Introduction:

Periorbital aging is considered a complex and multifactorial process that is related to intrinsic and extrinsic processes such as degenerative changes in the skin, appearance of fine lines, volume loss, tissue descent, sagging skin, and excess fat deposition.

Objetive:

To evaluate the results of correction of dark circles under the eyes and the nasojugal sulcus with Nanofat.

Methods:

A prospective longitudinal study was performed in the Plastic Surgery and Caumatology Service of the Clinical Surgical Hospital "Hermanos Ameijeiras" from August 2019 to May 2021. The sample consisted of 37 patients. The data were summarized in absolute and relative frequencies.

Results:

The mean age was 47.2±10.7 years. The 89.2 % of the patients were women. The mean emulsified tissue infiltrated per side was 1.40±0.4 ml, with a minimum volume of 1 ml and a maximum of 2 ml. In 83.8 % of the cases there was a decrease in the nasojugal sulcus and in 16.2 % there was a great improvement. In 100 % of the patients there was improvement of hyperpigmentation and great improvement of skin quality. Among the complications only one patient (2.7 %) presented nodules due to calcification in the recipient area. The rest of the patients in the study did not present adverse events. The degree of post-treatment satisfaction with Nanofat was 100 %.

Conclusions:

The results of correction of dark circles and nasojugal sulcus with Nanofat are very good.
