title: Soft tissue augmentation of periorbital fine lines and the orbital groove with Zyderm-I and fine-gauge needles.
abstract: A new procedure utilizing Zyderm-I (Collagen Biomedical, Palo Alto, CA) and a 32-gauge needle for augmentation of the periorbital fine lines and the orbital groove is described. This advanced soft tissue augmentation technique is described in detail in 30 patients with before, after, and 1-week post-augmentation photographs presented by the author. This technique requires familiarity with soft tissue augmentation and the use of collagen injectable materials as well as specific training on a one-to-one basis with someone experienced with this particular technique.
