Objectives: Tear trough: agarose gel treatment
To report safety and patient satisfaction outcomes of AGAROSE GEL 1% for correction of tear trough
Introduction: The tear trough deformity is commonly requested for correction, most often by filler injections. However, the tear trough remains difficult to treat due to its complex anatomy, a variety of other concurrent deformities, and the high risk of complications.
AGAROSE GEL filler can be safely used as a soft-tissue filler for correction of infraorbital hollowing. It has a high overall patient satisfaction profile among patients.
Materials / method: This was a retrospective observational study performed at a private ambulatory of aesthetic medicine and surgery practice. Participants were all patients 21 to 85 years old who presented to our practice and underwent agarose gel 1 % treatment for correction of tear trough as a singular intervention from February 2019 to July 2021.
Interventions: Injection of Agarose gel 1% to the tear trough, nasojugal fold, and/or palpebromalar groove.
Main outcomes and measures: Primary outcome measures include the number of recorded short- and long-term adverse events, need for additional treatment, and
Results: Results: A total of 202 eyes were treated in 101 patients with a mean follow-up of 12 months. Patients were principally female (90 [89%]) with an average age of 54 years (range, 21-85 years). Most patients (99) had Fitzpatrick grade 1 to 4 skin type (98%) and had an infraorbital hollows score of 2 to 4 (89 [88%]). The average initial treatment volume was 0,5 mL with 18 patients (18%) requiring additional treatment within 3 months. The average time until additional treatment was 35.7 days. Adverse effects include bruising (in 10 [10%], contour irregularities (2 [2%]),swelling (7[7%]),

Conclusion: Hyaluronidase never was required . Forty-one patients completed the FACE-Q Satisfaction With Eyes survey, and 42 patients completed the FACE-Q Satisfaction With Decision survey (41% and 42%). Overall mean (SD) patient satisfaction (based on FACE-Q scores) was 71.1% (27.3) and 65.6% (31.3), respectively
Conclusions and relevance: agarose gel 1% has a high patient satisfaction profile and and good safety profile for the correction of tear trough.
