What are the complications of eyelid filler and how are they addressed?
It is common for patients with a history of eyelid filler to present with sagging, lumpy, bumpy eyelids and cheeks, a problem that can be very difficult to address. Eyelid filler acts as a tissue expander, stretching different layers of the eyelid. Removal of filler can cause hollowness. Treatment options include putting in more filler (not recommended), putting fat in the eyelids (which can be unpredictable), or putting collagen in the eyelids.

What is ptosis and how does it affect vision?
Ptosis is a medical condition where the upper eyelid droops, sags, or falls over the eye, typically due to the levator muscle not functioning correctly. The severity of this eyelid droop can lead to limited vision or even complete blockage.
Source →

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$46

Payments

1

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Grant Gilliland received $46 across 1 payment in 2025. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was DePuy Synthes Sales Inc..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
