Patients were photographed before the injection and at each visit. Before submission of this article, all
patients were reached by phone and asked to rate their cosmetic and fuctional satisfaction on a 5-point scale:
1 - very dissatisfied; 2 - dissatisfied; 3 - neither satisfied nor dissatisfied; 4 - satisfied; 5 - very satisfied.

RESULTS
Mean follow-up period was 16.8 ± 14.3 months. The mean satisfaction score was 4.51. Total injection volume
was 6.0 ± 3.9 mL. No major complication was encountered. Only mild bruise was seen in 2 cases which faded
within 1 week. Effective correction of the facial creases and smile lines were obtained [Figure 1]. Tissues remained
