Introduction: Discoloration and grooves are common in the lower eyelid and tend to give the bearer's appearance - even at a young age - an effect of tiredness, advanced age, and deepening of the eyeballs. Aimed at correcting these visual effects, cutaneous filling for local volume restoration has been currently indicated as a treatment, with the proposition of a number of products and techniques. Objective: To describe and evaluate the superficial application technique with the use of a fluid monophasic polydensified hyaluronic acid. Materials and methods: Sixty patients being treated between 2011 and 2014 underwent the technique. The evaluation was carried out by an applicator physician through the comparison of photographs and through questionnaires based on the Hirmand's classification answered by the patients. Results: The applicator physician rated the treatment as excellent (35% of cases), very good (50%) or good (15%), whereas for patients the results were excellent (30%), very good (50%) or good (20%). There were no reports of significant or long-term adverse effects. Conclusion: This superficial subdermal technique is easy to perform, has few adverse effects, and yields good results, leading to a high degree of patient satisfaction.
