  • Description: Introduction: Tear-through deformities can be a detectable sign of facial aging. Over recent years, minimally invasive procedures such as hyaluronic acid filler injections have been shown to be effective in improving this area. Malar edema is the accumulation of fluid over the malar eminence persisting for 1 month or more. Given its nature, the management remains problematic. The most commonly reported treatment modality is injection with hyaluronidase. Objectives: To determine the safety and efficacy pf triamcinolone injection in the treatment of malar edema. Methods: A total of 15 female patients with malar edema, with a mean age of 43.77 years, were treated with triamcinolone injections. The volume injected was chosen by the investigator. Prior to the triamcinolone injection, all patients had been treated with hyaluronidase, which turned out to be ineffective in all cases. Patients were asked to note all adverse effects. Results: Satisfactory results were achieved after a single treatment session for 14 patients and after two treatments for one patient. Overall, injections with triamcinolone were well tolerated and no adverse reactions were reported. Conclusions: Injection with triamcinolone appears to be a safe and effective option for the management of malar edema following hyaluronic acid filler injection. Nevertheless, further research with larger patient groups is compulsory.
