The aging process causes skin modification and wrinkle formation with an alteration of the face harmony and imperfections. The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate a cross-linked hyaluronic acid enriched with glycine and proline for zygomatic malar region infiltrations. A total of twenty healthy female patients were treated for zygomatic hypotonia. The level of patients and surgeon satisfaction was evaluated by global aesthetic improvement scale (GAIS) at baseline, immediately after the procedure and at 6 months from the treatment. The healing phase was uneventful, and no complications were reported in the perioperative and follow-up periods. No significant differences were reported between patients and surgeon GAIS score (p<0.05). A significant difference of GAIS score was reported immediately after the procedure and at 6 months if compared to the baseline (p<0.05). The cross-linked hyaluronic acid enriched with glycine and proline is a useful biomaterial for zygomatic- malar augmentation with no significant local complications and a high stability and satisfaction level of the procedure.

Abstract
The aging process causes skin modification and wrinkle formation with an alteration of the face harmony and imperfections. The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate a cross-linked hyaluronic acid enriched with glycine and proline for zygomatic malar region infiltrations. A total of twenty healthy female patients were treated for zygomatic hypotonia. The level of patients and surgeon satisfaction was evaluated by global aesthetic improvement scale (GAIS) at baseline, immediately after the procedure and at 6 months from the treatment. The healing phase was uneventful, and no complications were reported in the perioperative and follow-up periods. No significant differences were reported between patients and surgeon GAIS score (p<0.05). A significant difference of GAIS score was reported immediately after the procedure and at 6 months if compared to the baseline (p<0.05). The cross-linked hyaluronic acid enriched with glycine and proline is a useful biomaterial for zygomatic- malar augmentation with no significant local complications and a high stability and satisfaction level of the procedure.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
