undergoing blepharoplasty, brow lifts, or under-eye filler treatments, continued to experience an unbalanced, hollow appearance due to anatomical factors that these procedures failed to address.

The problem was particularly prevalent in younger patients with genetically predisposed deep-set eyes, where the bone structure in the upper orbital rim encroaches on the soft tissue, creating an exaggerated hollow effect. This unique volume loss, compounded by thinning skin and lack of fat in the area, required a more precise and tailored approach.

Dr. Tagani developed the Baby Eye® Technique to restore balance and natural fullness to this delicate area. Combining her deep knowledge of anatomy with a specialized tool and exclusive HA-based filler, the technique achieves a subtle, youthful transformation while preserving the patient’s individuality. The name “Baby Eye®” reflects the soft, innocent, and refreshed look it imparts, akin to the fullness and smooth contours of a baby’s upper eyelid.

A Revolutionary Approach in Aesthetic Medicine

This technique addresses what is commonly referred to in medical terms as a hollow deformity of the upper orbital rim. It focuses on filling and reshaping the superior sulcus, correcting the natural “frame imbalance” caused by bone structure variations. This approach ensures harmony between the brow, temple, and eyelid, delivering results that are both natural and strikingly effective.
