The safety of tear trough deformity treatment: an overview

Abstract

The use of minimally invasive cosmetic interventions is constantly growing, and tear trough deformity treatment using dermal fillers is one of the non-surgical procedures that is in increasing demand. However, there is also growing public concern about the safety of this treatment option, and patients may be particularly anxious due to the proximity of the eyeball to the injection site. In this article, Francesca Ramadan outlines the risks associated with this procedure and the elements required for careful patient consideration and selection.
