Bridging the Gap Rather Than Filling the Entire Valley-Anatomic Insights When Treating the Medial Infraorbital Region.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The treatment of the medial infraorbital region also termed the tear trough has become increasingly popular by the use of soft tissue fillers in a minimally invasive approach using a cannula.

Methods

A total of 246 tear troughs were injected and investigated originating from 123 study participants. The clinical outcome was evaluated 6 months after the treatment by independent observers based on standardized frontal images and the procedure was documented by ultrasound imaging.

Results

On average, 0.26 (0.1) cc [range: 0.08-0.32] of soft tissue filler material was injected per tear trough. Tear trough depth was before the treatment rated as 2.12 (0.4), whereas after the treatment it was 1.15 (0.4) (p < 0.001). Hyperpigmentation score was 2.19 (0.4) before th
