ABSTRACT
A 26-year-old female with "Progeria-like" phenotype presented with bilateral lagophthalmos and exposure keratopathy. Given the paucity of available skin to harvest, in conjunction with co-morbidities, standard surgery in the form of conventional skin grafting was contraindicated. We highlight the role of dermal fillers in such situations to reduce upper lid sulcus hollowing and increase weight of the upper lid in order to reduce lagophthalmos.
