OBJECTIVE:The acellular dermal matrix (ADM) used in correcting the tear trough deformity has been reported, but there were only a few cases. The long-term effectiveness of ADM was not clear. We aim to discuss the technique and the effect of using ADM to correct the tear trough deformity through more cases. METHODS:A retrospective study was conducted from January 2012 to January 2017. Twenty-six patients who showed obvious tear trough deformity with moderate or severe orbital fat bulging and excess of lower eyelid skin were treated with ADM to improve the appearance of the midface. Follow-up was performed for 2-12 months in 26 cases. The level of postoperative satisfaction was assessed by interview during the follow-up and rated as very satisfied, satisfied, acceptable, or unacceptable. RESULT:Twenty patients were very satisfied for having achieved complete correction. Three patients were satisfied for having achieved obvious improvement. Three patients felt the results were just acceptable and were refilled because of the insufficiency of the filler. No one was unacceptable. There were no complications such as rapid resorption, rejection, or inflammation. CONCLUSION:The method of using ADM for the correction of tear trough deformity has the advantages of low absorption rate, good appearance, and high security. It provides a new choice for the treatment of tear trough deformity. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV:This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
