Abstract

Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers have been widely used for reversing the signs of the aging face. Injectable fillers are particularly effective in treating vertical glabellar wrinkles. The aim of this study was to share our own safe glabella filling technique and to evaluate our results in 50 patients with facial rejuvenation. A total of 50 patients consisting of women and men with moderate to severe glabellar rhytids were enrolled in the study. Patients were evaluated before the injection procedure and 2weeks after the procedure by using the Rao-Goldman scale. We have described a new three-point filler technique. Of 50 patients, 39 were females and 11 males, and the mean age was 39.82±6.44years. The mean volume of HA that was injected into the glabellar wrinkles was 0.61±0.12mL. Eight patients had experienced mild complications related to the procedure. None of the patients had experienced skin necrosis and visual impairment. Our technique is a simple and safe procedure to correct glabellar rhytids. Practitioners should be aware of the safe injection techniques, potential complications, and management of these complications for a good clinical practice.
