Filling the periorbital hollows with hyaluronic acid gel: Long-term review of outcomes and complications.

Article specification

This clinical trial was published in 2017 in Journal Cosmet Dermatol. (IF2015: 1.56) by American ophthalmologists. This study present a long-term follow-up review of complications associated with periocular injection of hyaluronic acid gel fillers. Retrospective review of 147 patients with at least a 5-year follow-up period since the first injection.

 

Result

Hyaluronic acid gel fillers of the periorbital region are well tolerated in our long-term follow-up experience. The vast majority of cases of malar edema, blue-gray dyschromia, and contour irregularities are mild and do not require intervention. Conservative treatment and tailored treatment approaches, in terms of volume and frequency of injections, may decrease the tendency of these adverse effects to occur.
